A garden, like a great romance, contains elements of both inevitability and insurmountable odds. In this slim volume of tell-all confessionals, the author reveals how she lost the heart of her favorite eggplant, how she took advantage of her radishes' loyalty and affection, how her cucumbers avenged themselves, and more. Sprinkled with gardening insights and ideas, these humorous essays are a delight for anyone who has ever invested their heart into a garden. This volume contains all the essays originally published in separate volumes as Confessions of a Vegetable Lover and More Confessions of a Vegetable Lover.
