Description
Acclaimed gardener Amy Goldman is a dedicated seed saver working to preserve fast-disappearing varieties of heirloom melons. Her book, Melons, and Heirloom Gallery, is a celebration of the speckled, bumpy, oh-so-sweet world of the melon - from Minnesota Midget and Georgia Rattlesnake to Ali Baba and Sweet Siberian. Here she profiles more than one hundred varieties, each showcased in a full-colour photographic still life recalling eighteenth- and nineteenth-century botanical paintings and engravings. Goldman also offers expert advice on cultivating and selecting your own melons, as well as the rudiments of seed saving.
