Do you eat any of the vegetables listed below? If so then you need to grab this delicious book pronto. It will also help youngsters appreciate their veggies at the dinner table. All of the great Garden Clubs use this book. The groups pepper each meeting with a poem from "These Blooming Edibles" (displayed on the overhead projectors accompanied by a performance art presentation where members take turns enacting each edible, often in costume). It is a cherished tradition for so many. If your gathering doesn't do this, then you can start it yourself. It will inspire everyone to work together to plant a community garden, care for a public green space, or share recipes. Every gardener loves this collection. Vegetarians love it too. "These Blooming Edibles" makes a great gift for one and all. L. Young Correthers turned common vegetables, like tomatoes and potatoes, into human-like characters. His anthropomorphic verses are a treasure. We hope you enjoy! A book is a seed that germinates a cornucopia of ideas. Here is a list of each chapter's tasty poem.
