Do you have time to read about gardening in the summer, or are you too busy with your actual garden to sit in the shade with something cool to drink and a book or magazine on your lap? If so, give yourself a break. After the monsoons started, I decided to take a little time off and catch up with the books and magazines I’ve been stacking in the corner since March. I started with Greenwoman Magazine. This new journal is unlike any other gardening magazine out there– it contains fiction, nonfiction, poems, art, and interviews. It’s less how-to and more why not? To be honest, I wasn’t sure I really wanted fiction in a gardening magazine…but my favorite part in this first issue is the short story A Human Birth by Bruce Holland Rogers. I know something is good when I can’t stop thinking about it, when I want to tell all my gardening friends to read it, so here I am saying “read it.”
