Milady's Pantry & Stillroom ~ The Practical Gardiner (1682-1745)

 

 

"Can the garden afford anything more delightful to view than those forests of asparagus, artichokes, lettuce, peas, beans and other legumes and edulous plants so different in colour and of such various shapes, rising as if it were from the dead and piercing the ground in so many thousand places as they do, courting the admiration or requiring the care of the diligent." Stephen Switzer  ~ The Practical Gardiner 1682-1745
