Gardening in Your Nineties

About the Book

A nonagenarian (who wrote the successful book Sex in Your Seventies) tells of her efforts at gardening after a life of some experience in tilling the soil. She deals with everyday problems and reveals her own solutions. But as she works away, her thoughts wander to her past long life. She talks of her childhood on the dairy farm on the Logan, and remembers her many subsequent adventures, which will keep her readers enthralled as they travel this interesting journey with her. Through it all, there is woven a love story which may, or may not be resolved.
