I hope you can all see this. The book is incredible...written by Michael Pollan. It is an in depth look into 4 plants that have changed or impacted history by arousing passion: like the tulip. No, it is NOT x-rated!!!!!

OT - incredible PBS Program
Yep, it's being broadcast on our local PBS station on Wednesday too, only at 8:00 p.m. http://www.wmfe.org/site/PageServer?pagename=tv_highlights
I think we have something going on that night (either a volleyball game or basketball scrimmage) at the college and wont' be home ... setting the recorder right now, just in case I'm not here to watch.
Thanks Carol!
I got a chance to see this show last night; it was beyond excellent. Thank you for mentioning it Carol! I hope everyone who is interested in growing things gets a chance to see this program - Just fascinating!

Arrrgh! I forgot to set the DVR!! It sure doesn't take much to sidetrack my brain. I'm going to check our PBS listings now to see if it will be shown again! Drat! I should have recorded it right then and there like I said I was!
Here's a sneak peak video of the program: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdXOeWMwX-4
Very interesting, I sure hope our PBS broadcasts it again!
It was shown again last night on our local PBS station so I would bet it will be on several more time. Excellent show.
I only saw the last two plants being discussed, but I did set the DVR, so I will be able to watch from the beginning.

I liked the part where it said that some of the best, most advanced, gardeners now in the world are growing indoor Marijuana.
Those folks know the 'state of the art' techniques before WE do!!!!!
Aren't we glad?
