Oklahoma Gardening

Good reads in the garden

11 years ago

I often listen to music or audio books while out playing in the garden (not all the time, mind you, because garden sounds are golden too). Saturday or Sunday afternoons the playlist usually includes KGOU's blues programming,
but I've found myself listening more and more to downloaded audiobooks on my phone.

Many Oklahoma libraries participate in the Oklahoma Virtual Library system, where patrons can borrow downloaded audiobooks (and ebooks) for up to 14 days. I just borrowed and started 1493 which chronicles the results of Columbus' journey, including plant life.

I guess podcasts from You Bet Your Garden by Mike McGrath would also be good garden fodder.

What are your good garden reading selections?

I download audio books from the library and listen to them while I am walking. My neighborhood thanks me because then I do not feel the need to break out in singing as I am walking :) It also encourages me to get out and walk so I can hear the next part of the story!

I have worked my way through several mystery series.
