Umberto Pasti published an essay about gardening a few weeks ago in T magazine and also on the NYT blog.

The line that resonated most with me is this: “The only piece of advice that, after two decades of gardening, I feel I should give to those just starting out is the following: Think long and hard before eliminating any form of vegetable life.”

Also take a few minutes to read some of the comments. Some were thoughtful, others made me laugh.
