Description
‘Tis the season when I'm making more applesauce to freeze and baking pears for dessert (or for breakfast), so what sweeter topic for today's episode than fruit? Lee Reich, who has written several books on the subject, is here with some fascinating history of the origins of the fruits we love, and some how-to growing advice, too.
Lee Reich, who gardens on his half-farm, half-garden—or farmden, as he calls it—in New Paltz, New York, is the author of many books, including the recent “Growing Figs In Cold Climates.” His latest is a juicy little book simply called “Fruit,” with 250 historic watercolors and some history of apples, pears, berries and more.
