In an effort to declutter my house I would love to give these to some garden person on this site. Of course you have to be local to Parkesburg, PA. and you have to come pick them up.

Hope your efforts go better than the "seed exchange" here which has generated minimum interest.
I am selling lots of things on Facebook Market place. Nicely busy, but not crazy. Had a flurry of stuff in December. Just sold a beautiful vintage oil lamp for $70.00. All meeting my goal of cleaning out stuff.

50 years ago I bought several vegetable garden books, I thought they were all great, especially books with good pictures. Now I know all of my books are trash so I threw them in the trash. If the author lives near Canada he claims best time to plant, corn, tomatoes, bean, is 2nd week of June. 2nd week of June at my house it's 100°F no rain & dry as desert. I have not seen a book yet that knows the correct time or how to plant, potatoes, onions or garlic. No one every talks about first frost & last frost. Most books don't say much about fertilizer. Books like to talk about zones but never tell you want zones are. Some books claim raised beds are best but never tell you a 2 ft tall raised bed 3 ft x 8 ft will cost you $500 for lumber and 50 bags of potting soil. Book pictures show 12 raised beds all spaced 4 ft apart, wow what a terrible waste of garden space. I use to be stupid, now I am less stupid.

I should have two of these books in my library. I just need to look for them. I'm thinking of starting to grow more vegetables this year as I'm currently struggling with weight and I'm thinking of starting to eat more healthy and organic food. I've already found where to Buy Mounjaro Online that might help me. But first I'm going to see a doctor and talk to him about my weight and what to do about it. But anyway, eating homegrown vegetables is really cool

I have a few old garden books too! Selling them sounds like a good idea. I’ve used abebooks before. It’s a great platform for selling old or rare books. You can often get better prices than on other sites. Might be worth checking out for your collection.
