That was interesting to see the trails that you follow. I use several of those myself but see some new sources that I will have to try in the future.
Edna was an interesting woman. I really liked you quoting her article on the use of radiation on seeds. It brought back memories of my mom taking me to see a play in Los Angeles about 1970 called "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds"
If I remember right it wasn't really anything about the use of radiation on seeds but more about a dysfunctional family and how one person coped by using science as a distraction.
Thanks for sharing your process -- very interesting! There are so many rabbit holes you could fall into.
Yes, so many. I had not heard of "atomic gardening!"
This was really fascinating, Carol, thanks for sharing your process!
You're welcome! Next week, a new Lost Lady, a new process!

Now heading off to check out that play...

I enjoyed reading about Edna King Mandeville and your extensive research. Thank you.
You're welcome, Allen! i still need to write about Elizabeth Lawrence. Younger gardeners don't know a thing about her!
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing your methods.
You may have inspired me to do the same for Chilean lost ladies of garden writing.
Do it!
