As some of you already know I'm leaving Texas. So I have a lot of great organic Texas gardening books (most are in perfect condition)to trade with someone who has a book I'm looking for. So here it goes...
I have the following to trade:
Plants for Texas -Howard Garrett
Herbs for Texas -Howard Garrett
Texas Organic Gardening- Howard Garrett
Xeriscape for Central Texas
Travis County Master Gardener Assoc's Gardening Guide for the Austin Area
Native and Adapted Landscape Plants -Grow Green
Fruit & Nut Tree Growing Guide for Central Texas (poster/booklet) -Treefolks
Tree Growing Guide for Aust (poster/booklet) -Treefolks
I would like any of the following or other books/ magazines along the same lines:
The complete book of self sufficiency -John Seymour
4 season harvest -Eliot Coleman
Root cellaring -Bubel
Seed to Seed -SSE Guide Book
Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving
Organic Housekeeping -Ellen Sandbeck
Landscaping with Native Plants of Michigan -Lynn M. Steiner
Or a few organic gardening magazines, old house journal, or other magazines a long those lines. |

Sorry, I wish I could help you. You have a great list of books! Sure wish I were trading places with you and we could trade a few books as well. Hope they find good homes.

Emily, since I'm stuck here in west Texas, xeriscaping is the only way you can garden and I'm defintely doing organic so I like the Howard Garrett books. I would love to get some of your book, I can only dream of someday moving to the Austin area. I'm not sure I would have any of the books you're looking for but I'll see what I do have.

Give me through the weekend to go through some things and I'll see what I come up with.
It looks like you're moving to Michigan and are interested in organic, canning and gardening. Are there any other interest I can look for?

| We are looking at either rehabbing an old house or building a "green" house ourselves. So if you have any books along those lines I would be interested in them as well. |

Emily, the good news is our taste are about the same, the bad news is our taste are about the same. 
I may check out the used book store also and see if they have anything that might work for you.
