THE EROTIC LIFE OF MY VEGETABLE GARDEN

Unpublished, erudite and audacious Each apple is a flower that has known love (Félix Leclerc). What could be more erotic than a vegetable garden? Not much if we are to believe the happy faces and knowing smiles of all these delighted gardeners returning from a few hours in the garden! What could be more titillating than these fruits or roots with their enticing shapes, these beauties with quivering petals and blooming corollas? Let us not be surprised by this torrid atmosphere in the vegetable garden, between welcoming pistil and erect stamens! Thank you, thank you and thank you again to the plants for having invented sexuality! In addition to this generous gift that they have made to the living, knowing this physiological reality linked to reproduction allows us incidentally to better understand and above all to better cultivate our vegetable garden, for example by slowing down the need for reproduction of lettuces, by encouraging the sexual appetite of tomatoes... Let's discover in this book everything we have always wanted to know about plants without ever daring to ask (methods and organs of reproduction, classification according to plant customs, appropriate and suggestive gardening techniques...), then let's go for a walk for four seasons of pleasure in the garden: an erudite stroll in the vegetable garden, throughout the seasons, to learn the secrets of garlic, borage, hops, mint or chili pepper. 45 regular vegetable gardeners will reveal their most intimate and unexpected secrets to us, even though we thought we knew them well! A beautiful book, illustrated with photos and drawings, a little more scabrous than the usual gardening manuals, just like our vegetable gardens: cheerful, a source of pleasure, discovery and wonder. In short, so full of life! Plants have given us sexuality, the art of seduction, of adorning ourselves or of embalming. Thank you to them for being such beautiful inspirations, let's discover their reproductive stratagems and... take a leaf out of their book!
