Yeah, I think Jim Crockett got a bunch of us neophytes turned on the them in the 70s! LOL
James Underwood Crockett ?
or as I refer to him as :" Saint Crockett "
He had an easy-going manner, and was eager to educate and facilitate gardeners.
I still use his 1977 book for scheduling, transplanting, and monthly gardening chores : "Crockett's Victory Garden", formerly a PBS regularly scheduled weekly program.
I still have a couple of Victory Garden books somewhere and some of the old Old Organic Gardening books...
