  Annuals are the showstoppers of the garden world. Unlike perennials that return year after year, annuals complete their entire life cycle—sprouting, blooming, and setting seed—in a single growing season. What they lack in longevity, they more than make up for in intensity. They bloom quickly, often prolifically, and offer gardeners a chance to reinvent their spaces every year. With their wide variety of colors, textures, heights, and growth habits, annuals are perfect for those who love experimenting with new looks, color palettes, or garden layouts. 
  But the appeal of annuals goes beyond mere aesthetics. Many of these plants are pollinator magnets, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your yard. Others serve a more practical role, helping suppress weeds, soften soil, or add organic matter when tilled back into the earth at season’s end. From containers on a balcony to sprawling flower beds in the backyard, annuals bring life and joy to any space. 
  This book is structured to guide you from planning to planting, then on through the growing season with tips for nurturing and troubleshooting your garden. You’ll learn how to select the right flowers for your climate and conditions, prepare your soil for healthy growth, and create designs that pop with color and character. We’ll cover everything from sowing seeds and transplanting young plants to caring for your flowers throughout the season and saving seeds for next year’s garden.

  This is the true story of a woman who discovered a fascinating new way of living, refreshingly different to the rat race she had become trapped in. This new world was full of machoism, sexism and a complete lack of political correctness. Brizo entered a world where she was constantly surprised that being her filthy and inappropriate self was instantly accepted and even welcomed. She had glided into the world of sailing. The rough and rugged unkempt sailor types kept her dripping wet both in and out of the water. While Brizo was frustrated with the sexism that exists on deck, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that women are respected for taking charge down below. She found herself in a world where women were given credit for having many lovers and for being assertive in the bedroom. I suppose when the ratio of men is so much higher than that of women, a sailor is grateful he's secured a mermaid on his hook.

  'Sometimes I wonder, if I had known that it was going to take me fourteen years to paint this painting of the Crucifixion with Douglas as Jesus, and what it would take for me to paint this painting, would I have been as happy as I was then?'
  
  Susan Alison MacLeod, a Glasgow School of Art graduate with a dark sense of humour, first lays eyes on Douglas MacDougal at a party in 1988, and resolves to put him on the cross in the Crucifixion painting she's been sketching out, but her desire to create 'good' art and a powerful, beautiful portrayal means that a final painting doesn't see the light of day for fourteen years.
  
  Over the same years, Douglas's ever-more elaborately designed urine-based installations bring him increasing fame, prizes and commissions, while his modelling for Susan Alison, who continues to work pain and suffering on to the canvas, takes place mostly in the shadows. This Good Book is a wickedly funny, brilliantly observed novel that spins the moral compass and plays with notions of creating art.
