Planet Pomegranate: Dispatches from the Garden and Life

Perhaps you are familiar with the term “gardening.” It is a tangle of weirdness. Turns out there’s more to it than growing a lovely lawn or prolific pepper plant.
Planet Pomegranate is a collection of columns written by journalist Laura Christman for the Home & Garden section of the Record Searchlight, the daily newspaper in Redding, Calif. The pieces are a mix of conversations, observations, reflections and frustrations. Some related to the garden; some are not.
Revealed are the stories of:
•the spindly spring of tenacious Bermuda grass
•the petticoat that joined the family
•the pumpkin that perplexed a newsroom
•the joyful journey of the wandering lemons
•the greatest donkey that ever lived
Planet Pomegranate explores the wonder of growing — whether it’s in the garden or as a person. It is about growing stuff, growing up, staying curious and finding joy in simple things.
And appreciating pomegranates — it’s about that too.
