If you were starting a flower garden from scratch, Fenton asks, what flowers would you choose to grow in it? The names themselves are a pleasure to read: the Shoo-Fly Plant (also known as the Apple of Peru), the Pheasant\u2019s Eye, the Iceland Poppy, the Blue Pygmy. Fenton also gives sound advice: \u201cWhen handling seedlings, always hold them by the leaves, not by the stem\u201d; and, \u201cForcefully remind your cat about the difference between seed trays and litter boxes.\u201d <strong>\u2014Robyn Creswell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Every June, in anticipation of Bloomsday, I consider rereading <em>Ulysses<\/em>; often I get as far as flipping through and pausing on favorite passages (and the accompanying college-era marginalia). A few years ago I even toyed with throwing a Bloomsday party, the menu composed exclusively from the novel\u2019s food descriptions.
