He eventually expanded his field to a farmden (more than a garden, less than a farm) and left academia to lecture, consult, and write. He is author of many books, including \u003cem\u003eThe Ever Curious Gardener\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWeedless Gardening\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Pruning Book\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLandscaping with Fruit\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as a syndicated column for Associated Press.
