Renegade Gardener Blog: The 10 Tenets of Renegade Gardening

Renegade Gardener is a gardener after my own heart. He lives "in Minnesota, a state crisscrossed by USDA Hardiness Zones often given short shrift by national gardening books and magazines." His 10 Tenets are funny and full of heard-earned gardening wisdom (http://www.renegadegardener.com/content/ttenets.htm). They make me ask myself: how can I replace the grass on the hill in my backyard? should I cut down the oak tree in the front? how can I start thinking of September as a summer month?
