Recommendation for Viewing from Alicia:
Nova-like PBS' NATURE science series is definitely worth watching. As the growing season begins you will learn so much from watching the episode "What Plants Talk About".This episode premiered last year in April 2013. We watched this the other night and it is excellent, presents new research. Clever experimentation shows recent discoveries of how plants communicate.
This is fascinating; it is amazing. It gives a new understanding of what plants are up to. I notice there are several books related to the fairly new topic of "plant thinking".
