Very similar to Sunset is the Southern Living garden Book
Well there are whole books about tips and tricks.

As a general caveat, this period has sadly become a bit of an awkward step-child in Chinese historiography and archaeology. There tends to be more research on the early Imperial period immediately following the warring states, or on the early dynastic periods immediately preceding it. There's still good work out there, of course, but it's mostly produced by a small group of researchers who work closely with Cambridge.
If you're still looking for books on the history of this period, here are some of my recommendations in no particular order.
Excavating the Afterlife: The Archaeology of Early Chinese Religion by Guolong Lai.
Landscape and Power in Early China: The Crisis and Fall of the Western Zhou 1045-771 BC by Li Feng
Early China: A Social And Cultural History by Li Feng
Ancient China and the Yue: Perceptions and Identities on the Southern Frontier by Erica Fox Brindley
Ancient Chinese Warfare by Ralph D. Sawyer
Picturing Heaven in Early China by Lillian Lan-ying Tseng
Envisioning Eternal Empire: Chinese Political Thought of the Warring States Era by Yuri Pines
I bought this book for about $6 as an intro to hardscaping. It's by Don Engebretson of renegadegardener.com, who does amazing stonework in addition to having one of the most informative websites for beginning landscapers. The book is a good introduction to stonework and covers both mortared and dry laid walls.
I'm in south Florida, too. Good on you for getting rid of the BP. Depending how far south you are, the Institute for Regional Conservaition (http://regionalconservation.org/) might be helpful to you. They have a Natives for Your Neighborhood feature where you can search for plant lists by south Florida ZIP codes (link on the left hand side). There's also a great book for native landscaping for south Florida (http://www.amazon.com/Native-Plant-Landscaping-Florida-Wildlife/dp/0813034949); the author has an awesome nursery in Pinellas County.
I have lots of favorite natives, but one of the tops for me is fiddlewood (Citharexylum spinosum). There are so many great plants here, though.
If you're in SWFL, Extension is super hit and miss with their plant recommendations.
Midwest Native Trees by Bernard Schwartz might be a good book for you.
Check on Amazon or thriftbooks for used copies, or your local library may have it free.
Nice one. Have been pretty interested myself since I was an LSD loving kid. My theoretical knowledge far outweighs my practical, though, so is for all intents and purposes completely fucking useless.
I'd like to start with perhaps a DMT or Mescaline extraction and work up from there. I had a friend who gave me Oxy but he "borrowed" it back and then pissed off to New Zealand after fucking up on home-made Meth. I was pretty impressed by the meth he was knocking up despite being scared shitless at how strong a drug it was and how moreish it can be.
