🍓 Old Herbaceous: A Novel of the Garden by Reginald Arkell
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
“It was one of those mild autumn mornings when early mist had turned to soft rain and water dripped from everything.”
Herbert Pinnegar started out as a young boy obsessed with wild flowers, growing into a young gardener at a Lady’s estate, and eventually becoming Head Gardener and a judge at the county fair. This is his story.
Old Herbaceous, as the people call him, is a quaint and forward gardener who knows when he’s right and knows when he’s difficult. Following his life from chapter to chapter was such a treat and became emotional at the end as we see how age affects us and the difficulties of changing times.
My friend got me this book and I will reread it as I feel the need to experience the joys of the garden over again!

So deeply not ready for this trip to go over. This was a dream trip years and years in the making, and it lived up to and surpassed all its expectations. (For one, we were not attacked by any spiders.) Post-trip depression is so real! What do you mean I have to go back to real life?? At least I’ll see my precious soft cat at the end of these long, long flights.

Dracula Daily starts in two weeks! - Hey look, it's 2024! Let's read Dracula together.
Hello! Matt here. A quick reminder: you’re getting this email because you signed up for Dracula Daily, the email newsletter that sends you the full text of Dracula in real time. If that doesn’t sound familiar, you can unsubscribe at the link at the bottom of this email.
Two Week Countdown!
The story of Dracula starts on May 3, which means we’re just two weeks away. Dracula is fun to read along with people, so if there’s anybody in your life you’d like to join this book club with, get ‘em on board now! :)
On May 3 you’ll get the first section of the book, as we meet Jonathan Harker. After that, you’ll only get emails on days when there’s action in the book.
Confused about how this works? I cover some common questions here. https://draculadaily.substack.com/about
Can’t wait?
You can just nervously drum your fingers for the next two weeks - or check out some other ideas to fill the void:
Dracula’s Guest is a short story Bram Stoker wrote originally as the first chapter of Dracula. It was cut for publication but serves as a kind of prologue.
We’re getting ready to launch a fun new little thing over at Studio Kirkland, our family brand of silly side projects. Get on that email list if you want to be notified about that. We only email a few time per year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dracula Daily is also a physical book, where we’ve rearranged Dracula in a strictly chronological order, and added some jokes from the internet. So if you’d rather experience this on paper, you’ve got that option. But the emails are pretty fun!
That’s it
The next email you get will be the start of Dracula.
Until then,
Matt
