Unfortunately by the terms of work for hire an author loses all rights. Work for hire should never be done. Author should always retain copyright. In this case the idea wasn't strictly mine & I'd had such great dealings with the publisher on two other projects (and did retain copyright on those books since they were my ideas from the start). The publishers became dear friends, & when one of them got extremely ill, I could hardly add insult to injury demanding rights I'd signed away. I mentioned the orphaned book to an editor at Sasquatch Books not to re-sell it, just talking about projects that went astray, & she immediately asked to see the manuscript -- but it just wasn't possible to do that legally & with decency. I may someday ressurect the project under a different title and write a whole new text, as the original text was keyed to available seeds, and many of the available varieties have changed since. But for so long as the publisher is issuing even a book a year, I feel it would be wrong to step on any toes.
Nice pot jungle in those photos. I see lots of room to stack & expand. I notice no windowboxes for instance. If attaching them is banned by the condo they could still be stacked/freestanding to look like window boxes. I see you go for floweriness -- I'd add a few things woody that might be only leaves most of the year, then flowers packed in under, partly so that there's something left over in winter. You could also train shade-vines through the living room or over the bedboard. Could have a small worm-compost in the kitchen. Hey, maybe i COULD readjust if I had to.....
