I read Virgil's Georgics for the first time this spring. It is very beautiful, but I did think some of it strange advice.

I have been enjoying reading your articles the last few months, and was pleased to find another Thomas Hardy fan!

Thank you for your comment! Yes, there are plenty of odd things he recommends. If you enjoyed it keep going to the Eclogues and the poems in the Appendix Vergiliana—there’s a poem in the latter collection that describes how to make a cheese called moretum. It’s quite tasty.
