Happy mid December, gardening pals! I continue to work on my 2020 garden update blog series - the second (and last) of the Dwarf Tomato Project work in my garden from last season should be ready to post soon.

But….with the big winter holidays upon us, here’s an idea…

I’ve spoken before about participating in some important veggie trials - I am a curator for three of them, and the program is called the Seed Collection Experience. Check that hot link for more info - you can choose slicing, paste or cherry tomatoes. There are great collections by other curators as well!

A fun way you can do this right now is by highlighting what great last minute gifts these make for garden lovers! We've updated our gift purchasing experience so that folks are now able to "deliver their gift" themselves on the date(s) they choose. They can even print off a little card talking about the collections they are gifting if they prefer to give a physical gift.

Here’s the great gift idea - there is a special holiday offer going Saturday Dec 12 - Thursday Dec 31 that you should be aware of. All Collections are 20% off when a purchaser enters any of the following coupon codes at purchase. You can use codes CBN20, Craig20, Meg20, EFN20 or OSA20 (the codes refer to the curators) - any codes will work for any collection!

To find out more, you can listen to a Seedlinked member, Bjorn Bergman, who was recently interviewed about Seed Collections on Margaret Roach's A Way to Garden podcast/radio show. It is a very informative half hour, well worth spending.

So - the last two garden update blogs (Dwarf Tomato Project, and everything else I grew) should be published by Christmas. I am caught up pretty much on emails. I hope to begin fulfilling seed requests very soon!

Stay safe, stay well…and enjoy your holidays!

Snow from mid January, just after we moved in…hoping to see just a bit of this soon (we still love snow!)
