Sue and Betts on our Blue Ridge Parkway walk last week

It’s a blustery, chilly Tuesday morning, and I am just back from the post office. The last padded envelopes that fulfill recent seed requests are on their way to gardeners here and there in the US. A few books tucked with seeds will be on their way as well. All that will remain are a few complex seed requests that are headed outside of the US, always a challenge! Hopefully those will be done by the end of this week and I can call this task complete.

My first Zoom, for a Wisconsin master gardener group this evening, is not open for wider attendance, unfortunately. I’ve updated my list with additional details - my current list of events is in this blog entry.

With seeds and books on their way to you, and events underway, the next topic on my to do list is planning my 2024 garden. Initial estimate is to get lettuce and spinach planted indoors on Feb 1. Tomatoes will follow on March 1. I will of course share my thoughts on this blog, and on Instagram.

Also on my list at a high priority is digging into the Dwarf Tomato Project book that I will write, then self publish.
