Eli chilling out in late April during one of his days with Sue and I
Hi all - Sue and I are deep into week day Eli care, which is utterly delightful. It has scattered by focus on gardening a bit, so I find myself behind on responding to emails, on transplanting, on yardwork. The strawbales are treated and ready, and lettuce and other greens reside, along with scallions, in our raised beds. It’s all good - things will get done when they need to. I do promise to get emails answered by the coming weekend. Those of you who watch my weekly Instagram Live also know what I’ve been up to (they can all be found on my Instagram Reels tab - @nctomatoman).
Strawbales in full mushrooming glory
There has been interest from area gardeners on which seedlings I will have this spring - as in quite soon. Numbers of any given variety are quite limited (I will note the exceptions). If you are drivable distance to us here in Hendersonville, and have interest in any of the following, please drop me an email - nctomatoman@gmail.com - to set up a time to come and get some.
