For those of you who requested tomato seeds throughout the growing season, watch your mailboxes over the coming week. I completed half of the requests today, and should get the rest completed by the weekend. I am very low on a lot of varieties now, so can’t accept any additional requests at this time. I look forward to hearing about how the various varieties do for you next year!

I will probably do an Instagram Live this coming Friday at 3 PM eastern just to say hello and catch folks up on a few things - the GET course discount, seed sending, and touch upon early thoughts for next year. It seems ages since I’ve done one - time just seems to fly these days.

Our other current bloomer

This is going to be a very brief blog - but there are two big news items!

First - I will be giving a Zoom on behalf of the Darien Library, Darien CT - it is free for all to join - the Zoom link is here. The title of the talk is “"What We Grew Then, and What We Grow Now: A Look at the History of Gardening" - I will be taking a look at gardening in the US in the mid 1800s, early 1900s, mid 1900s and today, looking at the most popular crops and varieties and trends. The talk is loaded with images from old seed catalogs. I am so pleased that I was asked to do this workshop - it is one of my favorites!

Next - my friend and colleague Joe Lamp’l (of Growing a Greener World fame) will be launching his next gardening course, part of his online Organic Garden Academy. The course title is Organic Vegetable Gardening and will launch in spring 2023. You can preregister for the course here . Joe and I co-instruct the course Growing Epic Tomatoes, which has proven to be very highly regarded (as with all of Joe’s courses). This newest one promises to be of equal excellence and value.
