Today was a blur (a familiar feeling during book-related events this year, particularly when they involve workshops). This morning felt just wonderful - after a lovely introduction by SSE President John Torgrimson, I had the privilege of sharing the story of how my book Epic Tomatoes happened, much of it catalyzed by joining the organization in 1986. It is always gratifying to be able to share my stories with such a large, involved audience.
This evening I got to spend an hour with many fellow garden authors signing books. Always an enjoyable activity for me, many wonderful gardening stories were shared, and I am grateful to all of those who purchased Epic Tomatoes.
Tomorrow, I get the caffeine shift once again, sharing the story and progress of the Dwarf Tomato Project at a 9 AM workshop. Not long after, Sue and I will head for the airport for our return to Raleigh...where, no doubt, many tomatoes, peppers and eggplant await harvest.
A visit to Decorah, and, particularly, an invitation to speak at an SSE event is so memorable and enjoyable, as well as great honor. Thanks to all for your warm hospitality.
Here are some pics from the day.
