Recommendations and Miscellaneous
By the way, I offer seminars to garden clubs or organizations, on topics from general gardening to whatever level of tomato, pepper or eggplant knowledge is desired. Please email/call me for my speaking fee.
We were pleased that our seedlings were growing in a new Leesville Road Elementary School teaching garden last year, and in various new gardens created by the Interfaith Food Shuttle (link here). We also made a major plant donation to the SEEDS garden (link here). We are delighted to have been able to make these plant donations, and look forward to doing so this season as well.
Also, we are delighted that Coon Rock Farm (link here), which grows much of the produce used at the wonderful Raleigh restaurant Zely and Ritz (link here), feature our tomato, eggplant and pepper plants.
A few recommendations we would like to make – if you love flower gardens, be sure to go to the Daniel Stowe Garden in Belmont, NC (Sue and I just returned – it was great!). (My wife, an avid quilter, also works in a stop at her favorite fabric store, Mary Jo’s, in Gastonia. Our favorite place to stay for the night is Robin’s Nest B&B in Mt. Holly. The Hostess, Robin Williams, is just delightful!
· This year we've increased tomato varieties and kept hot peppers, sweet peppers, eggplant and tomatillos in line with previous years.
· Keep an eye on http://tomatopalooza.org/ for information on Tomatopalooza8, which will take place this coming July.
· As usual, our set up location at the NC State Farmer’s Market, Lake Wheeler Road, Raleigh is never certain until we get there, so check this website early on Saturday mornings each week for details once we get going.
