garden club

Minnesota Mato · August 29, 2012

I was asked to give a presentation on tomatoes to a local garden club and explain what differant things I did with them. All were ladies between 50-80 years old and most were farmers wifes. They were so open minded, asked tons of questions and took notes, we really connected. When they finally left after 2 1/2 hours I started getting phone calls from them about how much they appreciated my presentation. Lastly I received a call from a lady that said she was a widow on a farm and had acres of land that I should use for a garden for free. Then she took it a step further and said no one at their farmers market was selling tomatoes and she wanted me to plant crops to sell at the farmers market and use the money for my childrens college. She was talking about up to 4 acres for nothing and she would have it tilled for free also. I am a little taken back, not sure what to think or where to start. She is very geniune and sweet, I'm just not sure how to plant that much land or even what to plant. very strange day!!
