Default Seedy Saturday

Another amazing Seedy Saturday in Calgary last weekend.
"Seedy Saturday is a celebration and sharing of open-pollinated seeds and gardening know-how—“saving our past for our future.” Seedy Saturday/Sunday events are held across Canada
I could not have done it without the help of my wife, son and colleague from work.
I am thankful for how patient everyone was waiting in line to get some tomato seeds and/or tomato plant starts that snaked around the room we were in.
So much fun talking tomatoes to the complete newbies to serious growers!

Looks like a fun time. I have always liked your seed envelopes. Nice presentation. You had a good crowd this year.

Jeff, is that you on the left of the picture or are you one of those two youngsters.

Says Ted, who has tongue in cheek on this one.

People in parkas talking tomatoes, the love runs deep.

Cool. My hometown. Hope you sold lots Jeff. The parkas will be out for a bit yet, but I saw the first robin and the first gopher of the year this week. Just need to see a seagull to complete the spring harbinger trifecta.

Great exposition and photoes, Jeff!

You should organize The Seedy Week or at least a Week-End this perfect way!

If you would like to try more varieties from me- just let me know and we will get a new seed trade for this or the next year like many years ago

I always like your seed packs too, Jeff)

By the way, when did you start seeds of these tomato plants?
