If you're ever up our way, be sure to let me know!
And if the dwarf project branches out into microdwarves for indoor growing, we have a testing ground for em. Something worthy of the name "Shady" or just plain "Dark" Seriously I dream of a tomato that will produce sweet fruit in the dark. This time of year, every year..... |

Aaaargh! I live an hour from Baltimore but I will be in NC at the MENF in May when you are here. I guess we'll pass each other on the road. I would love to go to one of your talks sometime. Maybe you could make an appearance at Longwood Gardens or Winterthur. I'll keep checking your website.

Hi Muddy - I was at Longwood last year and did ask Winterthur - no response yet. I am sure eventually - I expect to be at this for some years yet!

Not sure how workshops are organized but something going on in Memphis next week. Forgotten his name but someone from Johnny's, a few others. Also Curtis Stone from BC. He has some good videos about market gardening.
Seems just about every large and small metropolitan area has something going on all year...hence your busy schedule. I used to attend all the summer scheduled talks in the Catskills. Not worth the small audience unless a town-wide centennial or big event. -And a flight/hotel room covered. |

At this point, I am not really seeking much else unless they are pretty significant - got enough travel for sure....my approach is often that those things meant to be, become!

Second that! For a midwest leg of your tour also in the area consider Reiman Gardens at Iowa State University in Ames, and Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah.
