Yak, you must be clairvoyant. Upcoming projects that are in the planning stages are a regular podcast, and a how-to, nicely done set of videos - I am working with my daughter Sara's friend - so yes, the project list is long - probably events for book 2 (already lots of stuff next year for book 1 - Seattle, Chicago, Kansas, Virginia to start), proposal for book 3, reengaging on the dwarf project, podcast and videos.

Did I say I retired? Nope - working more now than I did in the corporate world and enjoying it much more. Who knows - I may even be able to eke out a living on this!

Seattle!. Can't wait!

Northwest Flower and Garden Show?

**nctomatoman** · July 29, 2015

Yep - waiting to hear, but if all goes well, I will be doing two workshops there. Our daughter lives there, so we will spend a bit of time - and I may look for other local opportunities to present.

Please keep me informed of any events near me where you will be giving workshops. Asheville comes to mind. My wife and I attended the Mother Earth news fair the past 2 years and they had some good ones. Good luck with everything!

I was speaking at Asheville earlier this year - will be at the one in Seven Springs in a few months - will surely be back at Asheville next year.

Best way to see my activities is here - www.nctomatoman.com - scroll down to my events list - which changes often and I keep updated daily. The event in Monticello is just wonderful - no better place to feel the joy of gardening!

I'd be happy to send you some if you'd like.

Hmm, I didn't think Sunrise tasted anything like Sungold. It doesn't have hardly any of the same Sungold sweetness!

Humbled and thought provoking.

BigVanVader · July 29, 2015

Well like they say so many variables. I'm growing both this year and although Sungold is a bit sweeter it isn't by much in my garden.

Dinner tonight was Anna's Spaghetti. I have no Sungold this year - but I have sunsuger which imo, does not even compare! Anyways I made it with sunsugar and ambrosia gold. It was delicious! Thank you Craig!

Luigi, we had it tonight as well, as leftovers - with some zucchini, and sliced Cherokee Green and Dwarf Mr. Snow. I love this time of year!
