Hello Fellow Gardeners!
Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy it!








Well here we are, only two weeks till Christmas! Here in Astoria, we are having a fabulous sunny day! Beautiful blue sky and lots of sunshine. I love it! Soon we will back to our typical rainy weather but not today.

Today I am taking my working AeroGarden back down to the pond store for display. Quite a few folks have stopped in to see it and come back to see how it is growing! Funny how even in the "dead" of winter, we all still feel better seeing something growing even if that is only lettuce! LOL

I can't wait till spring and I can get some "real" tomato plants growing. I bought some tomatoes on the vine at the grocers and they are frankly hard and have little taste. Do you know how the growers get them a beautiful red color? They are gassed with ethylene. Ethylene is the same gas given off by fruits such as apples and bananas as they ripen which is why you never want to store apples and bananas together!

Speaking of seeds, my seed supplier has sent the updates for 08 so I will be working at getting my seed lists updated over the next three weeks in time for January's customers. Very little changes but some new flower seeds are on the list which I think you may find enticing! Be sure to check back next month to see what we have to offer!

I wish for you the most joyful of holidays!
