I was told a copy is in the mail to me today....which will be followed by a box!

And the first draft of the text for my second (on Straw Bale gardening) was submitted today. My editor just told me it will be a December 2015 book (part of the Storey Basics series)

Thanks, friend. It's all a bit mystifying, really. But it should be a fun year coming up!

The future will be something completely new for me - I guess I have now officially moved from corporate pharma dude to garden writer!

He cannot figure out why he's having so much trouble with
tomatoes in his little garden here in Chapel Hill.

Except, when I placed the order, it comes back saying it is out of stock!

I just discovered it won't be released until the end of December.

I've decided to try my hand at growing some heirloom tomatoes next year (I've plenty of Roma and Beefsteak varieties canned).

Oh, yeah - Congratulations!!
