It is time. My garden this year will be my smallest in decades. [View all]

Last year I had 70 tomato plants at my house, and another 120 at a nearby Veterans Healing Farm garden that I managed with my volunteer tomato team.

But...I just turned 68 - the knees aren't great - and I don't want to miss perfect hiking or kayaking days.

So this year - 12 tomato plants. That's it! It will be the most significant in my collection - our favorites. There will be a few peppers, a few eggplants, cukes, summer squash, and bush beans.

Also working to finish my third book....and it has been a busy speaking season (Zoom or local in person).

But it feels weird to be so caught up and not transplanting thousands of seedlings!
