Upcoming garden events.. and Bob Cervelli!

Bob, Carleen (my awesome editor from Storey Publishing)
and me in Bob's winter garden picking parsnips and beets!

I know that it's -15 C outside right now with the windchill and it feels mighty cold, but I have to admit that I'm kind of in a spring-like frame of mind. I've been busy working on presentations for numerous upcoming events (click here to check out the events which will be open to the public), reading advance copies of some fabulous soon-to-be-released gardening books (including Liz Primeau's In Pursuit of Garlic - LOVE it) and seeding shoots like broccoli, sunflower and radish.

I also just got an e-mail about another upcoming event that will be happening on Wed Jan 18th at 7 pm at the Tantallon Library. The wonderful Bob Cervelli, will be speaking on The Zero Mile Diet.. I'm hoping to attend, as he is a great speaker and an incredible gardener.

In fact, Bob is also featured in The Year Round Vegetable Gardener! We photographed his cold frames, unheated greenhouse and open garden beds in winter.. so much fun! Here's a photo from our winter shoot last Jan in Bob's garden. So much fun!
