Ok, in between trying to finish this next book and my magazine deadlines, I'm also trying to get my 2013 seminars and lectures ready.. I feel like I still have a cushion of time, but I have just realized that I am wrong!! I've given a few talks already, but the lecture season really kicks off next Saturday with my talk in Fall River.. As with 2012, I'll be traveling around Canada and the US here and there for various events and thought I should share a few of these with you in case you're nearby and can drop in to say 'hi'! :)
Saturday February 23 from 1 to 2:30 - Fall River, NS. This will be a fun talk on the basics of veggie gardening that covers many techniques and favourite crops. I'll also discuss growing crops in pots and spotlight some of my top aromatic herbs. Register by calling 860-4570 or visiting www.halifax.ca/rec.
Monday Feb 25 from 2 to 3 pm - Basin Gardeners Garden Club - I'll tackle one of my favourite topics - obviously! - Year Round Veggie Gardening.
