I have a 9 month series that starts January 25 in Kingston. These workshops look at eating locally and seasonally and also follow a teaching garden through the year. I bring supper and it is fun, social and informative. There is still room left. You can email me at janettehaase@gmail.com and I can send you the information. Also I have a one evening workshop on Feb 3 that will only look at the gardening basics. Let me know if you are interested. Hi Wendy,

I am doing workshops in Kingston this year. I have a 9 month series that starts January 25 in Kingston. These workshops look at eating locally and seasonally and also follow a teaching garden through the year. I bring supper and it is fun, social and informative. There is still room left.

I bought your book last year and have read it a few times. It is a good reference and contains some pretty tasty recipes...thanks. A couple of other great Ontario seed companies: Upper Canada Seeds.....organic tomato seeds, all open pollinated with lots of heirlooms and excellent descriptions. The Cottage Gardener....organic heirloom vegetable, herb and flower seeds, again, with excellent descriptions and historical info. I have to agree with Leslie, above, about Monsanto. This is indeed a scarey corporation who is striving, I believe, to control the world's food supply. We should all make a stand and investigate our seed suppliers before purchasing. Will be looking forward to your next post. Christina Hi Janette, what a great site. I bought your book last year and have read it a few times.

Another wonderful Ontario seed catalogue is 'The Cottage Gardener'. A full array of organic and open pollinated veggie, herb and flower seeds along with detailed descriptions and wonderful historical information. For a wide variety of organic tomato seeds, Upper Canada Seeds is the best. I have ordered from both of these companies (as well as Greta's, West Coast Seeds, Terra Edibles and William Dam) for many years....all are incredible. I purchased your book last year and find it very informative and helpful with some tasty recipes...thank you. I've just discovered your blog and am working my way through....keep up the great posts.

Apparently Monsanto has purchased 80% of the seed companies in the world. They own both Stokes and Johnny's and although I agree with you that the sowing detail is incredible, it makes me nervous to think that one company owns so much of the world's genetics. This year Stokes catalogue is crowing that it supports the seed bank in Norway. Scary thought. According to the World Wildlife Fund, Monsanto is now trying to patent pig genetics. Perform a Google search to find the Scientific American article that describes how harmful Monsantos main cash cow really is. But their patent on RoundUp is running out soon. So they need the seed companies. Regards Leslie I strongly suggest that you try to watch the disturbing film The World According to Monsanto.

My husband and I jumped into gardening this year with about 1600 square feet of space - and NO IDEA what to do :) We have had great help and advice from neighbors and community garden members, but have also experienced setbacks from unpredictable weather and pests :( I found your book today, and am finishing the February section. Oh how I wish we had found this information sooner! I love how everything is explained and laid out in sequential order, in easy to understand language for beginners like us :) I already know your book will make next year's garden MUCH MORE successful. It was very encouraging to find your book just when we were feeling a bit downtrodden :) THANKS!!!!! Dear Janette, I could not find an email address for you, so I will just leave a comment here.
