Spring is almost here, gardenerds. Are you getting ready to plant? We're clearing old winter crops, harvesting, and prepping beds for spring planting this week. How about you?
I wanted to drop in today to let you know that the Kickstarter for my new novel, Bolting to Seed, launched on Tuesday, and we reached our initial goal in just over 12 hours. If you're a fan of Garden Variety or any of my other books, check this out:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/1835375119/bolting-to….
There are some exclusive rewards for backers including signed copies and swag, plus zoom garden consultations with me. The most recent video I posted shares all the details. Hope you can join in the fun!

Hey gardenerds, it's already the end of January. Some of you are buried in snow, while others are harvesting winter crops. Either way, spring is coming soon.
I wanted to share my latest news: the sequel to my novel, Garden Variety, is coming soon. It's called Bolting to Seed and you can be the first to get notified when we launch the Kickstarter to help bring this book to life. Learn all about this new book here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1835375119/bolting-to…

It's nearly Thanksgiving (here in the US), gardenerds. Are you growing this fall/winter? We just finished seeding and transplanting everything out, ourselves. Just in time for a ton of rain!
The end of November is typically when we plant bulbs. It's also not too late to plant garlic, onions, and shallots. Will you be planting bulbs this season? Share your favorites below.

Hey gardenerds! Just a quick post to say that I'm taking a little break from producing YouTube videos this month while I work on a big project. More on this soon, and more videos in time for fall planting in October. Stay cool out there!

Happy September, gardenerds! Is it still too hot to plant fall crops where you live? That's true here in LA. We'll be planting seeds for brassicas indoors soon, but it won't be cool enough to plant them out until late October or early November. Such is the way in the southwest. What's your schedule? Share your plans for fall here.

It feels like the garden is making up for all the "crappy tomato years" right now. What's working in your garden this season? Share it with the community.

As the first ripe tomato appears on the vine, we're heading out on a backpacking trip. Does this ever happen to you? How do you manage your garden while you're away? Do you feel its pull while you're gone?

Hey gardenerds, It's June! What are you growing this season? We're seeing tomatoes setting fruit, and lots of other great stuff happening at Gardenerd HQ. If you're in Los Angeles, come out to the Culver City Garden Show this Saturday. I'll be the keynote speaker at 1:30 on Saturday. Hope you can join me for a fun, free garden-focused day. show.culvercitygardenclub.org/

Attention all gardenerds! Today is the big day: High Yield Small Space Organic Gardening is officially released into the wild. If you haven't already picked up your copy (that will help you grow your own food more efficiently, successfully, and with all the knowledge you need) now is your chance. We're offering autographed copies in the Gardenerd Store (at Gardenerd.com) or grab one from your local independent bookseller. Here's a fun pic with a few friends from the book launch party last weekend.
