Look what I did, Mom!

Seriously, my author copies of Grocery Gardening finally arrived. I also spied copies on the shelf at the Barnes & Noble in Annapolis. I hear they are on the shelves at other booksellers as well as the big box hardware stores.

I have already shipped off copies to my son in college, my parents and my brothers. I signed them just like a big-time author too.

You want a copy? Look up and right and click on the image to take you to the Cool Springs Press bookstore where you can get your own copy. Or you can wait a while and take your chances at a Grocery Gardening giveaway I’ll be holding in a few days.

But first, I just want to see this little stack of books on my desk for a little while longer.

    Hey congrats! I don’t visit you enough these days. Your title intrigues me and one can never have enough gardening and/or veggie cookbooks. I’ll check it out. I am captivated by the idea of growing my own food. More dreams than reality so far, but I’m getting better. Thanks for a book that looks like the kinda encouragement I need.

    Robin,
    Love the book (and the design)! Good recipes in here also. I grew up on Hot Wilted Lettuce…must try the spinach version.
    Thanks again!

  6. Curbstone Valley Farm Says:

    Congratulations! What a wonderful book concept. I’ve been surprised at my own changes in cooking and preparing fresh food, now that I try to only use foods that we’ve grown or are in season. I can grow it, and cook it…but I still need to work the food preservation part (beyond freezing) so we can enjoy the harvest for longer periods through the year. I may just have to investigate a copy of your book!

    Congratulations;-) I live just down the road from you, in northern Virginia. In fact, we probably are having similar weather right now. A monster snowstorm is on the way tomorrow…so, no grocery gardening here for a while! But I will look for your book!

It was nearly 100 degrees while I was working outside today. I have a sliver of wood in my big toe, poison ivy and am covered in bug bites. Sometimes I think I need an easier hobby.

Holy moly, it’s hot. I was just outside providing drought assistance to the suffering greenery. Now excuse me while I cower here in the air conditioning for a bit before making dinner.

It has been such a busy work week. I have been chained to the desk. I can’t wait until the weekend. I have tomatoes to stake, flowers to plant, garlic to harvest, strawberries to keep in control, some clipping and pruning and, who can forget, weeding!

My friend Helen Yoest, from Gardening With Confidence, will be here in about 10 days. I plan to pick her brain and get advice about some real problem areas here. I was hoping for more time to prepare for an esteemed guest, but that’s just not to be. She’ll have to take me as I am.

I hope you’re all keeping cool.

Robin

You can’t pick up the newspaper or turn on the television without hearing more about the Gulf Coast oil disaster.

The wildlife population will be devastated for years, perhaps decades, to come. You can help with the conservation, monitoring and aid to the birds by donating to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This is the top school and science center for birds in the U.S. and sponsor of many, many programs, including citizen scientist-type programs. If you cannot afford to donate, it’s a great place to just be informed or to get involved through volunteer activities you can do in your own back yard.

Tonight I am grateful for the internets.

Over dinner we were talking about blast-from-the-past music and then blast-from-the-past comedy. Harry and I explained how we would play stacks of 45s on the turntable to my 19-year-old son. And I remembered my parents’ Dick Newhart album and “Driving Instructor.”  And while we were talking about old comedy, who can forget, George Carlin’s “Seven Dirty Words?” Ah, the things I am teaching my 19-year-old son! Yes, I taught him about seven dirty words!

I am also grateful that the chickens had walkabout time without destroying my garden this afternoon.

And I am grateful for that arms and shoulders P90X workout, although I will be sore again tomorrow.

Live the dream,

Robin
