Pruning Tomatoes...what???

Fine Gardening, a fine magazine, sent me a newsletter about pruning tomatoes last week. Made me want to grab my pruning shears and head outside...which is what I plan to do, so I've got to make this short! Check it out: Pruning Tomatoes.

Summer Vegetable Garden Special

Today's the 2nd day of summer, and it's not too late to plant a veggie garden. In honor of this grand season, I'm offering a free 1/2 hour consultation (a $25 value) thru the 3rd of July. I will assess your site for the best vegetables, herbs and possibly, citrus trees. I will make recommendations regarding growing method (raised bed, square foot gardening) and irrigation system. If you like I can also help you get your small garden planted and coach you so you can have a successful gardening experience.
You can be eating your own tomatoes this summer but you need to act now!
