Just a reminder that the Book Launch Party is coming up this Wed night at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Details can be found here.

The view on my deck is looking somewhat more inviting today. I did not take a photo but it is warmer and brighter with remnants of snow and ice.

Seedy Saturday

I had a table at Seedy Saturday over the weekend where I sold some books and t-shirts. The turnout was great and I got to meet a lot of people who visit the site. Thanks so much to everyone who came out and stopped by my table to say hi.

I regret that this year I was so busy I didn’t really get a chance to look around at the other booths. I didn’t buy one pack of seeds nor did I even glance at the seed trading table! Instead I gave away a stack of seeds. I did however have the presence of mind to pick up a half pound of worms for my vermicomposter. Yay for that.

Seeds and Keylimes

Today’s view out on my deck.

Well gang, it’s March which means it’s time to get on the seed situation. I’ve gone as far as to move some plants around and hook up the *super fancy* electric warming mat. My lemongrass LOVES it, making me feel a little guilty about replacing it with a tray of seeds. I have to admit that I really haven’t spent much time looking through seed catalogues. I looked through the Richters catalogue but only got as far as deciding that this year I would suck up the $15 price tag and buy that wasabi plant I talked myself out last year.

Now In Stores

The book is starting to make appearances in retail stores. I didn’t expect to see it so soon here in Canada but I was informed on Saturday night that some copies were spotted at Pages Books on Queen St. Of course I had to go see for myself! Check out the photos:

It IS Real

What an exciting day! Five fresh copies of the book arrived on my doorstep this morning. The book looks great and I’m excited to finally see it in print. Here are a few photos:

- Front of the book
- Here I am holding all five copies.

Here I am doing something strange to my neck while pretending to be a librarian reading aloud from the book.

I was so excited I even took the book out with me for lunch and posed with it at my favourite local cafe.
