The oyster mushroom gets its name from its cap which, some say, resembles an oyster. The stem of the oyster mushrooms is perhaps more distinct; it unfurls something like one of those old-time paper lady's fans. The oyster mushroom has...

Vegetable Garden Talk and Book Signing

Hello Readers!

For those of you who live in the San Francisco Bay Area or in the Sonoma wine country, I am sure you have had occasion to vist Alta Tingle's The Gardener, a wonderful garden store.

Alta recently invited me to present a summer vegetable garden how-to talk at two of her stores, the Berkeley and Healdsburg stores. She also asked me to answer as many questions as you all might have (the ones I know the answers to) and to sign copies of my growing guide THE KITCHEN GARDEN GROWERS' GUIDE. This will be fun!

If you are close by, please come and visit on two consecutive Saturdays, May 2 (this week) in Berkeley and May 9 in Healdsburg. The time both Saturdays is 11 am to 1 pm.

Each day I will be giving you the low-down and how-to get your kitchen vegetable and herb garden growing. These talks are always fun and I always learn something from more than one of you! It will be great to visit with you and find out what you are growing this season.

And if you haven't been The Gardner, well, that's a treat in and of itself!

Click here to see The Gardener website and get directions to both locations. Click on the Stores button. (There's plenty of good eats near both stores, so make a half-day of it!)

You can also find my book at Alta's San Francisco store at The Ferry Building marketplace.

Once again:

Saturday May 2, Berkeley store, 1836 Fourth Street, (510) 548-4545.

Saturday May 9, Healdsburg store, 516 Dry Creek Road (707) 431-1063.

Thanks Readers!

It was only fitting that a few days before Thanksgiving my much labored over new book THE KITCHEN GARDEN GROWERS' GUIDE: A Practical Vegetable and Herb Garden Encyclopedia was published.

Over the past few years thousands and thousands of readers have visited HarvestToTable.com from all around the world: name a country and you are out there reading and writing in. Of course, most of you are in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain--but I have to say the two summer-squash-growing brothers in Tibet who emailed and the delightful school girl working on a class project sowing runner beans in South Africa are counted among my favorites. I appreciate all of your efforts to make this site better--your comments and questions keep it going and led in great part to this new book.

When I first sat down to write THE KITCHEN GARDEN GROWERS' GUIDE the idea was to bring into one volume all of the answers to questions I and you have asked about vegetable, herb, and small fruit gardening-kitchen garden growing. While trying to keep up with those of you in the middle of spring planting in Australia and at the very same time hearing from those of you in the midst of fall harvest in Iowa, the book came together page by page, carrot by tomato. It took some time, but here it is. Thanks for reading and thanks for asking for this book! Take it into the garden with you and let me know what you think. Many, many thanks and keep on growing!
