Hello Gardening Friends–
My 2015 seed list is now posted and can be viewed on and downloaded from my website www.caroldeppe.com. (I’m posting the list instead of sending it as an email attachment so I can update it if we run out of anything.) There are a number of exciting new introductions as well as new listings. We are accepting orders now and will start shipping in mid-February. The ordering deadline is May 31.
The Tao of Vegetable Gardening: Cultivating Tomatoes, Greens, Peas, Beans, Squash, Joy, and Serenity (Chelsea Green, Jan. 2015) is now available. For a table of contents, reviews, and slide show see www.caroldeppe.com. I ask two favors of you. If you plan to order the book on-line, please order it using my link to the vendor of your choice so I can get a referral fee. If you use my link and the associated discount code and order directly from Chelsea Green, you’ll get 35% off on everything at their website. And you’ll be supporting an independent, employee-owned publisher-the publisher that started specializing in organic and sustainable everything 20 years before it became popular, and that has the most extensive and best list in the field. The second favor I ask: If you like the book, please post a review on Amazon. Even short reviews of just a sentence or two really help. (And I read every one.)
Upcoming speaking events: I’ll be speaking at the February 7 Insights Into Gardening event in Corvallis (OR) on The Eat-All Greens Garden. June 6-7 I’ll be giving four workshops at the Mother Earth News Fair in Albany (OR) on The Eat-all Greens Garden, The Do-It-Yourself Seed Bank, Gardening in an Era of Wild Weather and Climate Change, and Growing Your Own Cornbread, Polenta, and (all-corn) Pancakes, Cakes, and Cookies. I’ll also be speaking at the Northwest Permaculture Convergence in Eugene (OR) in August.
Please pass this announcement along to your garden list and to anyone else you think might be interested.
Wishing you a great 2015 gardening season,
Carol Deppe
