Wow! The winter is passing quickly. It doesn’t seem like it when I look out the window and see a good 12 inches of now on the ground – very unusual for this part of Ohio! It got down to -7 overnight. Brrrr!!! But Square Foot Gardening classes are starting this week. Friday I’m speaking for the Newark Garden Club and next week I’ll be at the Spring Hill’s Homeschooler’s Sessions of Sharing, and Upper Arlington.

Mel Bartholomew told me that Paul Nagy, a certified teacher in Middletown, has hooked Mel up with an Amish builder here in Ohio who is developing SFG boxes that need no tools to assemble! I’m hoping they’ll be available soon.

Mel also has OFFICIAL Mel’s Mix in bags that will be available this coming gardening season. The problem is that the minimum order is 1 pallet, which is 50 bags! Paul and I are working together to get orders to fill a truckload – 20 pallets. Between garden centers and personal orders, I think we can do it! The bags are 2 cu.ft. and I think retail for around $16. Let me know if you’d like to be included.

More classes and events in March. I’ll get my calendar updated soon. If you would like me to come speak to your organization or group of friends, drop me an email at Cassie@CassiesStuff.com.
