Last week Helpful Husband told me I made him the best toasted tomato sandwich ever! The yellow and red variety Clare, is a long-keeper tomato from Saskatchewan (pictured above.) And Yes it is February and No, I am not a miracle grower. I saved the tomatoes from my fall harvest because I seriously wanted to see how long these long-keeper's would last. (Reports say they sometimes last until Easter but they are so good in salads and sandwiches I only have two left.)
Helping Gardener’s Grow, the podcast, is LIVE! Listen to interviews with growers and gardeners across North America who build soil, add herbs to flower pots, grow citrus in Canada and grow the world’s most expensive spice. In every podcast we talk about food, include a question selected by our producer Robyn and highlight the lesson learned in our Gardening Gold segment at the end.
To ask a question about the current or past episodes send an email to askdonna@donnabalzer.com and producer Robyn Buchanan will select the questions answered weekly.
To help me help you grow go online and subscribe. listen and leave a comment.
My mission is to help gardeners grow and beginners blossom and I am always looking for ways to spread the message. The new Podcast means you can listen and learn while you drive or garden and that is just so much fun!
WHY DOES SOIL MAKE YOU HAPPY?
I love this article about soil microbes making you happy. Little folks (Like Arlo above) bring so much dirt into the house and into their body just because they play outside so much. Research shows dirt makes us happy. And that's a good thing. READ MORE HERE.
GARDENER'S GROW!
Thanks for subscribing to this newsletter and (hopefully) my new podcast.
You have probably noticed I am the Brand Ambassador for BC Greenhouse Builders and they have decided to support the new podcast in its fledgling stages so I thank them for that. It takes hours to produce each episode and I thank Robyn for her help with the editing. If you want more info about growing in a home greenhouse make sure to let Angela at BC Greenhouse Builders know you heard about it from me! I have two BC greenhouses and they are amazing (See Image Above.)
PS I may be speaking in a community near you this spring. Check out my topics and locations in Sasktachewan, Alberta and BC RIGHT HERE.

PS If you read this far and want some of my Clare tomato seed, shown at the top, send me an email now. I don't have a ton of extra seeds but I will send out seeds to the first five replies. Everyone else can buy plants at my annual spring plant sale on May 10 or order seeds from Saskatchewan!
