Cynthia,
Thanks very much for the most interesting and helpful class - Early Spring Veg. Gardening. Class length provided ample time for both gardening overview and plant- specific details. I look forward to several future classes.

Cynthia _ reporting in from the Jan 31st tomato starting class. I split a flat with my friend and didn't even water them for two weeks. Now I am innundated with 68 large healthy tomato plants!! Yikes. The only one that didn't germinate was the fuzzy white peach one. Am following your instructions to the letter. The biggest plants went into 4 " pots about 3 weeks ago and are now going into gallon pots, the others are about 2 weeks behind. They've been in a very sunny window, with fan and are really, really happy. But I need a cart to take them in and out side -- or a gardener!! Thanks so much. Suzanne in Scotts Valley

Thank you again for such a wealth of information yesterday at your Summer Vegetable workshop. Your class was probably the best class I've ever attended.

I just want to say that Cynthia has great classes. I'm a veteran of many, and look forward to the bee keeping class. Following Cynthia's advice has produced great results this far, and I'm looking forward to a great tomato harvest this year! Thanks Cynthia for all the knowledge you share!

It was a treat to hear Cynthia speak about growing tomatoes at the Sunset Celebration Weekend. She’s passionate and knowledgeable about growing the best tomatoes possible. We learned a lot including some very interesting tips, like using aspirin and fish heads! I’m looking forward to Tomato Masters and other classes, to learn more.
