Dec 28, 2009, They have begun to arrive!

Saturday's mail brought the new Jung Seed and R.H. Shumway's catalogs. Yeah! There is nothing better than flipping through the pages of veggies and flowers with a cup of hot chocolate while it snows outside.

I also visited the Jungseed.com website and discovered that is has had a facelift. It is easy to navigate, but I noticed that there were more than a few items without photos. Image Not Available I believe it said. Lets hope that this is just a side effect of the site upgrade and that they will be added soon.

Nov 26, 2009, 2010 PA Garden Expo

According to Karen Rousche at Journal Publications the PA Garden Expo has been scheduled for February 26 - 28th, 2010 at the PA Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. Tickets are $12.50 each or you can get the Multi-Day Pass for $18. Children under 12 are admitted free.

They have updated the website and while it looks like the Expo will be a bit scaled down, when compared to 2008, it will be fun and informative as always.

Oct 29, 2009, PA Garden Expo

The 2009 Pennsylvania Garden Expo was canceled. The organizers felt that due to the recession the show would lack the vendors and attendance needed to be successful. For months their website PAGardenExpo.org had a notice about the cancellation.

Recently the website appears to be back up. Inviting and colorful, it outlines exhibits, sponsors and special events. Please be aware that this is the 2008 schedule!

They have not yet posted 2010 information. We have contacted them and are waiting for an official response.

I will keep you posted.
