Spooner Advocate- Springbrook Column, January 16, 2014

Good afternoon neighbors- Are you out there enjoying the warmer weather? It is amazing when we go up to 30 degrees that we have been at 30- and even colder! Its just amazing! It feels like I should put on my shorts and really appreciate the warmer weather. 

I would like to say a BIG thank you to all those that came out to the 1st annual seed swap held at the LCO Farm! I was so happy to meet each and every one of you! I was so happy to receive such great feedback about hosting such an event. It is so exciting that there are others out there that are just as interested in seeds as I am! Big thanks go out to those that brought seeds to swap, and those that gave me seeds to share with the 5 different gardens that I have had the privilege to plant on the different reservations! I am glad everyone came, and we will all be in touch soon.
