    I caught a bit of your show. While I intended to make my usual yearly pledge through the mail, the White’s Flower Farm certificate encouraged me to pledge by phone, a little more than usual but balanced by the book and certificate reward. Thanks, Faith, for all you do. I can’t wait to drive up to White’s and look around. That new tomato variety sounds intriguing. Love your show!

      Not sure. We’ll ask her and report back. She does loves birds, so it would be fitting 😉
