It's nice when you hear of your book 4200 miles away - a review from Alaska!

9. Congrats!!

Looks like some very good advice.. in your book.

I have had intermittent gardening experience and have become brave enough to try to grow tomatoes in a high latitude, high elevation location where it has been said this can't be done. So far, my three plants in a rudimentary hot house I got at a low-priced variety store (10mil mylar type) are looking pretty good and have several tomatoes in development and hopefully will ripen soon. It gets into the 30s at night lately so I have been using a couple techniques to keep them warm enough at night and seem to be succeeding so far! The seeds are from a company called "Seeds Trust" who have vegetable and herb seeds collected from all over the world, they have a high elevation/high latitude "bucket of seeds" that I got to try out. More seeds than I can plant in my tiny plot but some of the plants are doing well outside. The tomatoes are three varieties of "Siberian" tomatoes developed through cross pollination techniques for the geographic challenges of locations like mine. I've always had very successful crop in other locations but this Rocky Mountain location at 7K+ ft location is surely a challenge, can't get spinach to grow beyond a couple inches before it blooms out.

Anyway, love the tomatoes in your sig-line, and now I'll have to get your book. Thanks for writing it and letting us know about it.

Hope you have great success in your writing endeavors!
