A visit to Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds

I had the pleasure of speaking at Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in Mansfield, Missouri over the weekend and it was amazing.

Jere Gettle has turned a bedroom hobby into an amazing company.

The two day Spring Planting Festival attracted over 7000 people and I got a chance to meet many of them.

I've posted a bunch of photos down below, but its was seeing Betty Dale again  that compelled me to make the video below. We met a few years ago when I visited the company and we just connected. She traded me some of her Cd's for a copy of Tomato Garlic Basil.

On this visit I walked into the mercantile building and it was like no time had passed. Betty and I have a connection, I hope you're as moved by this story as I was.

These are just some of the seeds I bought. Notice the dandelion seeds?

My friend Betty Dale sings "Bluebird" for me. Here daughter Teresa Bradley started to sing along.

Yours truly with the Gettles.
