Hello!

Its time now to get started with sending newsletters every week for the 2009 season but before I really get going I need you to share your ideas for my newsletters and website.

Please click this link to email your comments to me. Or use imthefarmer@earthlink.net

Below are some questions that I thought of. Please answer any or all of them! Or feel free to tell me anything else that you feel would improve my newsletters, or website, or your At the Farm experience.

I'm always learning and trying to do everything "in search of excellence", as I'm sure you've often heard me say! Email your ideas to me and help me be the very best!

1. What do you like best about my newsletters?
2. Do you forward or show the newsletters to others?
3. Anything in the newsletters you would like to see more of? Less of?
4. You're a busy person, why do you take time to open my newsletters and read them?
5. Have you clicked the links to my website for:
Produce availability? Pride and Glory Garden Project? Past newsletters?
6. How could my newsletters be improved?
7. What do you like best about my website?
8. Anything you would like to see changed on the website?
9. How did you find out about my newsletter or my website?

Would you like to learn more about: soil prep, fertilizer, flower plant varieties, vegetable seeds, vegetable plants, flower perennials (how to divide and care for), rhubarb roots, strawberry or raspberry plants, soil for containers.

Have you looked at the Gardening Tutorials on my website? I have lots of planting and vegetable gardening know-how there! Thanks for taking the time to send me your opinion!

Enjoy Spring!
Donna

April Recipe - Wilted Leaf Lettuce

4 slices bacon, diced
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 bowl shredded leaf lettuce
2 chopped green onions
2 tablespoons sugar

Fry bacon until crisp. Add vinegar and water and heat. Add onions and leaf lettuce. Season with salt, pepper and the two tablespoons of sugar. Toss until wilted.

This is one of those 'almost lost' grandma's recipes! I get alot of inquiries for this.

Enjoy!
