Spring is right around the corner. The weather here in West Michigan this past December and so far in January has been down right balmy. For us hardy Michigan folk some sunshine and temperatures in the 30’s and 40’s gets us giddy and ready to garden! In anticipation of spring 2012 P Allen Smith will join me on my radio show Saturday January 7 to talk about his new book Seasonal Recipes from the Garden.

If you want to break away from your seed catalog reading and dreaming you can come out to hear him speak at the DeVos Place here in Grand Rapids on Wednesday January 11 at 3 PM.
