Else, I can hope you get a good video or pod cast of your travels.

P.S.

What's a good tomato for those watching their carbs? Thinking one which goes well with balsamic vinegar either with field greens or as a capri salad.

If you are aware of any big master gardener groups or arboretum/botanical gardens that host speakers, give me a plug - I've not had luck yet.

I am actually working on a webinar series (take some of the travel pressure off, do a bit more from the comfort of my office and laptop!) Also busy at work on book 3.

The tomato you describe would be a more tart tasting, lower sugar variety - a yellow early Russian variety (whoops - are they now to be shunned! ha ha) Azoychka - also a few of our short growing dwarf varieties fit the bill....drop me a DU mail with your mailing address and I can get some seeds off to you.

My daughter grew tomatoes successfully in Abilene last summer from plants I mailed to her!

Will be sending you the snail mail shortly.

Though I'm not connected with them. Here are a few things which might be of use for your other request...

A bunch of local gardening groups (Austin area)

Also, this guy is very well connected and might be able to offer some advice.

can I order some seeds from you? I want to try the little wild type coyote one for sure.

My wife and I are driving X country in May/June - not sure of our route yet.

If you have ideas on MG groups, arboretum, etc - that's who I look to for invites.

Seeds - sure - DU mail me your snail mail address and what you want.

I wonder if the Tucson Botanical Garden or maybe Native SeedSearch would be interested. I will send a couple emails.
