On Wednesday, February 22, I was honored to have my short story, The Grape Fields, read on Valley Writer's Read, Valley Public Radio, KVPR, Fresno. What a blast to hear someone else read my words.
I called Don Weaver at KVPR and thanked him, and also Ms. Lawson, the talented reader who brought my story to life. I was sad to learn that next year they will be cutting down on the stories chosen to be aired and would re-run some of the past contributions. Valley Writers' Read is a great place to get your foot in the door and earn credits for future references. Valley Public Radio deserves our support and I encourage all of you to tune in every chance you get.
Now, back to the garden. I have my tomatoes in and have just purchased my strawberry plants. I waited so I could get the variety I wanted. When we grew strawberries commercially, we grew the Chandler and Pajaro varieties. I've never been able to get the Pajaro in six-paks, only the Chandler. After all these years, I'm looking forward to walking out my door and pick fresh vegetables and fruits. My peach, and nectarines are fully in bloom, as is one of my apricots. One of my apricots has not fully recovered from a bumper crop that I didn't thin properly. The blooms on it are still sparse. I'm not too worried yet. I still have dried apricots in the freezer.
