Micki in Kansas gets a blue ribbon for her work in establishing her seed catalog, Skyfire Garden Seeds. The photos are two tomatoes Skyfire offers, Earl of Edgecomb and Adelia (top).
She writes: "I have a very, very small company - a labor of love rather than a large business - just one person (with my husband's help), working in my spare time after my regular job. I'm devoted to preserving heirloom vegetables and will continue to grow out as many as I can. I also enjoy communicating with other gardeners."
Micki also wrote to me: "I'm amazed at the sudden increase in catalog requests in the last week! I hope it is not just people growing food because of the economy, meaning that I hope people really check out how to grow plants, so they succeed."
Micki is also modest. Skyfire's print catalog is 14 newsprint pages, and has over 125 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, plus other vegetables, flowers, and herbs, PLUS several mouthwatering recipes for all your produce. You can download a full catalog and order online at:
Micki receives another blue ribbon in the Animals category for her promotion of guinea hogs, "a very rare breed of pig which are in danger of becoming extinct." Guinea hogs are much smaller than a full size production breed, making them ideal for the small homestead. To learn more about them:
