I’m dancing in my seat! This was AWESOME, Chris. Loved every 3.57 second of it and can’t wait to hear more about the event. Every Saturday morning we get up to watch “P.” on our local PBS. Will we be seeing you one of these mornings????
Possibly! We had a great time filming this. Such a great joy to visit with Gardeners from around the country, taste local cuisine and take in the beauty that is Moss Mountain Farm. Allen is a most gracious host.
