I have thought that SO many times! I actually even googled it to see if she had! I went on Amazon also.
You could make a mint! ...... and help SO many people!

Trudi, I was surprised that you hadn't yet.

I have been after her to write that book for almost 6 years.
One of these days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigh.

Can't you just see it---on the back cover---Trudi in her winter hat! (Not knockin the hat, my brother got me one for Christmas and I love it.)

I'd agree only wintersowing is such a simple concept that the book would be awfully short!

Clumsygrdner,

She could use the format I see in alot of books I look through, she could describe, the How, Why , What and Who it would work for ETC... That in of itself wouldnt be that long, but then she also could describe actual flowers Veggies Herbs that work via the method. That could take several 100 pages depending on what would be listed...

Hey GREAT idea! Why not You have it already started on line!! You will kick yourself for not doing it, so go for it. Right now... get started!! (smile) Can't wait to see it in the stores.

I'm all for Trudi writing a book too. Let's take a vote! ;-) It's true that the concept is simple but look how many of us didn't know about it before coming here! lol Like was mentioned above, you could stretch it out. I'm sure lots of authors who wrote books ended up with a lot more than they thought they would. If we didn't know about the wintersowing method before finding this forum, chances are there are a whole lot of gardeners out there who still don't know about it and would benefit from a book. Some people would rather read a book than go online.

I don't know if it would work - it might be way TOO long!!

Who better to edit it than fellow WSers?

Problem being - we know all the information is Good information! We'd have such a hard time cutting portions out!

:D

Ok all you winter sowers stand up and on 3

WE WANT A BOOK.

WE WANT BOOK
WE WANT.......

Goooo Trudi!!!!!!!!! That would be so great!! A chapter on how it started, a chapter on how to do it, a chapter on different containers, saving seeds, successes, us....... hee hee hee I would definately buy one so let me know when it is out!

I vote for the book! :D

Just sitting back and smiling...
I have confidence that Trudi will always do what she deems important...I can trust her on that.

All I can say to her is "thank you from every corner of my heart". I don't think I'd be into gardening even nearly this much if she hadn't shared WSing with us.

Linda

I for one am surprised she doesnt have one. Not everybody gets their info off of the internet. Trudi you really need to do this.
Jill

Do it, Trudi! We can all gift someone with a copy!

I'm sure the book idea has occurred to Trudi. I wouldn't be surprised if she had one up her sleeve right now, maybe looking for printers, publishers....

Karen

Write a book. Delegate tasks. Ask us to write parts of it, provide photos, or be an editor. I hope you know that you'll get lots of help from us. Set some goals to get it done. We all want a book. :)

Wendy

LOL! But can I trust myself.....hmmm.

Think like Nike, and Just Do It!

Think of peer pressure....you know you want to!!! Everyone else is doing it!

Think of how many more people you could reach.

Think of how many more lives you could change for the better.

You are an inspiration to us all, and we could help if you want....

Hee hee hee
How's that for some peer pressure?

Yeah! All the cool kids are doing it Trudi!...lol.

You would earn a fortune even is only we bought it!

I want it in comic book style and with Trudi in a fab Wonder Woman outfit! You go girl!

"Wintersowing...the graphic novel"....lol.

Trudi works very hard, and you just never know what she has up her sleeve....unless of course she is wearing short sleeves. Then you pretty much know she just has arms in there, lol.

GGG

I'll buy that!

I'd like to pre-order too.
Robin

I hope that Trudy doesn't become so busy with her worldwide book signings that she'll forget all about us! I wonder what actress they'll get to play Trudy in the movie? ;-)

Yikes, I spelled your name right the first time but not in this last post! :-O Sorry about that, Trudi!
Cathy

Don't forget:

WinterSown: The Musical!

I think there should be pictures of "our jugs" (hee hee hee) in it. lol

lol,gardenluv......

sorry, couldn't help it.

Glad you said it,made me laugh just as much as bakemoms "gardeners gone wild"...lol...

WinterSown: The Musical.

Well, there have many more bizarre on Broadway, so anything is possible ;-) Hmmm...it could also be done as a Tschaikowsky-like ballet or an Ice Capades event with Circ du Soleil producing the show ;-) (way cool)

There is a solution to "the book".

It must be collaborative work because I only set the ball rolling--it is winter sowers who expanded and propelled the method forwards, it must be downloadable in pdf, it must be online as webpages.

The concept of WS has always been "doing it your way". I would like to build on that and designate a webpage per FAQ. The FAQ text and illustration will be used, but a WSer or WST (Winter Sower Team) will show the technique and their own variations using their own words and pictures (pictures; not everyone has a camera, but some people can draw or illustrate and scan an image to disk).

For many obvious reasons this cannot be worked on in a public venue; I will have to set up a wiki and I've set up a chatroom for now.

To use the chatroom you click on the link.

Where it says:

NickName ~ Put your name in the box (I suggest you use your gw name so we can all reocgnize each other.)

Server ~ Do not change this info.

Channel ~ #wintersown (no caps)

Here is a link that might be useful: #wintersown

I just want to add that the chatroom is there 24/7 and that if no one is there its a lonely place, but sometimes there will be a lot of people there and its busy. I do not have to be there for anyone to use it. You are not limited to only talking about WS--just use it as you will.

I have e-mailed Trudi so what I am saying ties in with her interest in developing this idea. Whatever comes of this endeavor, I definitely want to help so those of you who will be consulting on this, add my name to the list and I will do the same with yours.
(Now once this turns into a musical or Ice Capades event, you will need someone more musically talented than I am!)

using their own words and pictures (pictures; not everyone has a camera, but some people can draw or illustrate and scan an image to disk).

I just want to clarify this; both photos and illustrations (of whatever form) can be used as a visual. Everypone does it their own way to achieve success--that is theme of all FAQs.

ooh, a wiki, is that a hawaiian hut you are inviting us to?
;0) Actually, I know what a wiki is, kinda, but I bet many or most don't.

A wiki is a collaorative input project. Wikipedia is probably the largest wiki service online.

Here is a link that might be useful: This is WikiHow...likely the place I choose.

This is a MUCH better wiki for use.
