The Southern Hemisphere has moved into spring mode today as it is the 1st of September. Great, it has been a particularly cold winter this year and I am looking forward to the hotter weather as we go from spring to summer. It is also time to prepare the veggie garden for planting and the anticipation of a good crop. Late last season we tried out gherkins and gem squash, both was a success as we managed to harvest a small crop of gherkins and the squash flowered but the cold weather came too early. So they will definitely be planted again this year plus the normal beans, tomato’s, lettuce, beetroot, peppers, leeks, spring onions, spinach etc.

So, what has this all to do with marketing. Not much I suppose but it does keep me sane and gets me out there into the sunshine and open air. Plus of course it is good exercise and we get to eat good fresh veggies. What do you do to get away from the daily grind of trying to make an extra buck? Actually it is not a grind to me as I enjoy the challenge and the continues learning curve.

I have not done the opt-in page yet as a type of newsletter must also be developed and loaded into the autoresponder. Time is my problem, never enough and I am a bit senior so it does take me longer to learn how to do all of these complicated online “things”.

OK, you Northern Hemisphere folks, hope you are looking forward to a cold spell, sorry about that but our turn for summer. BRING IT ON.

Have a great day and keep that smile going.
