AN URBAN PLOT: Scientist warns of dire consequences
http://anurbanplot.blogspot.com/2010/06/scientist-warns-of-dire-consequences.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Scientist warns of dire consequences. Ignoring potential non-target detrimental side effects of any chemical, especially used as heavily as glyphosate (Monsanto's RoundUp herbicide), may have dire consequences for agriculture such as rendering soils infertile, crops non-productive, and plants less nutritious. To do so might well compromise not only agricultural sustainability, but also the health and well-being of animals and humans.". Read more on this warning here. Chronicles on...

AN URBAN PLOT: Change the World: Go Organic
http://anurbanplot.blogspot.com/2010/06/change-world-go-organic.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. Change the World: Go Organic. If you do just one thing to change the world, go organic.". Going organic is the single most critical (and most DOABLE) action we can take right now to stop our climate crisis. Every acre of ground that's farmed organically has the potential to pull thousands of pounds of warming greenhouse gases out of our air.". Organic farming is a real, attainable solution to our current global climate crisis! Gloria, Dakota Garden. June 14, 2010 at 7:03 PM. Incide...

AN URBAN PLOT: HazMat on the Farm
http://anurbanplot.blogspot.com/2010/03/hazmat-on-farm.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. HazMat on the Farm. I found this image along with an article called How to Protect Yourself from 7 Food-System Threats. At Rodale.com. It is a piece that obviously talks about what you can do. It is a great article and I urge you to read it, ask questions and implement their suggestions wherever you can. I guess what struck me the most, was this image! I just had to share it with you. Look at those hazardous materials suits. At first look, does it say farming to you? Thats why Im ...

AN URBAN PLOT: February 2010
http://anurbanplot.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. No one Can Really Know the Price We Will Pay. Over the last few posts, I have focused on reasons to avoid genetically modified food. The reasons are many and I for one am convinced that the path we are on with GMOs in our food supply and environment is the wrong path. I believe that they are harmful in more ways than we can ever imagine. I encourage you to continue to inform yourself and to speak out and take action. Check out the website for GM Watch.

ramblings of a bare-faced gardener: February 2010
http://bare-faced-gardener.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a bare-faced gardener. Gardening, foraging, food and other things I’m interested in. Magazine arrived today with a picture of snowdrops on the front cover. There are apparently 19 species of Galanthus. 8211; and I think mine are possibly G elwesii var. elwesii,. Last spring, all ten bulbs flowered. I searched and searched for signs of them and suddenly spotted them in two of the four locations – and they have obviously multiplied. A gardening friend who belongs to the MGS. Guy Meets Garden &...

Ramblings of a bare-faced gardener. Gardening, foraging, food and other things I’m interested in. Auprès de mon arbre …. Another day picking olives yesterday. It was about 3°C but no wind and the sound carried through from the neighbouring olive grove where there were a couple of other people, up ladders and heads among the olives. One of the pickers sang a beautiful rendition of this Georges Brassens song : Aupès de mon Arbre. This is always an odd sight : an olive tree (with olives) covered in snow!

Ramblings of a bare-faced gardener. Gardening, foraging, food and other things I’m interested in. We’ve been watching the horrific news of the Australian bushfires in.

Google news from Reuters saying that the arsonists are likely to be young males. I’m sure that most people would not be surprised by that! This is a link to BBC News eye-witness accounts.

Ramblings of a bare-faced gardener. Gardening, foraging, food and other things I’m interested in. Busy doing other things at the moment, but I had to post this …. Happy Monday, everyone! Posted by bare-faced gardener. Make a Smilebox greeting. Posted by bare-faced gardener. I now soak all my seeds in warm water overnight to see if they are still viable – those that sink should be good, those that float probably have nothing living left in them. I am very sad to see that some. Posted by bare-faced gardener.
