City Kid Farm: June 2010
http://www.citykidfarms.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Former city slickers move to a quiet town and challenge themselves to create a microfarm with the help of their two boys. Using only the postage stamp lot surrounding the house, City Kid Farm is an experiment in urban agriculture. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. We at the farm want our followers to know that just because we've been getting down with the earth, it doesn't mean we don't appreciate the asthetic value of what can be produced by the human hand. You can tell our artist is hip 'cause he has a beard.

The Holdfast Seeker: My "Monsanto Sucks, Michelle Obama Rocks Organic Garden"
http://holdfastseeker.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-monsanto-sucks-michelle-obama-rocks.html
Saturday, May 16, 2009. My "Monsanto Sucks, Michelle Obama Rocks Organic Garden". I've been a little deprived of news lately but I caught a brief bit of the Daily Show. The other night and was appalled to learn that the big three agro. Business corporations are criticizing Michelle Obama for planting an organic garden. Apparently, Monsanto, Dow AgroSciences.

Our Garden Journal: Introducing Our Dogs -- Mister Dudley
http://thewiedersgarden.blogspot.com/p/introducing-our-dogs.html
Steve and Cathy's Garden Blog, Chronicling our Earth Friendly Garden Retreat. Introducing Our Dogs - Mister Dudley. May 31, 2010. Our very difficult winter - illness, flooding from the severe winter storms, downed trees - is finally behind us but the sad news continues. His playful antics and perfect imitations of fire and ambulance sirens will be deeply missed. His picture was taken two weeks ago. He was the fabulous big brother to Emily, Toughie, Katie, and Elizabeth. We're going to miss you, Big Guy.

Steve and Cathy's Garden Blog, Chronicling our Earth Friendly Garden Retreat. Saturday, July 11, 2015. Fire: A Potentially Deadly Consequence of the Drought.
