Food-security for the poor is the greatest challenge before the world. The problem is going to worsen in the future, what with the adverse impact of climatic changes on agricultural activities and the ever increasing greed of the market to produce food for profit. It is in this context, the contribution of our group towards addressing hunger and poverty through Micro Farm programmes is commedable. Wish many concerned persons would join us in the near future. I am interested to learn from members of this group who are are working among the Latino families in the US.

let's try that again. I posted this blog entry today, I think it's very applicable.

KG Day - Help us choose a date!

Kitchen Garden Day has traditionally been celebrated at the end of August which is a great time for gardens in temperate, northern climates but not a great time for many other gardeners around the world (e.g. August is winter in the southern hemisphere, monsoon season in India, too hot for many gardeners in southern states, etc.).

We're exploring the possibility of changing the date to the spring and would like your input. Please answer our poll here.

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
