I enjoyed your web site. The "opium" dialogue was amazing. I'm amazed at how people can live to adulthood and remain so ignorant. Are they living in bubbles?

Hi Derek,
I would like to add you to my friends, just to remember you. I enjoyed very much reading your blog, it is great, you are doing good work there. I also watched the circumcision video, well I didn't enjoy this! I couldn't watch it with the sound on and this was not only because my 10 mo old baby boy was sleeping in the carrier on my back. Is it true that this is the norm in the US?, how can one do such a cruel thing to so small and fragile little babies, that is a crime. Another example of human arrogance!
My little baby was born at home with a midwife, he is already diaper free, although one of us gets peed on at least once a day, it dries quickly though ! We live part time in a motorhome, too, I think it is real fun and so practical with a small baby.
Best wishes to you and family
V.

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.

Hi Penelope I'm glad you're feeling good and no longer wilted. I will have to try the cracked wheat idea. It sounds good. Glenn

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.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

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

Hi, I'm starting to put together a few guidlines on using the discussion forum on here.

I would be happy to hear any comments you may have.  This is very much a work in progress so plese feel free to ask me to add anything you think is needed.

I don't want to make our community hide bound by rules and regulations but I think that, as the community has grown, some explanation of what is expected is needed.
