Roger, will we see photos of your gardening efforts this year? You've been so busy, I wonder if you even have time to garden these days (*she says with a wink and light laugh*). Maine is such a beautiful area of the US. I'd love to get a glimpse of your little piece of the northeast if and when you get the chance. I think many of us would love to see how your Maine garden is growing this year. Best gardening wishes!

Hello Roger--this a great community site, and I loved the White House garden, such a timely project !!!! KGI is a wonderful idea who's time has certainly come.
Ian suggested that I email you and put forth the idea of a "Greenhouse for the White House" I know they will need one eventualy for all those hungry diplomats and I would love to help make it happen. THANKS for all your good work---Jerry

Roger, I'm putting together a beginner veggie growing class for my community here in Fayetteville, Arkansas and would love to show your "This Lawn is Your Lawn" video as the intro. Any way I could get a copy to download since I won't have internet access at the classroom site? All the best - thanks for a gem!

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
