Censorship is what is ugly.
One should not protest so strongly and so erroneously.
Freedom of speech is a good thing, a pointing out what is behind something is nothing to become angry about.

Although the benefits of eating the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables are clear, with studies showing the likelihood of reduced risks of diseases, most of Americans still d… Continue

- Hi Chris,
I planted seeds two weeks ago and put them in my portable greenhouse. Only signs of life is 2 swiss chard. Shouldn't I be seeing signs of life by now? Any insight is helpful

- Aloha Chris!
This note may be a tad late in coming, but I wanted to thank you for the wealth of information you shared with me and my friends at the SCC garden a couple of weeks ago regarding grape vines, corn, etc. It was very helpful having you show me the different ways the various gardeners were growing, each with its pros and cons.
I've already passed on your handouts and their link to some interested parties.
Hope to see you at another event.
Have a great holiday season!
