Master Gardener

Peter Bockenthien » Saturday, November 22 2008

I can't wait start the Colorado Master Gardener Program in late January 2009. I'm so excited, especially having been turned down for 8 jobs this year. I'll be happy to focus on becoming a Master Gardener: it gets me outside and off the computer (and off my butt).

But while I'm on my butt I plan to contribute by helping Abbondanza sell seeds and to grow new web skills so that I can have the plant database that I want: look up your favorite vegetables by latin name, hardiness, type (perennial, etc) and pest management.

Eat Local!

Clean your air, land and water much quicker by eating locally grown organic foods. By doing so one practices democracy in its highest form.

A great source of heirloom seeds can be found at Seed Savers Exchange.

Dr. Mercola routinely gives you the lowdown on what's healthy and what's not. I don't buy any of his products, just read up on interesting articles and videos.
