If you did not know already: IE does not display this site correctly. This is because Microsoft has chosen not to follow internationally accepted web standards. Most importantly, IE is susceptible to viruses, and spyware; the monthly patch of Internet Explorer on a set monthly schedule allows 'blackhats' to release their evil-ware on the day after the patch, thus granting them 30 days to access your computer without challenge from Microsoft. Once their viruses and spyware are installed on your computer, you no longer control it. It may be used for illegal activity without your permission or even awareness. Such illegal activity has resulted in criminal prosecution. Even if acquitted, the defense itself may incur a significant financial burden. For these, and other, reasons I highly recommend a safer, more standards compliant browser such as Mozilla Firefox.

Or, at least, the uglier parts of it.

If you haven’t given any thought to becoming a Guerilla Gardener or, if you have thought about it but simply haven’t taken action, you really owe it to yourself to see how much beauty one guy with buck teeth has brought to Zurich, Switzerland.

No humus, no hubris

Blythe-CA-1936 I was in my garden one afternoon about 10 years ago when I had an epiphany(def 3). I realized that, while I might not have as much land as most wealthy men, I had every bit as much sky. In fact, I even had as much sky as Donald Trump and, while I didn’t have as much hair as he did, mine was combed.

GMO’s mean never having to say you’re sorry

Okay … just one rant this week and after that I’ll be good, I promise. Revelation 11:18 promises “ to bring to ruin those ruining the earth”. When it was penned, humans hadn’t 2% of the ability to ruin the earth that they now have … and exercise.

Yes, I am hot and worked up and this post is all writing with no pictures. This ain’t no sound bite. Sorry about that, but if you are short on brain cells at the moment, it’s okay to click the back arrow on you browser. That’s the one near the top of the page pointing to the left.

But first, I owe you a quote so that you can see the source of the steam:

Spring fling and motley

I just found this listing for a “Spring Fling” for gardening bloggers. It’s in Chicago (not too far from Detroit) but I, sadly, will not be able to attend due to prior committments.

If you are able to attend, perhaps you’ll fill us in on it with a comment or two when you get back.

In other news … I am now a regular blogger for Examiner.com, blogging, naturally enough, on the topic of urban organic gardening. I’m looking to add to my own gardening repetoire and to share those experiences and findings with others. This is starting to be fun … already I’ve earned almost 20 cents ;-) )))

I would appreciate a push up on Stumble, Reddit or any other social networking site you are a member of. Thanks in advance!

– Bill
