I often find these days that I have to stop myself from ordering a swarm of bees to keep on the balcony and other such nonsense, so I am a bit scared to actually read this book - it might push me over the edge.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683655933935098511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201519373848137965.post-1542315347825085232008-07-03T11:07:00.000-04:002008-07-03T11:07:00.000-04:00I too have read Barbara's books...but not this one...I too have read Barbara's books...but not this one. I will check it out of the library and we can discuss it! I read the one about the cyotes and when I hear howling now, I have a different feeling of their importance in nature. <BR/>We are eating lettuce from our garden...with great expectations for eating huge mounds of corn on the cob and green beans!!

I enjoyed your maintenance man story!<BR/><BR/>When I lived in the inner city in Los Angeles I didn't want to eat anything grown within 100 feet of my house (freeways and train tracks) but I had access to great farmers markets. I too wonder what people can do when there is no access to fertile land and they can't move. Now I have a small garden on my very small plot of land--two terraces at the back. The English have been very creative about using narrow back 'gardens' and organizing allotments (their word for community gardens). I'd not heard of AVM before. I should put it on my reading list!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201519373848137965.post-21356381858072580512008-07-03T09:24:00.000-04:002008-07-03T09:24:00.000-04:00Very interesting review, and I am amazed at your l...Very interesting review, and I am amazed at your last statement. We certainly need to become more aware, and even though we are moving in that direction, we have so very far to go.<BR/><BR/>I will do some research about this book.

I read AVM twice - the first time a skim that did not do it justice and the second time a journey to later be shared with my green book club. <BR/><BR/>I love that you wanted to order heirloom turkeys! and the you wondered what the rest of us, who can't move to fertile farmland, are to do. Wonderful thoughts on a wonderful book. Thank you for sharing.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201519373848137965.post-18783457757833394932008-07-03T00:20:00.000-04:002008-07-03T00:20:00.000-04:00Debbie, if you could of only seen my first beginni...Debbie, if you could of only seen my first beginnings of a garden. Seeing that I worked full time for 10 years I did not have a life.<BR/>Now I decided to grow a garden. I hilled my potatoes tonight.<BR/>Asparagus? Ah!!! that takes time and patience as one tenaciously cares for each stalk.<BR/>While in Europe we ate asparagus every day. It's a favorite.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309206778329712547noreply@blogger.com
