"The hardest part of the job for me is seeing the real need and the desire of people to work and make things better for themselves and for the environment, then having to tell them 'sorry the money's not there'." - Florence Reed, Founder, SHI | |
Dear Organic Gardeners,
Spring is making its inexorable journey northward, the snow has mostly melted away and for many the joyous work of gardening has begun in earnest. Sunny windows and greenhouses are filling up with flats of tomato and pepper starts. Garlic pokes its first leaves through deep soggy mulch. Cold frames and cloches reveal wintered-over salad greens awakening to the lengthening days and warm sun. To be in the garden, hands in the soil, welcoming the first signs of life, is a welcome antidote to the ubiquitous news of distant conflicts.
In this issue, we have two stories of hope. Andrew Jones takes us on his personal permaculture journey that found him rebuilding a refugee camp in Macedonia followed by helping to reclaim an abandoned 1500 acre army facility in Louisiana. I also relate my own journey to Central America to witness (and photograph) the amazing work being done there by Sustainable Harvest International with founder, Florence Reed.

Jordan Rainwater gets us up to date on what's going on at our Research Farm and Steve Peters and I provide some handy tips on direct seeding and transplanting, including helpful charts detailing planting sequences and germination temperatures of direct-seeded varieties. Micaela Colley reports in from the field for the first time with news from our Bulk Seed for market growers. And along with some interesting news about organic food, nutrition, and GMOs, we present a short article by Lee Reich Ph.D. which outlines the philosophy put forth in his wildly popular new book Weedless Gardening.
Grow gardens!
