"Water is the matrix of culture, the basis of life." - Vandana Shiva, Water Wars

Dear Organic Gardeners,

Nothing is more essential to life than water. Now that the heat of summer has arrived, gardeners everywhere are thinking about how best to provide their plants with just the right amount of this precious resource. This month, Steve Peters runs down some basics about irrigation, and we provide some useful tips on saving water in the garden. We also review Vandana Shiva's latest book, Water Wars, which lends a global perspective on this critical issue as does Jennifer Heath's fascinating account of traveling in Afghanistan to deliver seeds and help to restore water to drought stricken agricultural areas.

As the growing season gets into high gear, you can feel the excitement as Jordan Rainwater (Farm Report) and Micaela Colley (From the Field) witness the coming to life of hundreds of Seeds of Change seed varieties at our Research Farm and at the farms of our seed and trial growers.

We'd like you to feel the excitement of growing more varieties too. So to inspire you to maximize your garden's diversity this summer, we've included some ideas for succession and late-season planting. As an added incentive to keep on sowing, we've come up with a special offer on selected Seeds of Change varieties. Create you own collections, buy 10 packs or more and save 30% off our regular prices.

Finally, to keep your garden growing strong this year, we're happy to introduce Organic Gem, a unique, fish-based, liquid fertilizer in sizes from 1 pint to 5 gallons.

To Summer's Bounty,
