Thanks for a well-written story. I somehow can relate to this because I,too, loves gardening. I am thinking of doing thing as you guys did!

I might have missed some of your blogs. You say you’re finishing with Growing Communities – what’s next?
Perhaps you’d like to come and help me with my WordPress blog – I haven’t told anyone about it because there’s hardly anything there yet, and I’m finding it incredibly difficult. A huge effort produced the artichoke, which is called a blavator, or gravator (I have been reprimanded for not understanding the difference).

Ah what bliss to find these recipes again. I knew that my best dressings recipes came from you but I couldn’t remember where or when. I’m so pleased to find these pages!

When is your recipe book coming out? If not, why not? I’ll be the first in line at the book store.

Sara
As you know I’ve moved to New York. Do you know about Brooklyn Grange, a huge rooftop market garden in Long Island City? I love your blog and will recommend it to them. They probably know about Hawkwood and vice versa. Real market gardens, real jobs, growing and actually selling food for people to eat! They have a weekly market in the building’s foyer, but mostly sell to restaurants.

Our soil is pretty neutral with loads of compost added. Of course we are on good London clay too…What is your soil like?

I picked up some seeds from red orache in Ireland and have planted them them in my garden on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Any suggestions about soil types. Somewhere it ways that it does well on salt marshes and deserts…..
thanks for lovely pictures

Birmingham Ladywood Constituency’s GEML project (Grow It, Eat It, Move It, Live It) has just finished clearing some derelict land next to my house and twelve local residents have set up a grow site to raise our own crops in the inner city. This is the start of our first season so I am looking around for similar projects in order to share success stories and get advice when things go wrong.
