The politics of pesticides and growing French wine grapes in 5 paragraphs...awesome. This was a very informative article about growing organic wine grapes...wait, no it wasn't. You know, one could post about 5-10 types of articles like this every day. It doesn't help anyone here with their garden, though.

One can only hope and pray a Politician or two will wake up and realize what "really" matters and start helping to educate the public (Floridians) about saving our state. But hey, most of them just want green to line their pockets and that's the bottom line of what matters to them. Someone could make up a letter. Everyone prints and signs on their own and mails to local representative and to Governor and anyone else with "clout". Mailing individually would make more of a impact and keep the issue fresh as the letters keep rolling in. There is enough of us here that we could get people to take notice. Newspaper articles should be written News stories should be done. The veil should be lifted and reality laid out. Heck, we could even make a iron-on for t-shirts. You can buy kits now to make your own on computer and print out. "Rain Barrels For Florida", "AntiSod", "Conserve Water for Life" , "Gardener's Against Thirsty Lawns" , "Water Police", "Recycler's For Life", "Compost For Peace" "Newly Endangered: Florida" , "Florida: The Next Dust Bowl" ...and I'm sure you could come up with lots more.

What a great read! Thanks so much for sharing. I have a friend who lives in a small town north of here. He doesn't follow Chris' strict protocol, but he does occasionally help himself to plants from abandoned property. I'm off to read the blog and do some shopping. ;)

Sindely ... you don't have to go to the bad neighborhood ... it sends hit men out to find you. ============= http://www.proofpoint.com/threatinsight/posts/malware-in-ad-networks-infects-visitors-and-jeopardizes-brands.php "Malvertising attacks use online advertising channels to infiltrate malware into the computers of unsuspecting users by embedding malicious code within legitimate advertisements on trusted websites. " "Without having to click on anything, visitors to the impacted websites may be stealthily infected with the CryptoWall 2.0 ransomware. Using Adobe Flash, the malvertisements silently âÂÂpull inâ malicious exploits from the FlashPack Exploit Kit.
