Thanks much. I didn't think about the fact that of course the onions need the sunshine on them, and the broc will shade them. So I'll just keep to growing lettuces in the onion bed. A brag: the garlic crop I harvested last year - about 70 bulbs - were all grown from the cloves from the year before. Looks like I fixed the preferences page - thank you. I would like to show a pic of our root cellar with all the lovely garlic braids hanging there (braided by me...). How might I do that? Thanks again.

Update...I got mine to change just fine. First I got a message in RED that the email address was already in use in the GW system. I must have used it at some time or another with another GW user name. Then I tried using another email address. Then I got a RED message requiring me to fill in my First and Last Names. Once I filled those in, it allowed me to update just fine. I'd suggest you trying it again, watching for any messages that appear in red. Sue...rbb

The criticism of this finding is that the control group was simply too small to allow such an observation to be made with any certainty. And they have not conducted, or at least not presented, the standard statistical tests which would allow they or us to determine whether the results were the outcome of pure blind chance." http://arstechnica.com/science/2012/09/anti-gmo-researchers-used-science-publication-to-manipulate-the-press/ "Any journalist that wanted to receive an advance copy was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving one. That agreement prohibited the outlet from sharing the results with any outside experts before the embargo lifted. In other words, if a press outlet wanted to be one of the first to cover the story, it would have to run the story without having any experts sanity check the paper." "The embargo lifted during a live press conference from the researchers, hosted in London in cooperation with the Sustainable Food Trust. The SFT conveniently had a press release prepared; a release claiming that the research was "supported by independent research organization, CRIIGEN." However, this neglected to note that the paper's lead author, Eric Seralini, is on the CRIIGEN board." Conflict of interest, and keeping the newspapers from doing any fact checking before publication ... that's not accepted protocol. https://embargowatch.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/stenographers-anyone-gmo-rat-study-co-sponsor-engineered-embargo-to-prevent-scrutiny/ " One of the main reasons for embargoes �" if you take many journals at their word �" is to give reporters more time to write better stories. Part of how you do that is talking to outside experts. And scientists �" ones interested in science, anyway, not those interested in spin and political points �" should welcome that kind of scrutiny."

Dead for me too. I don't seem to have any involvement with any of the companies listed, unfortunately, my 84 yr old mother does. Now, if I can just somehow convince her that not all arriving into her 'in box' is legitimate mail, that it really is OK to delete things without opening :( Here's the CNN report from a few days ago - it doesn't sound wildly dangerous if people are just vigilant about spam and phishing attempts - and know not to click on those links. Here is a link that might be useful: Epsilon on CNN from Apr 6
