These days, "local" is in... and major companies who once flaunted themselves as "globalized" are trying to turn around and become more "localized." One such venture is the creation of Patches. Patches are online, interactive communities of readers, writers, and reporters keeping in touch and sharing and responding to information that directly affects their own neighborhoods. For example, Long Beach itself has not just one Patch but many, including the Belmont Shore/Naples online community, which was launched today. And guess who was featured in their sustainability column? Hmmmm... I wonder.
Holland, the author of the Patch's sustainability column and parent of one of my FAVORITE former students, came to my house and interviewed me a few weeks ago. It was strange and wonderful to be interviewed in my own home and treated like an "expert" in gardening and sustainability.
I certainly do not claim to be an advanced organic farmer, just someone who wanted to try it out and was willing take some risks and rip up a lot of grass to make way for my vision. I feel lucky to have been mostly successful with my harvest this past year, and I am grateful for all of the support and interest I have received from friends and family!

I'm off to harvest Chinese cabbage and cauliflower for dinner before it gets any darker!
