Another World Blog

November 7, 2011 · Filed Under Friends and Foes, Travel · 2 Comments 

A friend of mine who lives locally has a travel blog called Another World Blog.

Since he’s recently moved to the Netherlands he’s now writing a lot about the country from the point of view as an immigrant.  At the moment, he’s very interested in exploring Dutch customs and traditions.  He’s also travelled other places and written about those too.

I often don’t write much about living in the Netherlands.  For this reason I like to recommend other blogs with this kind of material.  I hope you have a look at his blog, and maybe leave a comment or two…

A Seed for Change

August 28, 2011 · Filed Under Friends and Foes, Political, Seed Network, Seed Saving, Seeds · 2 Comments 

Film maker Alex Ikonomidis recently sent me an email to tell me about his latest project, A Seed for Change.

All I can say is it looks great to me! I think if anyone would like to help out with a donation or tips or pointers, he would like to hear from you.

Carol Deppe

One of my favorite gardening books is Carol Deppe’s Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties: The Gardener’s and Farmer’s Guide to Plant breeding and seed saving.

I’ve recently come across her website where you can find links to her books for sale on Amazon, and download some excerpts.  You can also find her contact information if you want to ask her questions about her books and inquire about seeds for sale.

Kitchen Garden Recipes

Laura a long time blogger friend of Mas Du Diable just moved her nearly 300 recipes from her main blog off onto a new blog, Kitchen Garden Recipes.

She is one of only a few bloggers around that focus not only on heirloom vegetables, growing them, saving and sharing seeds, but also cooking them!  Be sure to have a look.

I often meet with people in real life, and immediately get an apology for having not read my blog recently.  Can you imagine?  Have you read all my posts?  How ever much I might get nice feedback from people, and have a lot of people regularly reading my blog, I don’t know anyone who admits to reading my whole blog!

I’m sometimes much worse.  I can go for months without reading any other blog.  I sometimes worry I’ll post something very obvious that everyone else has been talking about for months, and make a fool of myself.

In fact I really appreciate it when people send me emails or leave comments here pointing out things to me I might not otherwise notice, because otherwise I probably wouldn’t notice them!

Anyway, in that spirit, I have a couple of links to blogs I stumbled across lately, but if I’ve missed your blog and you would like me to mention it, please let me know.  Don’t take the lack of my noticing your blog personally in any way, it’s only that I just haven’t spent the time to hunt them all out.

Lass Leben is German for ‘Let Live’, and even if you can’t read German all you have to do is look at the blogroll to see this blog takes a similar approach to gardening as I do.  I met some Germans, Swiss and Austrians recently in Brussels, and I’m wondering if I met this person…  Anyway, if you don’t speak German it’s worth using Google Translate on this blog.

Paul of 16 Wild Acres (or is that Wilde Acres) recently left some comments here.  His blog is about a farming project he starting on and writing about.  I think it’s going to be interesting to follow his efforts.
