Food Growing Blogger Get-Together

Kate of Hills and Plains recently posted a suggestion of a get-together in Australia.  If anyone thinks they might be interested in participating in something like that, you should certainly have a look at her post.

If any readers find themselves in Europe and would like to meet me, and perhaps get some seeds or plants from me, please send me an email.  Certainly if you are visiting Amsterdam, we should try to get together.  Depending on the circumstances, I may travel within Europe as well, particularly to nearby countries like Belgium, Germany, France and the UK.

First Harvest!

Spinach

A bowl of spinach is the first thing to come out of our new garden.  I planted it in the greenhouse about a month before the tomatoes, then planted the tomatoes in and amongst the spinach plants, and it seems to have worked pretty well so far.  It was really yummy!

Awards: Nominations and Voting

This blog has been nominated as a finalist for the 2008 Best International Blog award over at the Mouse and Trowel website. Voting starts immediately, and if it works the same as last year, everyone is allowed one vote per day. It’s not clear how long the voting will last. Vote early and vote often!

In particular I want to thank everyone who made the effort to nominate me. It’s very gratifying to know that enough people appreciate this blog and took the time to nominate it as a finalist.

I’ve also been nominated for a Fork’n Monkey award, in the category Most Unusual Vegetable Based Blog (thanks Simon). Best of all the nominations are still open!

Since there’s bound to be some disappointment over the Mouse and Trowel nominations, here’s a chance to nominate and discuss the other great blogs out there too.
