Just in case the old email subscription list for this blog still works -- and, moreover, just in case any of you all are curious where my food growing endeavors have led me -- check out the Sept. 29 (today's) post in the link:

Thank you all for being such an integral part of my beginnings getting kids to participate extensively and meaningfully in an educational, local-food-growing operation. Here's to the prospect that I can keep doing this kind of work -- together with teachers, students, and community members in and around our kids' city school down here in Asheville, NC -- for years to come!
PS -- I just realized the common thread of the school names... very interesting. One, a white
northern abolitionist and passionate orator and advocator for the rights
of native Americans and slaves; the other, a freed southern black man
who among other accomplishments rallied the black community in Asheville late in the 19th century
to vote for the creation of the city's first public
schools (for blacks and whites).
