Gardening Gone Wild has posted a list of "Great Books for Gardeners" which I am very excited about. I need to stock up on good reading for the winter.
The British magazine Hort week has a brief article about the government trying to deal with an increasing lack of people with the skills to be successful horticulturalists. An issue here in the US too, but I don't think it is even on the government's radar screen in this country.
Gardening Gone Wild (again! They're on a roll... and I had been considering removing them from my google reader list!) has a great post -- a "Letter to me as a new gardener" of the basic gardening advice she wishes she had known when she first started gardening.
Biotechnology -- a Solution to Hunger? An excellent little article looking at the pros and cons of using genetic engrineering to try and help global hunger problems. So much of the coverage on GMOs is insanely polarized, with people either yelling: "It is EVIL!" or "It will SAVE THE WORLD!" that I was very happy to read this -- actually talking about some of the specific good genetic engineering could do, and some of the potential risks.
More on Biotechnology in this piece from the Economist about Monsanto, everyone's favorite big ag company to hate. A good big picture view of where genetic engineering is and where it is going.
By way of the Fine Gardening website: A man arrested for while trying to prune his tree with a shotgun. Silly. Everyone knows semi-automatic machine guns work WAY better.

Wow! I appreciate the efforts you have made to create this post. However, this is a very silent message, but it touched my heart very badly. Therefore, I am looking forward to planting more trees right after getting free from the marketing assignment which I am going to hand over to any
Marketing Essay Help service soon.
Always find something new to explore. Off topic but I wanted to share something for anyone here who is in the research or academic field. Finding the right resources for publishing research is just as important as finding the right information for any other field. I came across academic journal publication services that help researchers with everything from manuscript preparation to journal selection and submission. Really useful for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the publication process.
