The weather was cold today and I was a little under the weather with a cold. However, a ray of hope came when I had the chance to read the Kitchen Gardeners International (KGI) web page a friend has sent me. KGI is an international group whose “mission is to empower individuals, families, and communities to achieve greater levels of food self-reliance through the promotion of kitchen gardening, home-cooking, and sustainable local food systems. In doing so, KGI seeks to connect, serve, and expand the global community of people who grow some of their own food.” It is by no accident that the same friend who called my attention to this web page is the friend who shared with me the idea of the Garden of Resistance.
Another friend, Godsil, co-founder of the Milwaukee Renaissance and a big Obama backer, has been desperately trying to get urban farming on the national political agenda during this election campaign. I am sure he will enjoy the picture of “Eat This View.” So those of you that might read this posting I suggest you check out this web page. Also I like calling oneself a “kitchen gardener” over urban farmer or gardener or the ‘worm guy.’ Grow what you eat and eat your view.
