UPDATE: The internet is a wonderful thing … thanks to Aaron Cummins, I have an answer … SPIN-Farming.

Ok, I admit it, I’ve failed, and I need your help. Some time ago I linked to some folks in the US who offer courses in intensive horticulture, the kind that can make a small urban vegetable farm a profitable enterprise. But now that I want to find them, I can’t, and every search I’ve tried doesn’t reveal any more. Are you those folks? Get in touch. Do you remember who they were? Give me a clue. Please. Thank you.

The more eagle-eyed among you may have noticed, looking at the byline of the previous post, that we have a new regular contributor. He’s Robert Hijmans, and he has in fact written for us before, most memorably his tour-de-force liveblogging from the recent Harlan II Symposium. Welcome to the team, Robert.

Sing it loud, we’re two and proud.

How time flies while you’re having fun. Agro.agro.biodiver.se is two years old today. We’ve given ourselves and (we hope) you the gift of a fresh new look. ^{1 2}

What do you think?

I spent the afternoon upgrading the engine that powers this site, and that might have been a mistake. Two things don’t work. Latest Posts over on the right now shows Nibbles, those little collections of links. It shouldn’t, and it didn’t used to. I can’t figure that out right now. And the Map for geo-referenced posts doesn’t work either. That could be trickier to fix. But I won’t even be able to try for a week or so because I’m off on the road again. I hope everything else is working …

On the other hand, if you’re reading this on an iPhone or iPod Touch, you’ll be astounded. I claim no credit. It is all down to the geniuses who built WPtouch.

Apologies if you were having a little trouble reaching the site yesterday; so were we. Apparently the server that hosts agro.agro.biodiver.se was under attack from the forces of darkness, but they have now been repelled. We hope we can now resume normal service.
