Today I'm recognizing all the good stuff other bloggers got to before I did. Even stuff I knew about but just didn't have time to research and post. Darn deadlines! So here are the links.
The EarthTainer -- a device that's half pot/half hydroponic growing system that is supposed to be the best way yet to grow tomatoes. Devised by a Silicon Valley home gardener. Found on Cindy McNatt's blog Dirt Dujour
Woolly Pockets -- felt planters made out of recycled plastic. Noticed their ad in a magazine on the airline on the way home from Sunset Celebration. (Trust me, their ads are hard to miss, as you will soon see.) Thought the product was as intriguing as the company's ad campaign, but once again Dirt Dujour beat me to the punch.
The Grass Roots Program -- a coalition of Los Angeles-based iirrigation and horticultural professionals and Green Movement citizens who recognize some people still want lawns and are promoting the use of less thirsty varieties such as UC Verde buffalo grass as well as better methods of irrigation. I knew about the program, but Shirley Bovshow at Eden Makers Blog posted it first.
How to Grow an Olive Tree in a Container -- I told several visitor to the Sunset Celebration booth not to waste their time trying to grow an olive tree in a pot, but Fern at Life on the Balcony says it can be done with certain varieties, and she sounds pretty convincing. I stand corrected.
