Brussels in Bloom

A spectacular Picture!
This doesn't relate directly to Florida Gardening but I'm posting it anyway because it is an amazing picture. This "carpet" in the town square is Brussels is made entirely of flowering plants, grass and tree bark. Almost one million begonias were used!

Congress Seeks to Shut Down Backyard Growers?

I recently ran across an article that says there is a bill working its way through Congress that could ban organic gardening or at the very least, heavily regulate it. The new law would impose million dollar fines and forfeiture of your property for violating the regulations. It is being done in the name of food safety. It is known as House Resolution 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009. Read about it here and let me know your comments.
