Re: [GWL]: Organic-Style/OG-Why?

Carol,

   I have a theory about Organic Gardening. They used to be a respectable organization, actually interested in promoting the practice of organic gardening. But over the years I, who used to love and respect their materials, have watched them become more and more commercial, and less and less accurate.
  They now send out advertisements for exercise equipment and supliments, promising that "You can have the body you want in 30 days!" and other such utter hogwash. Their management is now focused entirely on making money, and concepts such as truth, honesty, contributing to society, and so forth, are long gone. 
  ps. Your book on breeding vegetables looks great and I'm going to buy a copy.
  I'd say good riddance to them!
