		<title>Last Minute Plantings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So that little jungle of seedlings I wrote about earlier are nagging to get into the ground before I leave and they are a top priority, along with some cuttings I started a few weeks ago. My irrigation methods are quite primitive which I like because I get to hang out with my plants and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dandelioness.wordpress.com&blog=3928447&post=20&subd=dandelioness&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>African Implosion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day of my departure is getting closer. I am so excited that I can&#8217;t allow myself to imagine what it will be like in Africa  anymore, for fear that I might implode. I just fill my day with tasks, books, and gardening, alot of busy work. The reality of returning to the land [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dandelioness.wordpress.com&blog=3928447&post=19&subd=dandelioness&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Backyard Farming in the City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A growing number of city dwellers are growing their own food. In  ground, raised beds, and containers heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, and such have found their way to the city. Is this only a simple solution to our &#8220;economic slowdown&#8221; aaahhhcooresession! or is it because we are becoming more environmentally conscious? Whatever the  reason, lets keep [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dandelioness.wordpress.com&blog=3928447&post=9&subd=dandelioness&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Bees and the Balance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend during a heat wave that rendered me completely useless, I stumbled upon an episode of Nature Silence of the Bees (KCET) about Colony Collapse Disorder and it&#8217;s suspected causes. Recently a few of the kids in my neighborhood  threw rocks at a hive and I was pretty mad, trying to explain and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dandelioness.wordpress.com&blog=3928447&post=10&subd=dandelioness&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Yellow Fever, menengitis, and typhoid, oh my! or Shot Damn!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have spent the better part of this week combing the CDC website (thanks Joseph) to see what vaccinations to get and it is really pretty scary&#8230; I don&#8217;t like needles, and I don&#8217;t like to be sick, and this time I just really can&#8217;t afford to be sick. So I will clench my teeth [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dandelioness.wordpress.com&blog=3928447&post=5&subd=dandelioness&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today on every news program the lead story was food security, and or safety. Paranoia, hype or truth? I guess the thing is, what is the source, and is it credible. On some programs it was limited to America&#8217;s salmonella infested tomatoes, and can we trust our food supply. I think the question needs a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dandelioness.wordpress.com&blog=3928447&post=4&subd=dandelioness&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
