what's new? (see below for chapters added to books)

I recently discovered that a Turkish website has stolen 26 pages from earthly pursuits. I have emailed them to remove the pages but so far they have ignored my requests. I am in the process of notifying their hosting company, the search engines and directories that this Turkish website has illegally copied pages on their site. If you know of, or see earthly pursuits' pages on other websites, please let me know. These files are copyrighted and it is illegal to copy them without permission. Thanks.

February 20, 2005: The Cumbrian Blether by Patrick is new.

January 21, 2005: Janelle Seavey is back with Sadness in Siberia. part of her ongoing articles about Gardening in Little Siberia aka Maine.

January 8, 2005:  My apologies for not getting Letters From A Living Dead Man available in hard copy before Christmas. There was a delay in getting the ISBN numbers. The book should be ready for ordering within the next 3-4 weeks, then I will start on War Letters From A Living Dead Man. I am also going to try to get a Language and Grammar of Flowers ready in hard copy before Easter.

I have started another Victory Gardens e-book online. It is: Victory Gardens Handbook of the Victory Garden Committee War Services, Pennsylvania State Council of Defense, April 1944. It is about the necessity of Victory Gardens even after WWII and can be used as a guide today for organizing, planning, planting, cultivation and preserving fruits and vegetables. I will try to regularly add chapters until it is complete.
