Shepherd Odgen Online

Shepherd Odgen, organic gardener, longtime seed purveyer, and author, is online. 
His blogs:

Garden Smarts (where he is currently posting - serialized in blog format - the text of Step By Step Organic Vegetable Gardening, which I review below.) Poke around a bit here and you'll find a photo gallery of his days in the seed trade.

Garden Klog, a roundup of essays and observations on ecology, agriculture, and the state of nature (Lisa, try his post on Monsanto...)

I will eventually add these links to my sidebar (or add a page of links, I've quite a few I've been visiting but haven't added to the page yet... all in good time) but for now, I thought those of you who are studying soils this month would be interested in knowing that book is becoming available online.

Am I doing my readers a disservice when I wonder if some of them will even recognise what 'serialized' means?

It once was a common form of publishing. The Three Musketeers originally came out in serial format, a chapter published at a time, by subscription or in a local magazine/ paper. These days the closest thing I can think of that still retains the format is comic books.

And while I am sure there are a few of us *ahem* that enjoy a monthly issue of a graphic novel, that's a rather small portion of the general population, and I suspect the intersection with gardening is even smaller.

What can I say? I'm an interesting individual!
