re: #3 Killgore Trout

What’s really needed is a charismatic advocate for the cause. When I gave up on American TV a few years ago I started watching cooking and gardening shows from the UK.

Yes, love Monty Don’s program too.

I remember years ago watching The Victory Garden with James Crockett on PBS. I guess the series is still going, but I haven’t watched it in at least 20 years. There have always been productive gardening shows, societies, publications, etc. in this country, but it’s pretty clear to me that just by walking around the San Diego that few people use their property to grow food. Most of the fruit trees I see were planted years ago, and just about everywhere I walk I see that the majority of people just let the fruit rot on the tree or fall to the ground. The local stores import oranges from Australia while in the same neighborhood oranges are falling to the ground and rotting. A real shame, and IMO immoral.
