Lettuce eat lettuce, and more on the disappearing bees

by Bobbi Chukran

Mornin’ earthly gardeners,

Just got this link to a great article from Renee Shepherd, owner of Renee’s Garden Seeds. It’s all about lettuce…how to plant, different varieties, etc. Lettuce can be planted in pots, too.

More on the disappearing bees…..Scientists in Germany have a theory that the bee problem is being caused by mobile phones! They think that the radiation from handsets is disrupting the bee’s navigation systems. I am NOT making this up! Here’s a LINK to a story in the Independent, a UK based online news source.

It seems that Colony Collapse Disorder isn’t just a problem in the US anymore!

Scary stuff…

    Heard about the belief that it’s global warming?

    Hey Cyndi,

    Yep. Some people blame global warming and environmental issues. I personally believe it’s a little of “all of the above”…a combo of environmental, human intervention in nature, perhaps some kind of mite, pesticides, etc.
