<P class=MsoNormal>Someone told me today that Congress is about to pass a bill
that would make backyard gardening illegal, and organic gardening would be
prohibited, slapped with 500,000 dollar fines, etc. I laughed a good one. But I
peeked around the web and the notion seems to have taken some root in some
corners. So, I read the Bill HR 875 which one forum site cited as the source of
these perceived threats to our favorite heirloom tomatoes and string beans. Lo
and behold, there is not ONE snip of anything in this particular bill which
could be skewed to mean that backyard gardens are in any way threatened, nor are
organic farms under attack by a nefarious plot to eliminate the practice. The
whole notion is utterly hilarious. One of the sites that mentioned this
legislation (which is dated Feb 2009, but who reads bills these days?) was
aligned somehow with Rand Paul, but I’ve lost the URL now. Are some folks going
totally bonkers?<o:p></o:p></P>
