Take a look, let me know what you think?

What a fantastic project John.
Its a sad fact that the last few generations have become totally removed from any aspect of food production.
This disassociation has ( with other factors) led to poor diets and environmental ignorance.
I would like to see more of this happening and more of the younger generations eyes being opened to fresh food andgrowing it - but fear that funding ( now) may be an issue.
Are you Lincolnshires answer to Jamie Oliver - do you say pukka?
Great article...very very well done JC.

The follow up stories were going to be one page of the magazine but the editor talked to me on Friday and asked me to write double pages for each month, which is brill!

Well done John, terrific project what about a how to book for other schools, maybe with work sheets and a video.
My daughter teaches a nursery class and she gets them to grow potatoes, lettuces, cucumbers and tomatoes in containers and grobags. They also have a school gardening club for older children which she is involved in.

Brilliant John, well done 8^) will definitely follow with interest - as Rowly said, shame there isn't more available funding for this sort of thing.

I will mention it to my daughter John thank you.
However if you can manage to pull it together into a book and publish it even in a small way it will give you great authority. As a published author, it will also establish you in peoples minds as a specialist or expert.
It seems to me you have made a good start by pulling the information together, the editorial mentioning the different planting ideas you were trying, in itself suggests a large breadth of knowledge and speaks of a large amount of research.

Fantastic John - very impressive. Love the mix of techniques and produce. Would be interested to learn how this is being funded - or are you doing it as a volunteer?
