HAPPY SPRING EQUINOX :)
...or I guess Autumnal Equinox for those of us south of the Equator... ;) Certainly doesn't feel like Autumn here in Vilcabamba though... ;) Our gardens are expanding with love by the day and today I am *VERY* excited to bring you all news of a wonderful gardening adventure we're *ALL* invited to participate in, wherever we may live...
It's the 2010 "Biodynamic Cherry Tomato Challenge", wherein anyone can receive *free* seeds to grow their own biodynamic cherry tomatoes from a 20+ year old heirloom variety of tomatoes :)

OoOoooooo, I am EXCITED to say that our interview with Dr. Leonid Sharashkin
on The Raw Food World Radio Show is coming up THIS week - Friday March 26th :) Leonid is the translator of the "Anastasia" books into English from Russian, as well as a permaculturist, father, teacher and visionary...I think this is the interview I'm most excited about so far - I squealed when Mr. M announced Leonid as the next guest, on last month's show ;) lol...it feels *almost* like a direct connection to the goddess of the Taiga herself, Anastasia ;)Mr. Monarch reports:
"We are SO EXCITED to interview Leonid!!! I have so many questions for him. The main one being... Of course... "Does Anastasia exist?". We all may have a good idea of what his answer will l
ikely be, however, I don't intend to give up easily with this question. We're going to push some buttons and go DEEP into the truth...Additionally, we have many other questions for Leonid in regards to the Anastasia way of life and permaculture. Lastly, we heard a rumor that a tenth Anastasia book has been released. I want to know if this is true and if he plans on translating it any time soon!!!"
