Looking Ahead

There's a new video up by Kitchen Gardener's International about what we should all do next now that we've got a White House garden. Basically the video reveals how KGI is moving on from Eat The View to Crush Hunger.

I've been pondering the same theme for several months--what's next for the RW&G blog? After a year of blogging daily, long-time readers will have noted that my posting has trailed off markedly. I think once the White House garden was planted and the recession got people out diggin', I lost the sense of urgency to post daily. At the same time, my posting on Twitter went up and my garden went dry thanks to the drought here.

2009 has been interesting.

Looking forward, I envision continuing to post here periodically as part of my commitment to documenting the evolution of the grassroots revival. And I'll keep promoting the idea of home gardens on Twitter via my @redwhiteandgrew. At the same time, I hope to rev up my writing in 2010 on Dig for Texas and on a couple of other sites.

In other words, I'm refocusing my energy more locally than before. This seems like a natural progression, doesn't it? The writer who supported local foods wants to take an even closer look at her own area and region and write about them. As I make the transition, I hope you'll take a look at some of my other projects while still regarding RW&G as the online chronicle of a movement that I intended it to be.
