For the chickens, I keep a small laying flock of about 6 birds. I think it to be very rewarding. There is a great informative group that I belong to: <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cincinnatibackyardchickens/" rel="nofollow">Cincinnati Backyard Chickens</a> I want to say that they have an evolving database for the laws and bylaws surrounding keeping chickens in the Greater Cincinnati area, including all of the smaller burgs that incorporated/unincorporated, etc. I have found it to be a great forum and resource. I blog about my adventures in chicken keeping quite a bit on my own <a href="http://www.consciousurbanliving.com/" rel="nofollow">site</a>, you should check it out! Thank you, Etha!

I have been reading about alternatives to industrial farming. I wonder if the City of Hamilton has any limitations on small life stock like hen layers. This was awesome and inspirational!!!!

A. I wholeheartedly recommend <a href="http://www.gardengirltv.com/" rel="nofollow">The Garden Girl</a> for a practical approach to small-scale gardening, and she's got a great message board; <a href="http://www.farmersalmanac.com/home_garden/gardening" rel="nofollow">The Farmer's Almanac</a> is also a good resource. I have already digested a lot of the stuff, and I welcome questions, too. B. I won't need to truck water with the bike, as I would have a rain catchment system as part of the overall garden plan - a single 55-gallon rainbarrel served my home kitchen garden + last year. I do have a car, which I use begrudgingly ;). Depending on the site, I don't know if municipal water would be available or not. So much TBD, it is driving me a little nuts! :D So very glad you asked, Quimbob!

Do you have any links to sites or message boards for beginner gardeners ? B. How do you get water to the urban gardens? Hauling water on a bike is a nightmare. :-) thanks Couple questions

Cooking is such a gift we give our selves and our children. Good stuff you've written. I want to quiz my kid next time we are at the grocery, just to see if she can identify an eggplant.
