School Garden Checklist link fixed & others included

Dear Kitchen Gardener,

Apparently KGI's entire team of link-checking monkees must have all taken a banana break at the same time as a bad link slipped its way into this month's newsletter. You can find the corrected link for the very educational School Garden Checklist here:

While I have your attention, I'd also like to direct it to a few stories you might have missed. We had so many wonderful contributions to this month's topic on youth gardens that I wasn't able to fit everything into the 10-story "featured" section. Please check out Kate "the Vegetable Vagabond" Flint's (Australia) and Farmer Dave's (CA, USA) posts here:

I also want to welcome a couple of first-time website contributors, Bill Brikiatis and David Buchanan, who've written some helpful pieces on seed starting, winter growing and cider-making:

If you're interested in contributing something for next month's newsletter, I'll do my best to fit it in. The past two newsletters have had cross-cutting themes: seeds and school gardens. For the March newsletter, we'll go back to our "potluck" format where anyone can bring whatever she or he wants to the KGI table for sharing. Feel free to write about yourself, your garden, your plans for this season, an inspiring garden story, a recipe, a tip or tutorial you'd like to share with others. We're not at a stage where we have strict editorial guidelines but I can give you a few pointers about how to get your story featured:  

1) Include a nice photo.
2) Make it interesting and informative.
3) If you're a garden blogger, don't load your piece up with links to your own site or blog. Mention your site once or twice at the most and those who are interested will visit it.
4) International or internationally-minded posts will receive priority as we have fewer of them.

Thanks for your attention and support.  Here's to creating more links between gardeners the world over...working links, that is!
