The Big Crunch

I think the start of 2009 marked the beginning of the big crunch. Back in the seventies we were speculating on how we needed to get back to a grass roots lifestyle in order to prepare ourselves for when things go pear shaped on planet earth.

We are a new seed saving group with about 15 members (10 active) and try to have meetings once a month to share/ swap. The members are also involved with garden visits which is co-ordinated through this site.
