Denverites are making gardens as if our food supply might run out tomorrow, according to Westword. There’s even a garden going in at 15th and California in downtown Denver.
And the owner of Common Grounds wants to build greenhouses all over Denver.
And what will we do with all that produce, if we can’t sell it? Barter!

I have to say, I’m not so crazy about this law that requires people arrested for felonies to give a DNA sample. I think it should be required only of convicted felons.
This article gives some information about how results of DNA tests will be expunged if the accused is acquitted.
I love the concept of a bartering for produce! It seems we are truly going back to our roots, and the poor economy is encouraging us to become creative.

Yes, Heidi, I agree. I just hope it lasts after the economy recovers.
