Must be time for that two-story "glass" addition 
to the south side of the house, radiant heat floor,
and holes in the floor for the trees. Each  *hole*
has to have a concrete "floor" three feet down in.
That's the way the British used to do in Victorian
times to have oranges in England. I read about the
BBC program on PBS (a short series) in an old British 
mag, sent for the used book that accompanied the
program, and one-a these days when/if I should
be lucky enough to have 'extra' cash, will get
the videotape/s.  The Victorian Kitchen Garden.

With the tree roots dwarfing the trees "naturally",
and additional hard pruning when out of flower, 
they may be maintained to a 'ladderless' height, 
too. Also need additional lighting I suppose, 
but then there is halogen lighting .... Makes me
feel lucky now that I have *not* developed
"expensive" tastes .... <g>

Good news for bees (maybe and I *wish* !),

bad news continues with one small 'break' :

same link, other subject :

excerpt :
"oilseeds" - canola, soya, and *corn* -
if ya want 'healthy' it's gotta be olive oil - 
gonna take the bastards *years* (lifetimes ?)
to manipulate control of olives into their 
pockets.

excerpt :
"not directly for human consumption" -
no I don't have reference data, ya shoulda
read it on yer own - but there has already
been a (ahem) "mix-up" about which corn is
for humans and which isn't, and it *was*
"publicized"...

GM wheat ground down 
Following Bayer's decision to stop its Genetically Modified (GM) maize 
trials<http://turlough.blogspot.com/2004/03/gm-crop-growing-stalled-in-ukhtml>
 in the UK, Monsanto has decided to stop marketing GM 
wheat<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3703791.stm>. 

In an agricultural turn of phrase, Monsanto said that it would not market its 
strain of GM wheat because it "does not have a strategic fit with our overall 
strategy". It says that the commercial development of its Roundup Ready 
wheat, modified to resist the Roundup weedkiller, would be deferred so that 
it could concentrate on research into GM maize, cotton and oilseeds. 

Anti-GM campaigners are delighted and claim there isn't a market for GM food. 
Meanwhile, the biotech industry is going ahead with GM crops not directly 
produced for human consumption.
