Don't know why it's happening, but it's constant and very tedious. I'm
getting it a lot. The word guerilla hasn't been in anything either- rescued
animals etc.
 
Good to know it isn't just me.
 
Yes I am concerned. I don't have this kind of time to waste, so I wind up not
posting.

PS: I thought it was just these stupid att banner ads and popups and moving
junkloops hanging the email up.

Send failed. Trying again. This has happened MANY times in the last few
months. Is anyone else having this problem?

    The first 4 times I sent this to the list it never made it. Maybe it was
because it had the word "guerilla" in the subject line.
    I never heard back from anyone about their own local "volunteer" crops,
though I'm curious to compare notes.
    So, who is stopping email from reaching the list? ISPs?
    Should we be concerned?
    Has anyone else experienced this kind of censorship?
    Thanks,
    Keith

        Any groups like these (below) happening in your regions?

        In Bloomington, IN, there are lots of community gardens, a new
community orchard, urban farmers, farmers markets, university gardeners,
local seed growers / sellers cooperation, increasing levels of garden /
farmer training and support.

        We don't have any "official" guerilla gardening groups locally (that
I know of) but as a seed saver I find myself thinking about all the things in
my garden that could grow on their own, or with little support, in wilder
urban niches. I have in mind a diversity of plants with multiple yields and
the creation of mixed seed collections of locally adapted, low maintenance,
often self-sowing, occasionally high nutritional value, beneficial insect /
bee / butterfly attracting, colorful, fragrant, sometimes perennial,
economically valuable, nitrogen-fixing, wildlife food / habitat, and
mineral-accumulating types of plants that could also partially self-employ
those who establish / manage / harvest them.

        Maybe a tall order but doable, I think..

        A few of the plants that would lend themselves to some neglect under
less-cared-for conditions in  my local (going on zone 7 [was zone 5 25 years
ago]) list include (in no particular order)

        amaranth,
        magenta lamb's quarters,
        cilantro,
        dill,
        carrot (especially the cosmic red and purples which bloom in rosy
pinks and are swarmed by beneficials),
        walking or Egyptian onion,
        leek,
        chard,
        lettuce,
        radish,
        ground cherry (Physalis spp.), tomatillo,
        broom corn (Sorghum),
        wheat,
        long beans,
        lablab beans (hyacinth bean),
        sunflowers,
        balsam impatiens (I grew them as understory in the asparagus and
scattered through the garden and they shaded out weedy competition
beautifully, butterflies and pollinators love them, simple and effortless to
weed),
        cup plant (Sylphium),
        indigo (Indigofera tinctoria [polygonaceae], I have white- and
pink-flowered types of this beautiful blue-dye plant that self-sow in the
greenhouse and outdoors);
        the moschata branch of the cucurbits (solid stem, borer resistant)
and includes tromboncino, butternut and others;
        orach (Chenopodium),
        motherwort (careful, succeeds easily in poor soil),
        celosias (very elegant, colorful and beneficial hosts),
        garlic (plant cloves or bulbils),
        field / winter / Austrian peas,
        kale,
        collards,
        senna (short woody, N-fix, bee forage, yellow flowers for 1-2 months),
        baptisia (blue, yellow and white varieties, perennial, N-fix),
        Amorpha fruticosa ("false indigo", bee forage, mulch, N),
        cherry tomatoes,
        buckwheat,
        liatris,
        hollyhocks,
        zinnias,
        marigolds,
        hibiscus,
        sweet potatoes,
        stonefruit,
        paw paws,
        service berry (from seed and side shoots),
        currant / gooseberry (from cuttings),
        thornless blackberries and
        che fruit (melon berry / Chinese mulberry, fig / mulberry family, can
be grafted onto wild Osage orange [Maclura]).
        Apples could be grafted onto crab apples and hawthornes, pears on to
ornamental pears.

        What would your local lists look like?
