Do you read the Transition Culture blog? You should.
Rob's last entry was all about GM food which should be of concern to all of us. I'd recommend you also read the comments at the end of his entry, especially the bit about the EU sanctioning the growing of GM crops within Europe. There's little point in me elaborating here but go to the blog and get the info first hand.
If we don't want the EU to sanction GM crops then we are given the opportunity to petition the EU to review their decision - IF we get 1 million signatures! A tall order but it is a (an?) Europe wide petition. To sign the petition go here. I'm not normally a NIMBY but on this issue I make an exception.

The 8th of May sees Transition Town Dorchester celebrate it's 2nd birthday at St George's Church Hall, Fordington. To raise money for TTD coffers a plant swap/sale is being organised for the event so when you're sowing this years seeds sow a few extra for the Party. Maybe take a few offshoots from that overgrown artichoke, pot up and bring along.
