If you haven't already checked out The Urban Farmer site from our ally over in North America, it's well worth your time. We just got sucked into the video tutorial on hard pruning tomatoes! theurbanfarmer.co/ theurbanfarmer.co/

Fresh fruit & veg prices rose 43% & 33% respectively at Millennium Drought peak. Not hard to see those with the least to spend on food are most affected. We need to start planning for food systems, including delivery of recycled water to peri-urban farming research.unimelb.edu.au/food…

Drought could cause veggie prices to skyrocket. ab.co/2BcdaFT
