Celebrating 70 Years – Organic Gardening magazine turns 70 this year.  It started out in 1942 as black and white newsprint pamphlet and has grown to a beautiful publication that many gardeners can’t live without.  It’s where the Rodale Institute began regularly sharing advice about growing organically, back when chemicals and hybrid technologies were just starting to infiltrate commercial agriculture.  To celebrate 70 years of growing organically, they have partnered with Seed Savers Exchange to offer 70 different seed varieties, all heirlooms and all organically grown.  You’ll find selections like Speckled Cranberry and Calypso beans, Two-inch Strawberry Popcorn, and Sweet Chocolate peppers. There is also a contest that you can enter daily to win fabulous prizes from companies like Safer Brand, Eden and Endangered Species chocolates.  If you happen to pick up a copy of the February /March issue, you’ll find a great recipe for Frances Mayes’ Strawberry Semifreddo.
