Monsanto Ordered to Pay Man $289 Million

It's a huge win over weedkiller-giant Monsanto, the maker of Roundup, the most popular weedkiller in the world! Jurors in San Francisco just awarded a former school groundskeeper
Dwayne Johnson $289 million after he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

About the Freedom Gardener

I am a new homeowner who inherited an unruly garden, but it is my new sandbox. I get to play around and create new things.

It also means that I am now free to grow my own food (at least on a small scale-- I don't have a huge backyard.) In these troubling economic times I find, like so many others, that there is a certain empowerment that comes with the idea of being able feed yourself with food grown in your own garden. There is a certain satisfaction and security in knowing that the food you are growing is fresh and organic, grown without chemicals and packed full of nutrition. I'm looking forward to this satisfaction.

But so far I am just a beginner. I've just started creating my sand castle, and have barely begun to lay the foundation. There is a lot for me to learn, and I will share some of what I learn in this blog.

If you want to follow along and watch the progress on my garden, you are welcome to check out my Weedy Garden blog, where I document my accomplishments and failures with my own little backyard Eden.

Thanks for stopping by!
