Urban gardening with Lime

Lime, healthy living with a twist, is a bit farther into the spiritual end of green living than I generally go, but there's an awful lot of great material for us cranky secularists.  What caught my eye especially was a nifty little video, starring chef Michel Nischan, on urban herb gardening.  The follow-up is on edible flowers, from calendula to carnation. 

There's also a delicious-looking recipe at Lime for eating dandelions instead of biociding them - Kat's Spring Tonic Salad, with dandelions, walnuts, blood orange and beets.  Apparently dandelion tastes like endive.

See also the righteous flap about USA Today's article on healthier junk food.  USA Today says stuff like, 7UP is healthy because everything in it is natural.  Marisa Lowenstein at Lime points out that natural ain't the same as healthy.  Fight on, Marisa!

Lime, FYI, is the baby of AOL's Steve Case, and has its own satellite radio station devoted to greener lifestyles.  Anybody actually listened to it?
