This is an abbreviated newsletter because I am in the Carolinas studying and teaching this week and next. As you can see I have a class this coming Monday in South Carolina. And of course there are Florida-based classes scheduled into late September. You can sign up for a class any time but it may take me a few days to get back with you as I will be not on line daily for the coming week. Note an August class in West Palm Beach has been rescheduled for September 23rd.
Monday, August 27th, 1624 Taylor Road, Honea Path, South Carolina, 10 a.m., rain or shine (except hurricanes.) Donations to Putney Farm are appreciated as they are hosting the event. For more information you can contact Putney Farm on Facebook or Green Deane at GreenDeane@gmail.com.

135 Foraging DVDs
available for free on You Tube. They do have ads on them so every time you watch a Green Deane video I get a quarter of one cent. Four views, one cent. Not exactly a large money-maker but it helps pays for this newsletter. If you want to see the videos without ads and some in slightly better quality you can order the DVD set. It is nine DVDs with 15 videos on each. Many people want their own copy of the videos or they have a slow service and its easier to order then to watch them on-line. They make a good gift for that forager you know. Individual DVDs can also be ordered. You can order them by clicking on the button on the top right of this page or you can go here.
Donations to upgrade EatTheWeeds.com and fund a book have gone well and made it past the half way mark. Thank you to all (Peggy last week) who have contributed to either via the Go Fund Me link, the PayPal donation link or by writing to Green Deane POB 941793 Maitland FL, 32794. The Forum needs work and several function problems need to be fixed specifically the search and categories ( a partial solution is that when you do a search other finds are directly below the main one shown. Scroll down.) A continuing problem is finding an indexing program or function for a real book. Writing programs used to do it automatically if you designated a term for indexing. Now that most books are ebooks most writing programs do not provide and indexing function. The hunt continues.
This is weekly issue 318.
