Bee keeping, avocados, potatoes, and more...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yep, the oil spill is still the big story (again, as it should be)… stay tuned for a podcast at Earth & Industry<\/a> in which David Wescott, Tim Hurst and I discuss it (and I get a little overwrought… I did grow up on the Gulf). But the green blogosphere chugs on… and, as usual, lots of variety, along with good news and even fun. Here’s our Five for Friday<\/a> for the Week.
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Goldman Sachs and AIG breathe sighs of relief:<\/strong> Jeremy Bloom, the new editor at Red, Green and Blue<\/a>, notes that Americans have united around something: hatred of BP<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Pounds and pounds of potatoes: <\/strong>At GreenUpgrader<\/a>,\u00a0 <\/strong>Tim Hurst outlines a pretty simple method for growing a hundred pounds of potatoes<\/a>… in a barrel.<\/li>\n
  3. Breakin’ the law, breakin’ the law:<\/strong> In some towns, and even states, you may be doing just that if you’re keeping bees. The Daily Green<\/a> has a run-down<\/a>…<\/li>\n
  4. They’re not just for guacamole anymore:<\/strong> Cheryl Tallman demonstrates the versatility of the avocado<\/a> at Eco Child’s Play<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Pedal-powered patrol car: <\/strong>OK, the police in Ringwood, UK, won’t actually be using this pedal-powered vehicle<\/a> to run down lawbreakers and speeders… rather, it will be their entry in the British Pedal Car Grand Prix<\/a> on July 11th. Jerry James Stone has the scoop at Greenopolis<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
