Towards sustainability

By , About.com Guide

Syd took me to the organic garden he began a few months ago when he arrived in Avdou.

One gardening secret? "I don't like weeds. Hate'em."

A pale Brit blues singer and front man for "Fastlane Roogalator", Syd cleared land that had been untouched for years, digging out enough space by hand for zucchini plants, tomatoes, and squashes. "It helped me be accepted by the village. Suddenly I was the man with the garden, someone who was working the soil. I might not be Cretan but I'm sensible enough to want to grow food, and they respect that."
