a quick update...

...the camera broke, but the garden is still growing! i am thankful for the wealth of pictures i took before its demise, and am sending it in to be repaired.

we should all get used to these types of setbacks because they are going to increase as the economy gets worse, but guess what? the plants will ALWAYS grow...even if the electricity is turned off, even if a weird smart bomb knocks out all batteries...even if the WATER is turned off, plants that we can eat will still grow. yes, Earth Momma is good to us indeed. and we have to remember, more than just our busy hands, the Sun and water grow plants. we got the Moon, the soil, the Energy of the seeds, the insects, the plants working together to protect & deflect for each other...the core truths about us and our relationships to what is around us cannot be taught in textbooks. we have to learn about the realities of life by living with and for the things we actually need. we dont need money and electronics. we need food, we need water and we need each other. 

i have a few blogs in the works right now, but in the meantime i have decided to be better about sharing my thoughts about what the gardening revolution is really about, because it's not just about the actions of "gardening" or even of "revolting" - it's more than that. i dont always have as much time as i would like, but i appreciate you taking this time with me to help realize our potential to sustain outside of dependency on money for food.

my son just declared that i am, "done, done, DONE! NO, NOT IN A SECOND!" so with that, i'm off!

  1. So when they cut the water do we pee on the plants, or add some sort of ph balancing agent and utilize that?
    Probably best to bring in the rain to avoid all that.
