Organic rather than transgenetic.
Labor instead of chemicals.
Diversity in place of monoculture.

impatience rewarded?
...perhaps because there is movement...am i mistaken or is that a shoot of zea diploperennis i see coming up form one of the seeds i planted a few weeks ago> i believe it is so chalk up a reward...the kansas wheat grass is booming along already and will soon be spreading out into the garden...i will need to bag the seedheads when the emerge to deter the starlings and allow a reasonable assessment of yield for lee de haan at the land institute...i found anither rouge jerusalem artichoke and will be removing it to the safety of my backyard this coming week...the pgp is greening up and i am geeked at the thought of teosinte growing with maize again this year...a quick trip to the community garden shows me that it is still early days...no potatoes up yet, but that will change soon...need to get out there with some tools to do some clearing in the beds soon...the asparagus is a total failure...not to worry...we will be growing more maize there this season than i had originally planned and i will "naturalize" some asparagus berries form the hawthorn garden in the autumn...perennials are on their way to the community.
an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
