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

fruition
there is fruit in the iuncg and more coming along which is good...the stolon that is developing into a strawberry daughter plant has begun to turn upward and set down roots ( i will be thinning out those turnips this weekend to give it more sun ) so the next generation of plants has started off well...there is another runner in the bed but it has not decided to come to a stop...if it continues some gentle persuasion may be necessary to convince it to root...some cherries ( i count six ) have survived to ripeness ( no...i didn't pick them )...bright red and only partially obscured by leaves, something ( or someone ) will find them soon enough...some of those green strawberries are becoming large enough to stand out from the foliage in the bed as well...a beacon when they are ripe...somewhat better protected by the netting they have a stronger chance of becoming human nutrition...which is pretty much the point of the whole exercise for as long as anyone can remember...always something going on in the garden...focus on maize and tubers next time around
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.
