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

getting past the weather
the weather has been cooler than i would like to see for early june and some of the growth in the garden has stalled...the cucumbers are coming along slowly ( top photo ) and it will be some time before we see blossoms i think...the sweet corn is taking its time as well ( second photo ) and won't be happy until it actually becomes summer...then we can argue with the squirrels...on the plus side the yukon gold potatoes seem to be doing just fine despite the temperatures ( third photo )...and another of the hopi blue maize replants has popped up ( bottom photo )...so we have a sort of balance...which is fine...but i would prefer some uninhibited growth instead...i am eager to set up a trellis for the cucumbers and see how vertical we can get...patience is a virtue...i need to find more.
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.
