had a look at what is actually growing back there this morning...it is a busy place...it will take a couple of minutes of your time...top to bottom:
teosinte...bear paw maize...one of the spuds i planted last week beginning to leaf...a blue lake bush bean...alfalfa...yacon...sweet potato vine...jerusalem artichokes safely containerized...and rhubarb.
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- 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.
