Garden Thoughts


Yesterday, I picked some more goodies from my small test garden and it just struck me how wonderful and complex Mother Nature is. My Green Bell Peppers, Jalapeño Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes grew from seeds. Seeds that their DNA goes back probably thousands of years. But every year, these plants reproduce themselves reliably and ‘perfectly’ again and again creating food for humans and animals to eat. All they ask for is some good dirt, food, and water, they do the rest!

I truly hope Politicians, Big AG and GMO doesn’t screw up this cycle in search of profits. The outcome could cause global starvation.

  2. I'm surprised growing a garden hasn't become illegal! Enjoy it while you can old friend! Damn good looking veggies!

    1. Oh it will. The government has an opportunity to regulate something else, home gardens to make sure they are safe for us to eat. I worked for years under government regulation with the FDA. People have no idea how powerful they are and how costly to comply.
