So much of daily life has become stressful routine, as we are pushed into 'better' efficiency and cramming as much as possible into our short lives. People now equate extreme speed, sound, and risk with excitement. It's a real struggle raising our kids to appreciate the excitement in the quiet and the slow amidst all the commotion. The school gardens have been a great help in getting more neighborhood families to grow a bit of food at home and start to come together around some issues that affect us all. Thanks for providing some inspiration! Nice birds, by the way.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600623268334520227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-31222466811715621732008-08-10T16:11:00.000+09:302008-08-10T16:11:00.000+09:30Yes, it's good that people are realising that livi...Yes, it's good that people are realising that living close to the earth is exciting. I'm often surprised by how interested non-gardening friends are in my garden ... and they do find it exciting, even if they're not ready to do it themselves, yet. Growing your own food is a series of small miracles, every day, as seeds become plants become fruits. How can a tiny seed I put into compost in February produce a 500 gram tomato a few months later? We have to persuade many more people that this is a better lifestyle than consumerism and you're doing so much to bring this about, Kate.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-12968768187497437962008-08-10T09:19:00.000+09:302008-08-10T09:19:00.000+09:30It is certainly exciting watching our plants grow ...It is certainly exciting watching our plants grow with all this lovely rain we are having.<BR/>This morning I found a worm in the dogs bowl, the ground must be too damp for them or they were just looking for leftovers. As if golden retrievers would leave anything!<BR/>I don't really know much about worms we shall have to get Ilex to write about them.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155210756905386478noreply@blogger.com
