~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

[sumisu]

As time passes, I do the same work in a little more time, with an afternoon siesta. Gardening is still an enjoyable release. For example, last Thursday, it was a winter day that was sunny with the light reflecting off my white color house, so I worked in the south garden and cleaned up what I missed last year.

Uninformed people think of gardeners as only digging a hole, plant the plant, and water; but they never realize the enormous time of the tasks preceding and succeeding the simple planting activities.

I laugh at those people who believe that in time of a catastrophe that they can live off the land. It takes a lot of land and maybe ten years of land preparation and learning the gardening skills to survive.

Thanks,
