What is really strange to me is the "organic" craze. So many people want organic fruit and vegetables now. Where were they when I went organic 36 years ago? Organic is neither new or innovative, rather it is the way many farmers grew their crops for years.
It absolutely boggles the mind that people actually pay upwards of $10 for a 2 liter bottle of liquid worm poop (Terracycle's liquid worm poop). Worms make the most perfect fertilizer that the world knows and guess who the genius was that thought that one up? It was G-d, not man.
I do not know why so many people think they have a better way to plant then what farmers have known for years. Farmers follow the path of generations past in their planting method.
I am not complaining about the Grow Boxes I used in my garden this year. It is the best method I have seen for people like me who have had to give up regular gardening. Let me change that, the boxes are G R E A T!!!!
The current tally on garden production is 98 1/2 pounds of produce. That is impressive with half the growing season left and starting late. I can not complain and neither can anybody who has had some of the fruits of our labor.
In order to succeed, you have to crawl before you walk, and walk before you run. Changes will abound next year, with transplants grown by me and starting earlier with cold weather crops like sugar snap peas and broccoli.
Sesame Street currently is in their 41st experimental season and I am in my 36th experimental season. One of these days both Sesame Street and I will get it right and stop experimenting.
