I never thought I would listen to the monarchy of England and like what I heard, but I was wrong. It turns out that Prince Charles is someone who thinks we need to work harder to save our natural resources and become environmentally responsible.
When we grow plants, they take the carbon dioxide out of the air and changes it into the oxygen we need to breathe, sugar and other organic elements. By growing plants we can lessen our carbon footprint, and Bill and I have certainly made a concerted effort to do so with our organic garden.
We cleaned up some of our lesser plants today and replaced them with seven Grow Boxes that we replanted with sugar snap pea seeds. If they take off like the other box of sugar snap peas, we should have a lot to stir-fry this winter along with the broccoli.
When I first started with the Grow Boxes I thought I would have a few tomatoes this summer and yet it has become an obsession with me and maybe my husband. We like the clean looks of our garden, we like being able to work from the seat of a garden cart, and we love working in the fresh air. It gives us a chance to get some Vitamin D from the sun.
The doctors are pushing Vitamin D and monitoring the element in our blood. Apparently as we age, the ends of our DNA gets frayed and our bodies break down. Vitamin D in proper levels keeps the DNA from getting frayed.
Well, I take my Vitamin D capsules and you can find me outside playing in the dirt. I intend being the best looking 90 year old in about thirty years.
