Digging In

At last, some good weather to get the garden ready. The cold hung on too long and now we need to work quickly to get it all planted. While doing this, building up our garden, I constantly ask myself what it's worth?
Do the supper markets deflate produce prices in order to keep you from growing your own food? If so it must work because not enough of us think about growing our food. Yet just a hundred years ago that is ALL you thought about. It's like we look for anything else to do but grow food.
What you miss is the "earth connection" that comes with gardening. And the tranquil peace that comes with "digging in".
It has sunk in for me just how important it is to grow plants. Try it and feel the "connection" for yourself.
7 billion, digging in and counting.
