Hope Lives at Geo Growers
Posted by Administrator | Filed under Geo Growers
The times ahead are a great opportunity for us to come together as a community of caring persons; husbands, wives, parents, children, and neighbors to garden and farm our way out of this financial and food crisis. In the aftermath of the stupidity of importing more food than we produce, America, once called the “bread basket of the world,” is about to relearn that resplendent axiom, “All true wealth comes from the land.” The five elements of that cheated wealth are these: soil, seed, sunlight, rain, and labor. Sunlight drives the machinery of photosynthesis; whether it be grass, grain, or gardens, the seeds of which do not grow in a vacuum, but must fall upon fertile ground. Rain must fall on our tended plots, our planted fields, or refill Earth’s aquifers from which our irrigation waters are drawn. Finally, human labor, and it is a labor of love, brings it all together and puts food on the table.
The view of the road ahead is frightening. The challenges in front of us are in fact enormous. Yet none of it is hopeless. The purpose of this blog is to give us a place to come together, exchange ideas, share gardening tips and experiences, and basically help each other so that we don’t lose hope. We need each other so here we are.
