PEEEEAAAAS!!!!!
dude i just
the pea plants are amazing. little jumping spiders live in there and eat the bugs.
oh man.
i love jumping spiders.
a yellow crab spider dropped her egg sac onto my freshly-transplanted sage and there were thousands of these tiny (~1.5mm!) baby spiders.
i love pea plants. i think they are so beautiful!
First crop from our organic garden, purple plum radishes! #oraganic #gardening #heirloom (Taken with instagram)
oh my! everybody’s got their radishes and peas coming in already.
it’s pretty likely i’ll touch upon the ethics of responsible eating during my stay with this blog. the manner in which food is produced in this country is so vile, so destructive, so representative of the way our culture devalues labor and shrugs off responsibility. it is the sort of unimaginable senselessness that hurts my heart so much on a daily basis. industrialized agriculture is leaving a big, ugly scar on the face of this planet and on the future of our species.
it used to be that the food we ate was, chemically, nutrients converted to an edible state by human (and labor animal) and solar energy. these days we’re burning up dinosaurs to power our sixteen wheelers and our irrigation systems and our enormous agricultural equipment. when you eat any “food” produced by pepsi-co (including frito-lay and many, many others) or dole or general mills or nestle or kraft or countless others (please, please do your research) you are eating artificial nutrients- in the form of poisonous fertilizers- converted to a so-called edible state by energy from crude oil. i am sick, both emotionally and physically, from eating these things. these products are remarkably efficiently killing our planet and our race by depleting precious soil nutrients through irresponsible farming practice, pumping the atmosphere full of heat-retaining gas, poisoning our water supplies, destroying ecosystem balances and habitats globally, and filling us up with corn syrup and saturated fats and lab-manufactured chemicals with twelve-syllable names.
we have to take to the soil if we are to save ourselves. we must learn to feed ourselves before we starve under the colossal weight of our consumption.
i will be getting political on my farming blog. if you do one thing this weekend, it should be doing a bit of research on what the fuck you are eating and where it comes from.
