It was not that long ago that this was to be the Jetson-age with flying cars and push-of-the-button home cooked meals.While, these are possibilities, they are not yet mainstreamed into society. What is a mainstream is the need for conservation via recycling, reusing, and renewing our various resources.The Earth is such a precious commodity, and we are destroying it at breakneck speed. For many of us, this is a worrisome feat, but one that we feel helpless to change. After all, what can one person do? The answer is: gardening organically. Investing in a composter allows for kitchen waste to be decomposed into nutrient-rich soil to be used in producing healthy fruits and vegetables. Investing in rain barrels allows for precious water, free of the pollutants placed in it from the cities and municipalities, to be collected and used again to water our plants and yards. Investing in insect repellents that are organic and non-toxic will allow you to feed your family with peace of mind- after all, you are feeding them food grown without being covered in chemicals. My grandfathers garden was tucked behind the side of the house. But, he had packed it full of green beans, potatoes, peppers, corn, and my favorite- tomatoes. He had other goods that he grew on a regular basis and a few that he experimented with each year. Yet, my memories of this garden are not of the produce but the time spent with him caring for the fruits and vegetables. This gardening time was a way to form relationships with each other and the land we live. As my daughter is turning three, she has enjoyed working in both our garden and her grandparents gardens. We are continuing the tradition of forming relationships with each other and the land, all surrounded by the fruits of our labor. Where do you start?
