In her book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle Barbara Kingsolver says, "potatoes are homeland security." We agree! The more self-sustaining we become, in harmonious cooperation with our surrounding community, the more we free and independent!
This video demonstrates planting potatoes around an apple tree in the front yard of AWAKE Community president, Jason Brock. Now is the perfect time to plant potatoes for spring harvest. Try it!
Mira Mesa Mint, Otay Tarplant -- Recovering Despite Threats
"Earth laughs in flowers." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The yellow, purple and white flowers are vibrant. The myriad of smells from the plant life invigorating. The sweet sound of birds sing to the soul.
Today we visited the Jonas Salk and McAuliffe Vernal Pool sites in Mira Mesa -- two of the last natural land plots remaining on our paved and plowed mesa. We were awed by the quiet beauty hiding right in the middle of our happy suburbia.
These delicate flowers, both endangered species, seem oblivious to the threats of bulldozers -- offering the intricacy of their beauty to those who will observe and appreciate them.
“God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees,
and in the flowers and clouds and stars.” ~Martin Luther
