Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Laura McKenzie" <laurabrownmckenzie@worldnet.att.net>]

Intangibles:

   *  Integrity is something I feel when I garden because I'm holding to my 
values.

   *  We regularly use our garden as a teaching tool for homeschooling (we 
have a decent microscope for instance) and we're teaching our children the 
worth of integrity and good work. Its also a time for family togetherness. 
We make garden work a fun time together rather than painfully hard.

   *  Peace and serenity comes to me when I'm working in the garden.  I get 
a great feeling of accomplishment as well as happiness.

   *  Health comes from working in the garden as well as from eating what 
we produce.

   *  I am challenged, very challenged sometimes <lol>, by gardening. 
Trying to figure out where I'm going wrong is like doing a puzzle and keeps 
my brain going.

   I'm sure there are more but I'm hurrying to turn off the computer before 
a big thunderstorm heard in the distance arrives.  So I can't think of what 
my time in the garden is worth.  I think my garden is priceless! 
Friendships I've gained through gardening are equally priceless.
