Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[tradingpost <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

Well it's hard learning to be philosophical about it all, and maybe it does come with age. They say you're only as old as you feel, but hey that's the problem...  I'm 70, but uneasy about it because I've never been this old before :-\ 

We have relatives wanting help to put up a greenhouse but don't take care of what they plant outside. I'm busy. Sometimes mkt customers want to volunteer to come and help to learn something. No, too much bother having anyone else around. Whatdoyado.

Hope the light bulbs work out well. A lot of stuff is anecdotal, true of life in general I think (was that a meta anecdote?) . Some of the extremes I've seen or read over the years have been more amusing than others.
I have friends who have rituals they follow religiously without ever having done a control or doing any fundamental research. A good part of the world thrives on rumor otherwise there wouldn't be a stock market.

My ego used to have a bigger investment in things, apparently it shrinks with age like everything else. I don't know that much and never have, but I have spent some time experimenting, reading, and even growing on my own. So I thought I knew important stuff (yeah right).

Now I'm just happy when people are interested in something other than sports, politics, cars, college, or the latest fashion.  I'm content just to help somebody plant a garden and decimate some imported ornamentals (I have been promoted to a work animal, a 2 legged draft horse or perhaps an ox). I'm happy to watch them make their own choices, I believe making their own choices (even poor ones) makes them happier (feel powerful or something) .
I like the fact that I don't inject my opinion as often, and ask more questions. I rely heavily on the phrase 'it depends' when someone asks me a question.


Good morning,
