Why does a dying man plant seeds?
So he doesn't die.

Live in each season as it passes; breath the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Be blown on by all the winds. Open all your pores and breathe in all the tides of nature, in all her streams and oceans, at all seasons. Grow green with spring-yellow and ripe with autumn.

Drink of each season's influence as a vial, a true panacea of all remedies mixed for your especial use.

Drink the wines not of your own but of nature's bottling-not kept in a goat- or pig-skin, but in the skins of a myriad fair berries.

Let Nature do your bottling, as also your pickling and preserving. For all nature is doing her best each moment to make us well. she exists for no other end. Do not resist her. Why, nature is but another name for health.

Some men think that they are not well in Spring or Summer or Autumn or Winter, (if you will excuse the pun) it is only because they are not indeed well, that is fairly in those seasons.

Dare to Dig In

A guide for beginning gardeners
By Miranda Smith

Growing your own food may seem daunting if you've never done it. But don't let your lack of experience keep you from discovering the joys — and the ease — of a kitchen garden.

Everyone who has ever eaten a homegrown tomato knows it can taste better than any other tomato on Earth. And tomatoes are just the beginning — once you start growing for yourself, you can explore the many small specialty companies that offer seeds for plants you can't find in any store. Many of these plants produce crops that are too fragile to ship in good condition, or too unusual for a farmer to count on selling, so they remain largely unknown to people other than gardeners.
