Mother Earth’s Garden

Gardening Leap

by linette on February 26th, 2008

Since this year is a leap year it’s a great time to reflect on where you’re going with your garden. Where will you be in your gardening efforts in 4 years, where were you 4 years ago?

I have  always leaned toward gardening naturally and organically, but I think I pay more attention now to where my seeds come from, and what is in the soil I start my seeds in than I did four years ago.

I pay more attention to where the produce I purchase comes from, I buy locally whenever possible and I buy organic produce whenever I can find it.

Where will gardening be in four years? More and more people are adopting organic gardening methods, and avoiding chemical fertilizers and pesticides. I hope for the sake of the Earth this trend continues to build.

Maybe by the next leap year gardening with chemicals will be a thing of the past. I think more and more people are realizing what affect chemical fertilizers and pesticides are having on our environment.

Where is your garden headed? How do your garden methods compare now to four years ago? What will your garden be like four years from now?
