Blog Action Day: Three things gardening can teach you about the earth

Colleen Vanderlinden, of In The Garden Online, writes about the three lessons she learned about the environment from gardening organically, as part of Blog Action Day.

  • Lesson #1: Once chemicals of any kind are dumped on a piece of land, it takes a very, very, very long time for the soil to recover.
  • Lesson #2: Strawberries do not grow in Michigan in December. Or November, January, February, March and April.
  • Lesson #3: "Normal" is pathetically abnormal.
Please read Vanderlinden's full story for more on these lessons, they are fascinating.
