Organic gardening is a Life Saver. It is an activity that gets us in touch with life itself
and how life grows through us. Organic gardening can begin with something as small as
growing a single beet in a pot. It can begin with going to your local Farmers' Market or source
of the freshest, most whole, most pure, most natural food you can find and through growing
a single food plant, affirm that your life too is intending to be more whole, pure, and natural.

There was once a time, not less than 150 years ago when all food would have been considered
organic, and now as we each move toward living lower and lower on the food chain, living
in harmony with the earth becomes a rally cry. We are each compelled to awakening the natural
instincts in us. Awakening these natural instincts go hand in hand with you again seeing
yourself as an organic gardener.

Try this: Grow a single beet. Put it in a pot. Keep the Beet. Eat the beet greens. Call your
beet Keep the Beet. Let your growing beet remind you there is only One Beat, and we are intended
by life to be part of it. Talk to your beet. Let it talk to you and give you messages. Enjoy eating its lovely
vegan fresh, whole, pure, natural greens. Let it affirm that you can grow your own food.


Do this every day: Step onto your balcony, or a suitable outdoor place where you Keep the Beet.
Make contact with your beet growing in a single pot.
Give it the finest soil you can find. Let the plant remind you, that your whole life
grows up from a good foundation that stands in healthy soil.
Water you single plant. Let watering remind you, to drink the finest, purest water every day.
Let watering remind you, to drink water now! Keep your beet in the sunshine. Remember it daily.
Use it as a way to remind you to remember that you too need to be out in the sunshine a bit
everyday. To do these things is to enter Plant Parenthood. As you parent a plant, the plant will
help reparent you.

Congratulations! You are now the organic gardener! Start small. Before you know it, your confidence will grow. Strive to find the balance between your diet and your lifestyle. As you tend bringing your lifestyle into balance, you too will find yourself able to live more and more vegan. You can get back into the lifestream that leads to a more and more fulfilling life through organic gardening. Keep the Beet. Life will thank you. Your Life will thank you. Do this, and you will be a Life Saver.

Leslie, I am finishing up a book about the transition to becoming vegan. Would you like to write up a half page to 3-4 page or so about the benefits of organic gardening? I would need it ASAP, if you would have the time. At the bottom you can use your name Enchanted Gardener and give a website address for the resources section. Please let me know if this is something that you would like to do. This book is being written for mainstream, so it is for the average person who would want to know about the difference in conventionally grown food and organic. Don't worry too much about the editing, as we can do that. If you are stating facts that need to be sourced, please give the source of researched information. Thank you, Marilyn
