Barry Logan of the La Milpa Oranica Farm Community
is one of three main Beet Growers whose beets will be honored
in the opening ceremony at the 2010 Cultivating Food Justice
Conference in San Diego April 24-25. The project to grow
a beet in a pot began in an inspiration to create a Moment
of Awakening among shoppers. With a water crisis on our hands,
numbers of the local farmers faced water shortage. Through
growing just one beet in a pot, we regain confidence we
can grow a bit of our own food. We also become more
sensitized to the need to support local organic farmers.
JR Organics, and Sage Mountain Farms are the two other
Beet Keeper growers. All there can be found at the
Hillcrest Farmers' Market on Sundays and throughout
So Cal.
INTRODUCTION
This Plant Your Dream Blog
reviews the Instructions for
How to Root Your Dream
with Beet Seeds and a Larger Beet Root.
TRANSFERING ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS
FROM ONE WORLD TO ANOTHER
It is a few days following the 2010 Cultivating Food Justice Conference.
I am reminded of a principle that can be used
to transfer memory, conscious recall, and continuity
from one moment in time to another.
Have you ever recognized how over you have
a peak experience and how quickly
this experience fades?
When you plant a seed with deep intention
in one place in a pot, and then carry a pot to another place
where it is tended, it establishes a living relationship
and keeps the experience alive.
Every time, you water the plant that is growing,
you are grounding and keeping alive the experience.
In our fragmented world,
this is how to create continuity between the
inner world of dreams and the outer world of full expression.
OPENING THE BOX!!!
The Soul is in the Box,
covered by wounds.
Sometimes when you open the box,
a lot of deep feelings can out.
This video was made last Christmas
as the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community.

Hi Leslie
I hope all is well with you.
Thought you might enjoy seeing my seed dreams growing.
I have a nice beet leaf salad from this blessed plant every week.

Q AND A:
Q: Thank you for the instructions on caring for the beets/seeds/sprouts.
I planted my large beet so that the top was just showing at the top of the dirt level.
Is that OK, or should I have buried it completely.
A: Yes, That is the way to do it.
Plant a beet with a larger root in a larger pot.
Q: The Beet Seeds I planted in the
White Pot are about two inches high.
When should I plant them in a bigger pot?
A; Often, when we pull the Seed Dreams
out of the silver box, and you get a larger beet root
as well, It would be good to transplant the beet seeds
and the larger beet root as soon as possible.
It is good to plant them, in a larger pot, even
before the seedlings come up.
You can also grow them in the white pot,
to get a sense that you can take care of the
beet seeds, and make them sprout.
I have had them grow for a couple months in the
small white Biosmart compost friendly pots,
but they do not grow well
beyond a certain stage.
It o.k. to transplant them carefully as well
in a larger pot. Some experienced gardeners
prefer to put them in the ground.
I have had larger beet roots that I have repotted
growing for many months in a pot that is 12 inches
in diameter or so.
The beet greens will continue to grow for many months.
The perferably method is to get a local, organic beet
from an organic farmer at the Farmers' Market, and
eat the greens, and then repot the beet.
It will continue to grow.
Beet Roots: Get your beet root from a local organic farmer,
whenever possible. Eat the greens. Repot
the beet root. Connect the beets energetically
with the seedlings in your white pot.

SAY THIS PRAYER
Sacred Seed!, Sacred Root!
I hold you in my hands and hold you as my future.
Thank you for representing wishes I am planting.
As you grow, so will my seed dreams.
Growing you will help me celebrate the harvest
in my life. Thank you for reminding me
I am a Sacred Seed. Thank you for reminding me
that the universe thrives as I thrive.
Today we grow a new Enchanted Garden,
a renewed Earth!
Today I am Planting My Dream!
Today I am Planting a Beautiful Tomorrow!
As the Beet Grows, So We All Grow!
The larger beet root needs to go in a bigger pot, and the little ones can be transplated around it,
The larger beet, when planted in a larger pot
will containue to put up greens for a long time,
The smaller ones connect with the energy of the larger seed. The energy is transfered from the smaller seedlings
to the larger beet root. If I did not give you a larger beet root, ge one and plant it. Transfer the energy from the
the smaller roots to the larger. Sometimes, when you transplant from the little pot, this is like doing a surgery.
They will only stay vital in the small pot so long.
The idea is that they come up. You did really great.
Carefully cut away the white pot and put it in the bigger pot. Do not be discouraged if some of the tiny roots
falter.
When you transfer the smaller sprouts to a larger pot,
mentally transfer the energy of the seed dream as well.
The little seedlings may continue to grow.
It not, the energy of the dream is now in the larger beet.
BEET SEEDLINGS
Enjoy the thrlll of your Seed Dreams sprouting in
one of the Bagasse Sugar Cane pots. transfer your excitement
that you helped some seeds grow to a larger beet root. Get a larger
beet root preferably from the a local, organic farmer at the Farmers'
Market. Transfer some of the tiny beet seedlings as best you can
to the larger pot as well. Do your best not to disturb the root system.
The main goal is to transfer the energy of the seed dream to the larger
root. Some of the seedlings may not make it. This is too be expected.
You are succeeded.
Take the beet greens off the larger beet root. Eat these steamed
or some raw. Repot this beet root. It will send up more and more shoots.
You can harvest some of these from time to time. Have more than one
pot if you want to keep eating the beet greens. This project is called
Keep The Beet.
Develop a communication with your Beet Root.
Expect dreams. Put on your magical thinking cap
and allow it to speak to you.
POTTING SOIL
The best soil I have found so far
is called Foxfarm Ocean and Forest Mix.
The white pots are from
Biomart, one of my sponsors.
You can order this pot at this site.
They are made of sugar cane by product
called Bagasse. There are many kinds for
other uses. They are intended to replace
styrofoam.
I generally give each person two pots.
The inner pot needs drainage holes.
The outer pot can have a design.
These pots are compost friendly.
They will desiningrate in numbers of months.
The industry of making the pots supports
200 or more small farmers in Asia.
The pots make a wonderful kid project.
here is also a lid to keep the soil from
spilling.
You can order the pots here;

KEEP The MEET Media Star,
The World's first Talking Beet Plant
was in the news again this week!!!
The writer is BROOK LARIOS.
Brook really captured the essence
of KEEP The BEET:
According to Leslie Goldman, a San Diego-based activist passionate about healthy living through the art of drawing closer to the Earth, the beet is one of the easiest vegetables to grow. He spreads the word about this concept through Keep the Beet Media Star – a mascot of sorts that has drawn attention from locals, diplomats and celebrities like model Ashley Van Dyke and actor Ed Begley Jr., known for his dedication to the environment. Keep the Beet and Goldman’s message is traveling so widely that they earned a piece of cyberspace last year on The Huffington Post, continually one of the highest-ranked political websites on the Net.
“I’m playing with the story of an actual beet that decided
she was tired of just sitting in the ground, watching
the human race become more and more fragmented,
and the beet, whose name is Keep the Beet, decided to speak up,”
said Goldman, also known to friends as The Enchanted Gardener.
Keep the Beet encourages people to make friends with a local,
organic farmer; purchase the largest beet they can find
and repot it, keeping it alive as it sprouts billowing, edible green leaves.

Have you ever recognized how over you have

When you plant a seed with deep intention

where it is tended, it established a living relationship
between the experience that was a peek into another
experience. At the event, I planted seeds in this
pot, I am going to water them now to keep the
seed alive.
