Blades of Grass: How Fast Can They Grow? by YourEnchantedGardener .....

Blades of Grass: How Fast Can They Grow? This is a Children's Activity using wheat berries from Sun Grown Organics available from Suzie's Farm at various San Diego Farmers' Markets. The wheat berries are growing in compostable BioSmart Packaging made of 100% sustainable sugar cane bagasse, a by product of sugar cane growing. Growing wheat berries is a way to rekindle our excitement for growing some of our own food. We can grow wheat berries to see how fast grass will grow.

NEW MOVIE!!!!
KEEP THE BEET ASKS:
CAN WE GROW AS FAST AS a BLADE OF GRASS?




THANK YOU

Thanks to Chloe, Blake, and Amy Zirk of Green Pea Garden;
and our our hero Anthony Russo of BioSmart Packaging.
Anthony is partnering with Beet Keepers, Return!

Keep The Beet Media Star
The World's First Talking Beet Plant

to regain our beat with nature.

She wants us to reconnect with our roots.

She asks us on this very special day,
"How fast can blades of grass grow?"

A FAVORITE QUOTE ON GRASS
BY GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER

http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1749819



http://curezone.com/upload/Blogs/Your_Enchanted_Gardener/grass_quote.jpg



When I touch grass,
I touch eternity.
It existed long before there were human beings
on the earth, and it will continue
to exist for millions of years to come.
Through the grass,
I tallk to the infinite,
which is only a silent force.
This is not a physical contact.
It is not in the earthquake,
wind, or fire,
It is the invisible world of nature,
or which, I, too, am a part."
--George Washington Carver

as favorite quote that appears
in "THe Tender Touch"
and other books by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely

CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE WASHINGTON
ON REAL FOOD SAFETY
VIDEOS ON THE NEW PLANT YOUR DREAM WEBSITE
http://plantyourdream.net


THESE ARE OUR AIMS

1-To support mobilization of one Farmers’ Market in our local area, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego. To continue to work with local organic farmers and help them sell more of their produce.

2-To continue to develop a 1/3 acre parcel of land near San Diego State College named the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds where those who live here and who live around the world may study our process of learning how to keep the beat with nature through learning to live together cooperatively as a household that seeks to live in harmony with the earth. The motto of the house will be Keep The Beet. Through growing a simple beet in a pot, we can regain our beat with nature. Not all in the house garden. Some like to prepare food. Others help with other jobs, or rent. The land, as of January 2010 is being refinanced. A Trust to hold the land is being explored. The Seed Dream would be to leave a museum and park for future generations to learn from this experiment in cooperative living that has been going on since the early 1970′s. The intent is that what we learn here can help others, and Washington, understand and adapt to some of the shifts being asked of all of us now.

3- To develop relationships with those who influence Washington and government. A vast coalition across all political, religious, and philosophical lines has now formed. Mainstream media needs to be reached through bloggers filling the gap where journalism once told all points of view. Elected leaders need to be encouraged to follow the principles expressed in the song “America The Beautiful.”

4- We see the world as we know it now coming to an end. A Shift has already happened. It is for each of us to adapt to the earth and relearn the laws of nature, rather than attempt to further adapt nature to our ways. The source of our economic and health crisis is that we have lost our beat with nature. We can regain the beet through becoming once again a nation of gardeners who live in a world of gardeners. One Pot+One person=You are a Gardener. Start to grow your own food now.
