Summering in the Garden... Down, down nto the hole where the Old Plum Tree once Stood. Is there anyone out there who can imagine doing such a thing your self?

Two times in a row.
Tried to get away from here
late afternoon yesterday,
the second day of summer.

The nieghbors white blossoming
Magnolia flowers the ones that make
bright red seeds that burst from
Yoni like compartments called me with
their delicate prefumery.

It was the last stop.
I had to show Carolyn
the new housemate
who is a bright UC student
that loves Permaculture.

Here major is Biological Anthropology
I can't say exactly what that is yet.

Then I showed her all the buckets of heirloom seeds
on the back porch in yellow large size Miso containers
and she was excited. What is a woman to do.
I get excited too. So much potential to grow
a whole new world.

She was asking for garden space
to grow some things.

Real women grow seeds
comes with the territory.
Gardening woman grow all kinds of seeds.
Quite essential if we are ever to see Paradise again
on Earth.

One Seed, one Seed Dream at a time
growing. That's all it takes to make a more
beautiful world..

Carolyn was my last stop.

I was heading out to Whole Foods to drop off
some signs to go with the lettuce that arrived
for the first time in the History of Peace on Earth
at our local Whole Foods Hillcrest.

The Whole Foods Markets are regional.
This means that the store in Alexandria Virginia
can have an assortment of eggs you would not
believe...big ones, small ones, yellow ones...

Ostrich eggs, Emu, wild birds, this and that
I do not know for sure which kinds, but I do knowat Morea
told me so.

Out here in our Whole Foods we just have the regular
assortment of eggs, but what they don't have
and we do, is fresh lettuce from Joe the Farmer.

Tomorrow is Local Growers Day and JR,
alias Joe the Farmer, also known as Joe Rodriguez
Jr, is going to make a personal appearance.

The locally grown fresh picked strawberry season
is over. Now we are moving into his many varieties
of lettuce--at least six.

I stopped cleanup yesterday and made a sign.
I went down and dropped it off. Ted from the La Jolla
Whole Foods was closing. The locals were out
on a trip to Vegas with Dave, our store team leader.

Back to the Garden.

Lots of work that last few days.
Wild Garden 27, humans 2 before a bit of overgrowth
removal.

That's exactly what I need now, overgrowth removal.
How many things can an Enchanted Gardener do at once?

There is a special guava in the meditation garden
that was suffocating and so was I.
Now it has space.

The old dead palm frons are gone off that tree,
and you can see the Medicine Wheel for the first
time in many years.

10:32 AM

My favorite Rosemary also in ball and chain
is now free. What a delight
and their is open space beside it
where an other herb could go.

I am going to ask Michael to redo the water lines,
laying soaking hoses in various places.

More Eden is going to grow here now.

Yummy.
Yummy.

I see new Vistas.
I see delightful new areas
observation points.

The centerpiece in my imagination
is this large hole, big enough to
climb into. That was where the old
Plum lived, the one that gave
oodles of the sweet fruit the year
that Penny walked naked here
with her baby Nadine.

The Plum had stopped giving
years before, but could not resist
the mother and baby born on the Spring
Equinox sixteen years ago.

So now there is this hole.

I see a woman crawling out of it.
Haven't a clue who.

Maybe it will happen at the party tomorrow
that celebrates five birthdays and more.

That's quite an image, a woman coming up
and out of a hole in the Mother Earth.

I see in through my Camera lens.

Then I see filling the hole with water.

I want to jump in.
I want to go under the water.
I want to get muddy
and not pay attention to all the germ theories
of the world.

I want to feel the water and the energy
of the hole all over me.
I want to never forget this hole
as long as I live.

If you want, you can go under too.

Your EG
