...of the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return." Yep, that's what the Lord said to Adam 'back in the day,' as Genesis 3:18-19 records...yeah, Adam was a real guy and God is for real...just sayin'!! ;)Anyway, for all my gardening FB Friends, I thought you might have an interest in the productivity of the soil near the Grey Havens here at Camp Cornelius. Others of you will just write this off as more quackery, but living 'on the Edge' for the last 31 of my 60 years has gotten me kind of use to being considered eccentric.
So, if 'you are what you eat'...I guess I resemble the larger part of this list, especially the jalapenos and raspberries that don't appear terribly popular with my local brethren/sistren:
Leaf Lettuce: 19 gallon bags
Mesclun Mix Lettuce: 4 quart bags
Radishes: Round red, 220/long white, 22
Zucchini: 4...not a good year for them
Cucumbers: 53
Summer Squash:
Yellow & Green Beans: 34 dozen
Cherry Tomatoes: 38 dozen
Cherry Tomatoes for green tomato pie: 12 dozen
Full size Tomatoes: 62
Green Tomatoes for frying: 20
Jalapenos: 6 dozen
Grapes for grape pies: 12 pounds
Wild Raspberries from fence rows: 4 pints
Well, if nothing else, I've dropped 23lbs in 6 months between the good eating, the exercise my job entails, and the benefit of SENSA as a weight control program. I guess that's how, even in the Curse, God was showing some grace as the 'sweat of your face' helps burn off unnecessary fat...
Got red meat to eat with yer jalapenos? ;)
