I've done my share of gardening out there in the yard. The usual list of things roses, hydrangeas, peaches, herbs (and only recently THE HERB). Tonight we enjoyed sliced tomatoes picked still warm from the sun and perfectly ripe, basil from my basil "shrubs" red onions and I didn't grow the balsimic vinegar. I was a composter before composting was cool and continue. A colleague is an avid walleye fisherman and when he hooks a carp of some other less desirable fish he brings them to me and I see that they get a decent burial.....in my compost pile. I love the smell of blood meal in the morning. Sooooo today I started questioning my choice to be so damn organic. I'm no food fanatic...I confess to being a foodie though as I love food to taste more than just good. I wanna go ooo AHHHH with every bite and succeed more than I fail. There's a question in here and here it comes. The chemicals are the chemicals are the chemicals and our little green and yellow buddies (anyone in here old enough to have listened to "Call Any Vegetable" by the iconic Frank Zappa??? Doubt it! On vinyl??? Not likely!) So what's the big deal? (he asked himself) And I'm not surehow to answer. I know where all those Jamaican Bule Mountain coffee beans in there came from, the watermellon rinds orange peels the lime wedges, chomped on to prevent scurvey (and accompany the tequila). What IS the big deal? I know I hate to buy a hydroponically grown tomato in December when there's 2' of snow on my car and have it be the most beautiful eye appealing specimen of a tomato I have ever seen......and it tastes like a damp paper towel. Discuss............
