Okay, I feel very passionate about this recommendation.
1. The global food crisis scares me WAY more than the oil crisis. Why not plant your own little tomatoes, corn, and peas just in case you can't get any from the store or the crops cover themselves in salmonella ....oh wait, that ALREADY HAPPENED.2. Aside from food-producing plants, ANY plant makes the world a better place. Plants and flowers and trees help balance the CO2 levels so that we can inhale and exhale every couple seconds. Plus, everything is prettier. Plus, everything smells better. Plus, who doesn't love fresh-cut flowers (see previous post)?
3. Dear Bees,
Please don't die. If you die, we will all die......ALBERT EINSTEIN estimated that "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left." So, even though you sting and annoy us. We need your honey for good PBH toast and we need you to even exist.
Sincerely,
HUMANITY
PS: Burt's Bees and Pollinators worldwide are trying to help.
In conclusion, not only does gardening help your starving stomach, continue the earth's CIRCLE OF LIFE, as well as perpetuate pollination to save the dying bees to prevent your children's deaths, BUT it also soothes your soul. Working with dirt and little delicate roots always makes me happier. AND it gives me a mild workout. AND it gives me a tan. WOW...this list goes on and on...SO BASICALLY, GARDENING WILL SAVE EVERYTHING.

Dear Bees,
Die. See if I care.
Love,

One day, I would love to have a big, beautiful garden. But for now with our limited space we have an herb garden on our deck and it is awesome! We brought it inside last year and had fresh herbs all winter long- YUM! You should go hang out with my mom- her garden is amazing- she's a plant whisperer.
This save-the-world Annie-style is my new favorite thing---I only wish I had a garden to keep up with your recommendations! As it is, I'm stuck in a flat without even a flowerbox, though the weeds grow rather nicely up between the porch stones. Oh well. I'll start with the bees, I guess.
i love my garden except sometimes i get so hot when i bend over. enjoy all the pretty flowers in france too! love, gretchen
