Those of us who maintain a connection with nature see this clealry. Too many people no longer have a direct connection with the natural world. This allows fantasies to take grow and spread. Soil health, moisture, frosts, insects and plant diseases. These are just not part of common knowledge or even in the vocabulary anymore. Yet, we depend on them as much as ever. Thank you for sharing your insights. I have a garden in Madrid and I look for shade in a way I never thought I would back in Maine. I was digging a garden bed yesterday barefoot and in shorts! it sounds idyllic but it is actually frightening.
