Have you noticed changes in our everyday environment<
        A friend in Alabama noticed the leaves began falling in August around the same time I “knew” it was fall. Another friend in Texas who was enjoying a good harvest temporarily stopped growing vegetables due to inability to keep up with water demand in July.
        The heat of this summer was much different than the high humid [muggy] 90s experienced in the 1950s. Living in the outskirts of NYC, near Jamaica Bay, one saw temperatures rising a degree at night, say from 97 to 98F. Plants and humans managed.
        This year in Eastern PA., temperatures fell from dry scorching 80s and low 90s during the day to 60s at night. It was hard to keep plants hydrated. The Sun was intense.
        Then, there was a switch to weaker sunlight, lower temperatures and a “rainy season”. Plants in raised beds were drowning as the beds filled during the night and garden walkways puddled from the unusual amount of precipitation. Many plants used to little moisture in the air did not survive.
        This was not the only influence on plant growth in 2022.
        Anastasis has modified the way plants are grown to improve the conditions of the planet as a whole. Some species in certain area are doing great, while certain species in certain other areas are not. Some germinated well, flowered beautifully, but never set a single fruit. Others set smaller fruit, such as tennis ball size watermelons, wonderfully tasting marble size tomatoes and lemon size cucumbers. Other species are growing quite well such as 6 foot tall wild spinach, sage, mint, basil, ornamental grasses, raspberries, fern, Rose of Sharon, Morning Glory. Some seeds never germinated. No matter how many attempts. Some came up from last year although the garden was unattended in 2021.

        What does this tell us?
        There appears to be some major changes in what grows and how. It may be advisable to grow food stuffs indoors and year round. Presently, flowering peas and sweet potatoes are growing in pots in the garden, along with a very productive cherry tomato plant with many golf ball size fruit instead of marble size.
        Planting more peas for indoor growth and wild spinach seeds for sprouting and leaf producing over the winter. Transplanting volunteer tomato plants and healthy herbs to the greenhouse and indoors to the library.
        Check with local growers. See what has grown well. See what didn’t. Ask how you can help so all have food to eat. We may all have to take a more active role in growing our food.
        And remember: we can share what we eat by intentionally sharing the benefits with others who are less fortunate.
