I am insecure about a great many things, but my work ethic isn't one of them.

I can worry a problem into submission.

Of this I am supremely confident.

But, I must report, my yard is full of weeds.

Laziness?

I am growing food to eat.

I am experimenting with eating things untouched by chemicals.

These plants grow in boxes – large and small - throughout my yard.

They are modestly prospering.

If I could figure out how I cultivated such a heaven for weeds –

and apply it to the calorie reaping plants –

hunger in the Southwest would be a thing of the past.
