elements of the natural world in the urban landscape and musings of an amateur gardener planting in a teeny tiny backyard
Chapter Two
welcome readers, to the rebirth of backyard in brooklyn. i plan to continue to document the amazing growth of my garden, which this year is nearly double in size and includes more varieties of herbs and vegetables. additionally, i will focus on the profound presence of the natural world within city borders. while this is currently a hot subject for the media and public sentiment, i fear that we will soon have a huge green hangover and return to ignoring the possibility of connecting to the rhythm of the earth, which we cannot do lest we find ourselves homeless, without a grass bed on which to lay.

Excursions
Links! Some things I like, some things I talk about.
We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets. We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.
