We have created a civilization that one must earn thousands of dollars, then he can live like a gentleman. Is that successful life? And for earning thatthousands of dollars he has to work so hard, just like animal, beast.No. That is not successful life. Successful life is that, that weshould make our bodily necessities of life as far as required, notmore than that. I want to eat something. God has given sufficientfood. You grow. You live anywhere. You grow foodstuff. You growgrains. You grow fruits. You grow vegetables. Keep cows. Take milk.You can live anywhere. You haven’t got to go fifty miles off with acar to attend your office at six o’clock with velocity of hundredmiles’ speed. Is that successful life, do you think? So where issuccessful life? We are proposing successful life.
4 seasons planting is what is going on here in these two pictures. The above photo is the greenhouse in early summer filled with tomato plants-about 85 of them, as well as pepper starts in the pots along the path.
Below is the present greenhouse with all tomatoes removed and a multi-cover crop laid down in 2 out of 4 beds. The third bed has plastic covering the dirt and beans are drying temporarily there. The last bed has crimson clover coming up (still in seed form) for about 80% of it, and along the inside edge, we have 6 kinds of winter greens and lettuces already seeded in the ground.
