March update #1
Jalapenos, Poblanos, basil and cauliflower (large plot) planted. Also, the tomatoes that I planed before may be coming up, assuming these are the sprouts you see in the photos.
Large plot was overgrown with weeds. Now it isn't. Achievement unlocked! Plot cleared!
State of the Garden (February)
I found my old camera and took some proper photos. Here you go. Betcha never saw celery in its natural habitat -- you know, out of the grocery store.
Also shown here are arugula (one flowering and lots of others), two types of lettuce, swiss & rainbow chard, bluebonnets (not yet bloomed), cilantro (a little wild), rosemary, and my greenhouse which I cleaned up for Spring.
Spring time
Spring time is here! Well, as far as I am concerned. My garden is still alive and the weather is beautiful. Time to plant!
Here are the tomatoes I saved from last crop. I did this last season as well and they all came up and produced fruit. Awesome!
I will try to take more pictures this year as the garden develops with a better camera (just pulled it out of the closet 'cause I am sick of this broken camera phone), but this will have to do for now.
I also planted potatoes and transplanted some extra lettuce plants to give away. Maybe I'll do more blow by blows in the future if I can remember. It is fun to look back like a little scrapbook.
Good luck on whatever you plant whether in gardening or life.

The Mask of Money
Money is part of the scene.
What do I mean by the scene?
The scene is the moving frame of your unified life. And what is your unified life? What is UNITY?
UNITY, in this context, is the unification of all of your experience. This includes your five senses, your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions, definitions, meanings, memories, the ideas of others or others themselves, the world or universe or space that is unseen to you, your senses of intangible or "subtle" things like time, distance or movement, the relationships between all of these things — everything that occurs in your “qualia.” There are no exceptions.
You may have a problem understanding unity if you make arbitrary exceptions for tough concepts like people ("The Other"), or the agency these people possess, or their memories or their influence or impact on your life. Other tough ones can include nature itself and your bodily health.
Nothing can be exempted. Nothing. OK? Nothing. Not even nothing itself.
Money is not something you can pursue or acquire. You are not in the scene.
You cannot possess it, anymore than it can possess you. You cannot separate, or divide, something without fundamentally changing its nature which is always whole.
Should you dedicate yourself to the acquisition of money, you have fallen off of your throne in order to become part of your scene, rather than the director of that scene. I call this fixation and some beliefs call it density. Other philosophies may measure it in terms of wisdom or a scale of harmony or balance you hold within as you become more actualized and are able to distinguish where you truly reside.
Once you become part of the scene, then the scene becomes your director and you have lost your power. The harder you commit to being part of the scene, the more entangled and dependent you will become. This entanglement hides the path to your true

Feeling good.
Let's get some historical records going in here and see where we are next year.
