Posted previously to me by another gardening buddy , GTO .

"This we know... the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to earth.
All things are connected, like the blood which connects one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life - he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
- Chief Seattle,1854

Love Mother Earth and treat her with respect for future generations to enjoy . Rock On BIG MAMMA EARTH !!!

So true Chooch, we're only borrowing a space on this planet for a short time and then we have to give it back.

Yep, great, and it does mean more today, sadly only for a few of us.

I've always thought of man as a steward of the land.

It is so sad to see so many shirk this responsibility. Once we became homeowners the first year we put in an elaborate vegetable garden and bought the yard tools to keep it all trim. I have neighbors who don't use or even mow their backyards and no kidding the weeds tower over their 6' cedar fences!!!!!

Good quote!
