I think that it was William Butler Yeats (or maybe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) who wrote of the coming of the faeries; remember those dainty creatures that bless plants and gardens with abundance? With the dwindling of our seed varieties, I wonder where the plant devas have gone. Are they slipping off to Olympus with the other dwindled gods? Mercury is hawking flowers for FTD and I think I saw Apollo in an old episode of Star Trek.
In order to sustain ourselves, we need a wide variety of diverse kinds of plants. So, think about planting and saving some seeds. Join or create a seedbank for heirloom seeds. Invite the faeries and devas into your yard. They look so cute when they are perched on the big mushrooms.
