Enrenfried Pfeiffer an early Biodynamic Pioneer wrote, “How can it happen that the spiritual impulse, and especially the inner schooling for which you are constantly providing stimulus and guidance, bear so little fruit? Why do the people concerned give so little evidence of spiritual experience, in spite of their efforts? Why worst of all, is the will for action, for the carrying out of these spiritual impulses, so weak?” Rudolf Steiner replied, “This a problem of nutrition. Nutrition as it is today does not supply the strength necessary for manifesting the spirit in physical life. A bridge can no longer be built from thinking to will and action. Food plants no longer contain the forces people need for this.”

The bugs are out

After a relatively cool May, the soil seems to have warmed up and the bugs are out. The first evidence was when we saw cucumber beetles attacking some seedlings, but thankfully a few days later we also noticed a healthy ladybug population. We are constantly being challenged by nature and realize that we can't control it.

Plant growth seems to be speeding up every week. The weeds grow at a faster pace than everything else, which also means that our workload is increasing dramatically. We're in good spirits and couldn't ask for a better office to work from!
