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.”

Early July Field Report

Peppers, tomatoes and potatoes are all looking strong. The tomatoes have already started to set fruit and so have the peppers.



Tomatoes

The corn is also looking good. The first planting is almost 4 ft high. Hopefully we can keep the deer away from it!

The deer continue to challenge us. We had hoped they would have stayed on the chard but this past week they moved on to lettuce. That led us to try one more step to deter them, a product made out of mint and rosemary oil that is certified for organic growers. So far so good.

I am finding fawns between the two fences on a regular basis and today I was able to document the incident, which will be forwarded to the proper authorities!
