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.”

Onions

We managed to get over 1,000 onions in the ground on wednesday; much more than we had anticipated. It was nice to have two CSA members help us, and they certainly made it possible to get all the onions planted in one day.

It looks like we're about to get some much needed rain, which will not only help the plants but will also give us some time to rest as well. There'll be lots of planting next week and we welcome any volunteers who would like to help out and experience farming.

Planting day

It was a beautiful day out today and we managed to get a lot of planting done. Beds of beets, carrots, peas, radishes and spinach were planted today. We also prepared a few more beds for tomorrow's planting, turnips. Jack invited two volunteers to the farm this morning and we were glad they came and helped us in the morning.

Jack tills the soil as Jeanine and Pedro level it off with rakes.
