Carpenter’s Column: While I sit sharpening my shears

All things seem possible in May. — Edward Way Teale

In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created. — Andrew Weil
