screw scorpius

sarah wants us to buy a share in a CSA. for those of you who don't live in towns with more than one "tobacco paraphernalia" store, CSA stands for "community supported agriculture". basically, it's an investment in a farm for a share of the produce. like buying stock, except the only green you see is in the form of spinach, kale, arugula, etc. all the farms are organic (meh), and some are biodynamic.

what is biodynamic farming? well, essentially, it's hyper-organic. plus they use the astrological calendar to determine harvest days. and they use the homeopathic and memory properties of certain herbs. from the wikipedia article (above):

Pests such as insects or field mice (Apodemus) have more complex processes associated with them, depending on what pest is to be targeted. For example field mice are to be countered by deploying ashes prepared from field mice skin when Venus is in the Scorpius constellation.

seriously?! seriously?

we are going to get one though (not the biodynamic one... i got a bad feeling out of antares this cycle), and we are going to have so many damn vegetables.
