No garden should be without turnips:
Turnip for meetings
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another
Water freely with patience and Cultivate with love.
I am reminded of deTocqueville, that great admirer of American individualism who, nevertheless, admonished us that despots may take advantage of our desire for independence. He said, that we needed to come together for better government and a better life:
"When the public govern ... Pride must be dissembled; disdain dares not break out; selfishness fears its own self. ." ~ Alexis deTocqueville
