while the earth remains

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease," Genesis 8:22. While it is highly important to store grains and legumes to sustain your family in times of trouble, it is equally important to use the little land available on your town lot to plant edible landscaping. After all, you can't eat grass. Learn how to use grey water, composted plant matter and paper, wood chips, perennial vegetables, fruit trees, and berry bushes to create an eye-appealing, spirit-enriching, vitamin-forest which will bring out the roses on your children's cheeks. Refusing the king's meat and incorporating grains and legumes and fruits and vegetables from your garden, you will reap the positive rewards of the Word of Wisdom.
