A Universe in a Quadrant by Levi Bilderback, Garden Intern 2016

6/22/2016

Recently, the garden was divided into quadrants, and those quadrants are each under the care of members of the garden crew. I asked to look over the Northeast quadrant and Jacob has the Southeast, while Patricia takes care of the whole West side of the garden. Now I am in control of watering and tending a whole quarter of the garden, and I want it to be the best

I’ve never really been competitive, I usually just like the challenge of anything, and I don’t care what place I come in, if I win or lose. Either way I can learn something. But recently, I’ve wanted my quadrant to produce the most, and be the prettiest. I want all the plants to grow there that are beneficial and good, and I want it to be better than Jacobs.
​Tonight maybe, when all the lights around Songaia go out, I will put a fence around Jacob’s quadrant and release about 10 rabbits to eat whatever they want. I have also been spraying herbicides regularly on his quadrant. I’m determined to win, and I’m not scared to get dirty. But he started it first, just to be clear. He has been cutting holes in my protective rabbit fence, and I saw him buy moles from some shady guy and I haven’t seen the moles, but I know for a fact something is digging tunnels all under my quadrant. 
 I feel like I have been given control over a little piece of the universe, and I want the life there to be abundant and happy. I have so much life to nourish and think about, as well. I have to think about all of the bacteria and insects that are crawling around in there, and the plants and so-called weeds that are springing up everywhere. I want all of the life there to feel happy and fed, because it will give me nourishment spiritually and physically. ​
