Hillside Farming in China

My daughter and my grandson have a garden plot in downtown Vancouver which they faithfully tend to almost daily. Although their plot is quite level, it reminded me of seeing people along the Yangtze River tending to plots on the side of a hill. I took a boat cruise from Chongqing to Yichang which was a journey of 3 days. I always remembered the steepness of the hill these "farmers" were working, and wondered how the plants felt about growing up sideways:-)

  1. I imagine that if the farmers plant crops by choosing different color artistically, the hill would be a huge great art work! So the plants would feel they are all brushstrokes!

    I went to Emily Carr University to regist the two courses this morning. It was very busy but nice on Granville Island. I like there.
