YOUR BOTANICALS ~ A 4 10 ACROSTIC SONNET

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

WE ALL DEPEND ON PLANTS TO LIVE ! The picture shows grapes growing in the RIOJA region of NE Spain. ANGELAS Papa is a SPANISH - Wine Merchant. The Sun & the Soil are ideal to produce RIOJA TINTA ~ Vino del Dios ! The VIDEO is for Key stage 5 (aged 16) and explains the symbiosis between Plants & Animals. When one sees the Complexity of the Science & Maths & Languages & IT etc syllabi for GCSE ~ It give one a glimpse of the difficulties of *Home Schooling* older Teenagers ! This is why BORIS is anxious to get them ALL back into School. Primary School teaching is also a *BLACK ART* !   

 

Y OU SHOULD NEVER ~ Take plants for granted ~ They*re

O ur essential *source of food* for Man & Beast

U nhurried they grow ~ just where they*re planted

R emember oft to water them ~ for use to Drink & Feast !

 

B OTANICALS ~ First things in Mother Natures Food Chains

O ATS & BARLEY ~ WHEAT for flour - cakes & bread

T he Grass that feeds our Cattle in the Valleys & the Plains

Always respect the FLORA ~ wherever she be spread !

N ice & simple is the Process ~ that produces Food

I  t  takes CO2 & H2O and Energy ~ shines from the SUN ~ Green 

C HLOROPHYLL*S the catalyst makes GLUCOSE* ~ very good 

A LL for FREE (except the Field) ~ To make your HOT CROSS BUN ! 

L OTS of Minerals & Vitamins ~ in Veggies & in Fruit

S O *Five-a-Day* will keep you FIT & HEALTHIER to boot !

 

Thanks for visiting comments welcome Love Angela & Brian 💛💛

 

*GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) is the first nutrient formed in PHOTOSYNTHESIS ~ In a simple Chemical Equation   6H2O  +  6CO2  =  C6H12O6  +  6O2  Note that Plants take in CO2 and give out O2 (oxygen) !  Animals do the opposite. Before the Industrial Revolution this maintained the CO2 level @ 260 ppm. It is now 450 ppm due to increased Technology (which produces CO2) and Deforestation which results in GLOBAL WARMING ! In the Plant Glucose is polymerised into STARCH (for food) & CELLULOSE for plant fibre and Animal Foodstuff. In the UK this process is studied @ Key Stage 4 & 5 for GCSE.  Basically its all quite SIMPLE but unfortunately Governments don*t act on it. One solution is to eat less meat and use *Grazing Land* to grow Grain & Fruit & Veggies ~ it all make sense !

        It does make sense. There are thankfully conservationists, environmentalists, etc, helping and doign their part.
        Fido does his part too. He waters some trees by..... woof! He said it's Too Much Info to say how he does it. lol.

          Good Montag - Uncle Steve. We all have to understand that Planet Earth is a dynamic living System and everything - The Environment - Man & the Flora & Fauna are in a State of Dynamic Equilibrium. If a constraint is applied - like increased atmospheric CO2 - The system (GAIA) moves to oppose the constraint (Global warming) and restore Equilibrium. There are MAN MADE solutions to MAN MADE problems ~ AMEN !

          Buy a GCSE Combined Science Book and
          all your Science Problems will be Solved !
          Blessings & Joy to You & Professororial Pup !
          Spirit Love - Angela - Brian - El Gato Ahumido !!!

            Living beings? You been into some churches?! I have - I yelled out 'Anyone alive in 'ere?' Well, yes, but it was the sermon, so they were asleep. The sidesman chucked me out for waking them up. Doh!
            I don't reckon these Yin and Yang fellas have too much to do with the theme of this poem. I don't know the guys. Or are they two gals? Or one guy and one gal?

            Me again - you lost me rather, at that 'algebra' bit: CO2 etc!

          • L. B. Mek

            such an informative and vitally important write,
            though it is hard to incorporate a healthy diet when we're busy, due to convid19 and its enforced spending budget shrinkage, I hope more and more people are eating home cooked meals with an eye on consuming a more balanced diet,
            maybe a silver lining to the nightmare that has been 2020

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              Good Afternoon Friend - Thnaks for your encouraging reply . Yes we would all be healthier with more Fruit & Veg in our Diet & it cheaper too ! Fast Food is big culprit especially for increasing obesity ! More people eating @ Home could be a blessing in disguise !

              Blessings & Joy & Peace to You & Yours
              Love Angela & Brian & Smokey ! ! !
