A few months ago, I planned another blog to address a pet project of mine…but I can’t exactly be trusted to update this blog regularly, so what are the chances that I’ll manage two successfully? For that reason, the Vox Hortus blog is about to get pretty eclectic – chaotic even.
I already talk a lot about horticulture, agriculture, science and landscape aesthetics here. Then awhile back I added entomology and general biology, and after much deliberation added knitting – these are all things I spend a fair amount of time on. Another thing I do frequently is rail against the diabolical shadiness in advertising, most frequently the form that takes in the selling of food. Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver made an impression on me.
So at one time, I intended to create a blog for sustained railing in this same vein, but alas, I think I’m just going to go random and chaotic here at Vox Hortus, and God help you, on any given day, you won’t know what to expect. Don’t be mad.
On second thought, do be mad. Be mad that collectively, consumers are so passive, we can be told anything, and not only will we not reel in incredulity, not shake our fists or demand the truth, we’ll believe what is said and pays our money and takes our chances.
Bring it on!!! I’m excited about the new direction.
