About this ebook

Wog's Garden is a mostly fictional account of Winslow Oliver Green's conversations with his friend Junior Fre. Both are enthusiastic gardeners and health nuts. Wog is a bit extreme in his conviction that gardening and well-being are tied to each other. Junior is somewhat more mid-spectrum and gets part of his food from a nearby supermarket.

The two friends have many conversations about gardening, health, and diet. They talk about values and goals and what makes life enjoyable. They don't have all the answers but often come up with interesting observations, some of which seem to be at least partial answers to how life can be made better.

Set in the near future, humanity and the average individual, are under stress. Resource depletion and the resulting rise in prices of energy, consurmer goods, and food, have changed some of the basic factors in people's lives. The consumer economy has contracted. Services and self-sufficiency now dominate. Small scale local agriculture and home gardening have become the means to deal with the changing world.

Wog and Junior are early adopters. That has made their lives at bit easier and less stressful. Wog grows most of his own food in his garden. His income is not nearly so much taken by the high food prices. His diet is not so much dependent on an increasingly burdened food distribution system with its marginally affordable prices. Junior's modest vegetable garden and higher than average income have made the high food prices less of a problem for him. The majority of other people are not so fortunate.

Resilience and the ability to change are increasingly important in a future that is becoming more challenging. Wog and Junior have made many changes. Adapting to change is the reason life is good for Wog and Junior.

Wog's Garden is fiction and entertaining, yet mostly logical and informative. It is an invitation to enjoy the process of becoming more resilient and better adapted. Adaptation enables us to enjoy whatever the future brings.

Alan Detwiler

Alan Detwiler grew up on a small farm. That background gave him some special insights and perspectives. The weather and the natural world are very much a part of living on a farm. On a farm, everyday observations demonstrate how plants and animals grow and develop and how weather and climate interact with living things. Alan and anyone growing up a farm knows that our food supply is very much dependant on how much it rains, when it rains, and how warm or cold it is. Any drastic change in climate and weather patterns will affect our food supply. Genetics and disease are topics of special concern to anyone living on a farm. Farm crops and farm animals are not the plants and animals of the wild. They have been genetically altered by human intervention. Farmers are especially aware of those differences and how genetics produce those differences. Farm animals are in constant threat of disease. It is not uncommon for farmers to loose substantial numbers of their animals to disease. People and the plants and animals we use for food are at risk. Farm living, plus an interest in science gave Alan the background for writing science fiction changes coming in the near future. Potential threats are very serious and are perhaps likely to drastically affect our lives. The consequences could be unpleasant, but why react with anxiety? Wouldn't a better reaction be to take action to be prepared and feel good that you have done so? The main themes in his writing are maximizing resilience through self sufficiency,self reliance, and how people prepare for and react to the changes of the upcoming decades. Alan writes to explore ideas and to discover ways to more enjoy life. He uses the ideas of others and adds what his own experiences and observations can contribute. Imagination adds new ideas for appreciating all that is good. His hope is that the readers of his books will do the same.
