I love this guy's attitude and perseverance in the wasteland he lives in. I know there are others like him. It's too bad we can't link them together and help them with seeds and such.

Seeds, Soil, and Care...and Bees of course. We need these for food, and then there won't be food deserts. Pass this video on to your FaceBook, etc.
