Default I grew a "California Organic" labeled Beet

Pulled up a beet today, and noticed while washing it that it had a
firmly attached clearly readable "California Organic" oval label on
it. The label must have come off an avacado skin or something which had
gone through my 2 year composting process. Then, the beet grew
against it. It looked like it just came from the store.

I hate those labels.


Yep.

I try to do my part and compost, and those labels are often
very hard to remove to throw in the garbage.


Yep.

I am constantly picking them out of
the compost as I spread it, but you can't get them all.


Yep.

I propose a law
requireing that such labels be quickly compostable. I'd prefer they
were outlawed.


Yep.


Speaking of organic , can I consider muscadines that grew wild out in the
woods "organic" ? Do I have to use "organic" sugar and yeast to have the
results considered "organic" ? Does organic wine get you an organic high ?
Or should I just drink it and not worry about it ?

Slow night at
The 12 Acre Wood
And I've been out in the woods picking muscadines . Got 3+ gallons picked
so far .
