In my many journeyings through the internet (to my wife's chagrin) I felt the need to find an alternative meaning for the word "fertile". I opened up my thesaurus and found the word "fecund". Merriam-Webster defines it this way:
Pronunciation: 'fe-k&nd, 'fE-
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin fecundus -- more at FEMININE
1 : fruitful in offspring or vegetation : PROLIFIC
2 : intellectually productive or inventive to a marked degree fecund imagination
synonym see FERTILE
I thought that this unusual word would be the perfect describer for this unusual blog. I hope I can do it justice in the weeks and months to come.

Fecund sounds and looks like fecal, which is what immediately popped into my head when I was tryingto figure out what thetitle of your blog meant. But, fecund definately piqued my curiosity and made me read through the blog. So, I must say "Good Title."
At first glance, "fecund" makes me think of "fecal", so when I see "fecund ground", it makes me think of "ground that has been pooped on". Now that I've seen the real definition of "fecund", I'm that much more educated. Thanks.
