Elderberries
Sprouts!
Peppers
Strawberries and Raspberries
Beef
Prickly pears and pomegranate. Because I can't really get them from the store in the same quantities, and they taste great. So I'm moving in this direction for now, trying to grow more exotic food, and if I do end up selling excess, margins will be better too.
Papaya?
I miss papaya a lot. Ripe or not I love it. Sweet when ripe and crunchy when not ripe yet. ðŸ˜
It is delicious and soooo hard to find around my town. Not one of the 5 grocery stores carry it. I experienced it on a salad bar at the beach last month and went into a higher state. Not one employee at the restaurant except one slender young woman knew what it was. To me, a cross between honeydew melon and blood orange (texture of melon), just fantastic! I think I could eat it mushy or crunchy.
aaawwweee. I find it here but the taste is never the same when it is fresh. So I miss it when I visit tropical countries where it usually thrive 🥰
Tomatoes
I have several trees.
Orange trees.
Apple trees.
Lemon trees.
Fig trees.
I get my beef&eggs&honey&milk from a local farmer close by.
I set him up with a LN and I’m building his personal strategic btc reserve while he’s delivering high quality real food.
I think we are winning
The food I grow, I grow for just in case & as treats. I have a lot of fruit trees that are getting close to fruiting but a man can't live well on fruit.
Looking forward to lychees, longans & mangoes in the coming months.
In 2020 when everyone was madly planting vegie gardens, I bought 2 x 300L freezers & filled them with meat.
I don't have the land to raise ruminants, so I did what I could.
Right now I'm establishing bannas, casava & taro to have as a source of starch. I don't plan to eat them much but they'll be there if I need them. Longer term if they're productive, I may use them to raise hogs for meat.
Nothing in food production happens instantly, it all takes time & effort. I'm learning through doing & accumulating plant genetics.
When Bitcoin does it's thing, I'll buy some pasture & start raising cattle. Then the learning will start all over again but I'll be bringing with me a lot of knowledge & plant genetics. You can't live on fruit but I enjoy eating it seasonally & it creates a beautiful landscape to live in.
