In which I introduce my readers to Nostr. #grownostr #inviteyourfriends

Here's 2 newbie Alby questions:

1. What are the green arrows on the left of the tips? (and thank you for them! I promise I will figure out how to do likewise)

2. Some of sats have a gray arrow on the right...what are those?

So, I originally ordered daikon radish seeds to seed and build better soil… my beautiful and awesome wife planted them in one of our raised beds, not knowing my plan for them, fast forward to today when she pulled one and now we are wondering, what is some things you would use it for in the kitchen?

Have you tried fermenting them? https://culturesforhealth.com/blogs/recipes/fermentation-recipe-lacto-fermented-daikon-radish-garlic

Today I did lots of catch up, mainly outdoor stuff, but also some paperwork indoors. We're starting to get bnb bookings for the big antiques show in Round Top. The next show is not until October, but some folks like to plan ahead to make sure they find a place to stay. Everything fills up as it gets closer to that time. Anyway, another busy day is over. I'm glad that I started using nostr, because it lets me have a little diary of sorts. I hope you folks dont mind my ramblings about my simple country life in Texas. Good night nostr friends. #grownostr #bnbstr #homesteading #countrylife.

I like your ramblings! Good night to you.

Today turned in payment and work request for a book cover. My next book is all about how to homeschool without (a) losing your mind and (b) robbing your kid of their childhood. I've graduated four homeschoolers so far and I'm confident they're gonna do all right in the world (even if we never finished a complete textbook).

(Post attempt number two...in case you see duplicates).

We get a lot of our food outside of the grocery store...farmer food drops in town (like this pic), CSA, bulk buys, independent meat producers...I like knowing our farmers/producers and they like knowing me. If you need help finding local food, the Weston A Price Foundation has local chapter leaders all over, and they keep lists of what to find and where.

In 2011 i went to buy just one cat. When i got there I found these two together. They came from a litter that was dropped off, they never knew their mother. When i heard their story I couldn’t separate them so I adopted them both. Penny and Sheldon. They were inseparable, Sheldon was a goof, and she was the level headed one, always looking out for him.

One day I left the roof door open and Sheldon left, never to return. Penny was never the same after that. She became reclusive. I think Penny blamed Vanessa. She hisses whenever shes around. She hates the world. She hates the move… but the end of the day I think she’s just a softie who misses her brother 🥲

oh this makes me so sad, same here...one brother gone, one brother left and very sad :(

I bought one of those inexpensive little solar fountains to put in a birdbath, and it works surprisingly well. The pidgeons seem to appreciate it. #grownostr #pidgeons #countrylife #homesteading

I've never heard of a solar fountain! What a good idea, I'm going to look into that.

Got my order of coffee today from @satscoffee

San Pacho is fantastic and I haven't tried Satoshi Blend yet. Get yours with bitcoin on their site or from @OshiApp

Also, try and think of something to produce so you can also enter the producer side of bitcoin economy. Also check out my artisan maple syrup you can get for bitcoin(great as coffee sweetner). Prices pinned to my profile. I will be sold out of the 140 gallons I made this year by September.

This is definitely a goal of mine. I'm a newbie so I'm still learning all about it, but I'm excited about the possibilities and it's great to hear how others are doing it in the marketplace.

Time to fire up the grill! Its filet mignon for lunch, my favorite. Nothing better than locally raised beef! #grownostr #homesteading #countrylife #bnbstr

I agree! That's what I had for supper tonight, too!

Things aren’t always perfect on the homestead. Yesterday our pigs decided they weren’t going to stay in! #homesteading #pigs #grownostr

Ahhhhh that scares me! Getting our first piggy ever this month!

One year into our new-to-us property and I'm still learning what's already here. Like this--a full grown American Hazelnut! I have zero idea how to grow one or harvest...but I'm gonna learn (propagation, here I come!) Do you know what's already growing on your property and how to use it? Lots of "weeds" are actually food and/or medicine. #grownostr #growfood

Paid $25 to have someone buck up this tree for me. Moving forward includes hiring out what you cannot or don't want to do. You don't have to do it *all* yourself. #grownostr #alternativeheating #firewood #chiptherest

Yes, I make my own biochar. I have a metal biochar stove, but you could easily do it by digging a hole in the ground. I do sell some locally with Craigslist, but just a few not a lot. In the fall I’ll sell though Etsy. It would probably sell well at a farmers market, but I haven’t gone down that road.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer!

Yes, when someone zaps you, you’ll receive sats (bitcoin) to your wallet (alby in this case). Go check your balance!

I see it! Craziness!! I'm so excited! My first ever! Thanks so much!

I just sent you some zaps, looks like it worked! You get the sats?

Looks like it! There's a red icon showing and a number underneath. Would I look into my Alby account? (I'm still trying to understand it)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you yes! 1. Do you make your own biochar? And 2. Were you able to find a local market for your propagated plants?

Another #fun #family #project, #traditional educational, #homeschooling, or #homesteading activity is using Soapwort for #soapmaking. If it grows in your area, it is easy to identify and collect right now. It can be used fresh or dry and only requires the plant and water (distilled preferred). Just did it tonight! Brand #new thing for me. I'm excited to try the final product. Check out the link for into and recipe.

Nice! I'd love to try soapwort sometime; I'm just using lye and coconut oil. I'd like to learn how to use my own woodstove ash, too. Thanks for the inspiration.

I just tried to zap you some sats for setting up a password manager, but you haven’t set that up yet in your nostr client. Excellent work on setting up a pw manager though. Now just remember to generate random passwords for every site you visit.

I have no idea if I did this right. Am I set up for zaps and sats now? Through Alby
