Hello fellow cyclist. I look forward to spring to get back out on the road

As a snow lover, I hate the gloom and doom forecasts. We were supposedly getting 6" overnight but only got about 1". I figure if its going to be cold, we might as well have snow

Cute little peepers. Makes me want more

If pharma has a majority of the advertising they can control the news channels. They aren't really trying to sell all those drugs, but probably trick many people. Its sad

There is some good info in here. He has other podcasts on the topic as well. I think it is as important to grow gardens, even just small ones to gain the knowledge. Just having seeds without gardening experience is not going to help much. Pretty much any gardener is happy to help if you show interest.

Me too, I don't really have trouble with tomatoes here though, just like info They kind of just grow themselves, if I don't harvest all of them I will have tomatoes the next year.

I try to always collect seeds and plants or cuttings when hiking. Taking a few stinging nettle plants when there are hundreds is not going to hurt anything. I am trying to root 20ish sticks from an apple tree that the city does not take care of at the disc golf park. I also like to bring fruit and nut seeds to plant when hiking. Who wouldnt want an apple tree next to the trail? Seeds get saved from my garden for next year

Try to form relationships with other homesteaders and gardeners. Perhaps create a club, so many benefits can come from this.

I also try to bring I stock knowledge, I often have podcasts going.

I stock rice and beans and salt, all the normal prep stuff, but I focus more on building soil and food production systems that can scale pretty easily.

Nice! I may have a new goal. I'll have to check with the local brewery and organic cidery. I want the apple seeds as well to start some trees, if they aren't that good I could always graft to them. I have some wild apple trees or Pippins that produce quite a bit, so what I don't eat and the deer dont get go to the chickems
