Day 3 of #grownostr initiative

Listened to #[1]​ in his chat about growing in person communities today. I feel this is very important for the evolution of the local economies. I have been noticing with some of the “friends” we have met since uprooting our lives and moving away from our known and established lives, it feels like there is a lack of connection/substance to our new relationships. Actions I have taken to alleviate these feelings have been getting involved with creating the freedom exchange and it’s funny how few of our current “friends” find ways to make excuses why they can’t make the 30+/- minute drive out “oh I’m just so busy (even though neither work a full time job)” or “if only the exchange was on Fridays since I’m traveling up there anyways it would be super convenient for me”… well this movement is not about personal convenience, it’s about connecting with the people who made a 2+ hour drive on their only day off to participate.

Just sharing inside thoughts about what I think will create a parallel revolution. I think we need to start doing things together with the people we share the same ideologies with. I feel like there are those that “want” and those that “do”. Moving forward I plan on aligning myself more closely with those that do because I try to be a doer. We are stronger as a tribe!

My two cents for whatever it’s worth 🤪

Why is everyone talking about delete. Back to memes.

Do your aquaponics tomorrow taste good? Mine were pretty tasteless. That was one thing that I could grow better in the ground.

I'm trying to get my chipper blades sharpened. It seems like almost no one does that.

They are just a straight blade. I already have the blades off.

Are sharpening shops a relic of the past? Is there a business opportunity?

Only one pea seed germinated out of an entire raised bed. May have planted them too early as well.

I'm not giving up hope yet though.

Working on turning this plot into a little homestead. Will be putting a garden in where the chickens are now. The area to the right of the chickens will be a mini pasture and the wooded area will be converted to silvopasture. Also need to put in more erosion mitigation.

Just 6 months of moving the chickens across this area and I'm seeing more worm castings than I ever have.

What would you do differently? What you can see in this picture is roughly a quarter acre.

A reminder

You can't delete notes

After so much time trying to figure out how to make a living working our property, turns out I'm a nettle farmer. #grownostr #permaculture #nowwhat

Some technology legitimately increases productivity and thus keeps prices down. These represent the brilliance of human ingenuity to solve problems and increase efficiency.

Tricks of psychology or gimmicks to reduce quality are insidious ways to obscure reality.

It's snake season again, and I'm fascinated by hognose snakes and their scary antics. This one crossed my path recently and made me jump. I thought it was a cottonmouth at first sight. I was told it was a hognose. #grownostr #snakeid #snakes #wildlife

Anyone know about these #rabbits? They are all over the place here. I know rabbits are part of some #homesteading and I'm wondering if these guys could be useful. #grownostr

I’m not used to social media without constant troll swarms, so it’ll take some getting used to.

I was sick of seeing guys in dresses and warmongering politicians so I’m back on Nostr and off Twitter for the day.

In a national divorce, which side gets the kids?

Jerome Powell - for whom the bell tolls

I refuse to hate anyone just because someone told me I should. I bet I have a lot more in common with the outsider than first meets the eye
