Wow, Gerry. That was almost surreal, especially because he’s a good speaker and made everyone laugh about such a serious topic. It took me a minute to discern whether someone had added a laugh track because I couldn’t believe people were laughing so much -- despite the fact that he definitely WAS trying to be entertaining. And the little “catch box” that last woman was holding when she asked her question (a question that made me disgusted). What is that box? Haha I mean, this is insane!
...yeah Samantha surreal is the word...i have to look at in full (tonight)...i immediately recognized it as it has to include a clip that had been shown in a documentary 'Monopoly' or something...about the two companies own everything ('cept common sense)...also retrieved the name of one Maurice Hilleman, who apparently pretty much admitted to having brought the HIV/AIDS virus whatever to US...the clip had been removed from YT...WIRED magazine had something about this...i'll post another video to this comment in a minute!...(edit)...https://www.bitchute.com/video/7fRv2km6lRUW/ ....this is about Starlink and something like Global Brain...look up James Giordano...catch up soon Samantha...stay cool!!...
Thank you, Based! Yes we try to do as much as we can to fit ALL of our food on our 1/3 acre. It will be so nice (and hard and adventurous) when we move to our acreage in Idaho. Will be a big learning curve, but it will still be exciting!
This was my first year to attempt to grow veggies during winter. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I decided that with a cold frame and the right kinds of plants, I could produce crops year-round. Grounding is an exciting adventure as there are so many ways to experience it!
That’s awesome! When we move out to our land in Idaho, we plan to grow year round just like we do here. I know we’ll have quite a learning curve for the much colder climate, but we’re building large greenhouses, etc.
How did your winter growing turn out?
Yes grounding is a very interesting topic. I try to walk outside barefoot everyday. It’s astonishing how little most people do of that nowadays.
Grounding makes you realize we are capable of adapting more than we realize. Thanks for reminding me of that joy and challenge! Great post! Growing in cold frames this last winter was a like walking on pebbles between star thistles during a typical California heatwave. It is definitely a steep learning curve with a lot of adjustment, but well worth it when you want to go somewhere.
Thank you, Geoff! No synthetic lawn here. I mean, what’s the point? It reminds me of fake diamonds. If my husband couldn’t afford a natural diamond, I’d rather have something else.
So much fakery in the world these days. I want real love, real food, and real grass!
This is a topic my wife and I discuss often, but fruitlessly. Being raised as city mice, we were essentially cut off from this aspect of human being (to our detriment).
So glad I subscribed. I want to reestablish this connection, but dwelling so long in the sort of nightmare hall of black mirrors, I feel like I've gotten lazy. Gotten to thinking, "Oh, well, we can learn that when we need to." Yeah, right! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! It's clear I need to not just ween myself off the adulterated "food" supply, but learn how to cultivate and replenish the real stuff.
Mark, thank you so much for reading and subscribing! I am confident you can learn about growing your own food and even creating medicinal salves, tinctures, infusions. We’ve been doing this since 2010 and have experienced a LOT of failures, but also victories -- because we learned from the failures and soldiered on.
We both grew up in rural situations, but had lost touch with that as we raised our family, etc. A friend gave us some butternut squash seeds early in 2010. We planted them, thinking not much would come of it and had a bumper harvest. From that moment on...baby...we haven’t stopped.
My best advice is to start small -- maybe with one food crop (tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, salad greens, etc.) and a couple of herbs.
If you start, there’s PLENTY of support out there from people like me and loads who have way more experience than me.
I look forward to connecting with you about growing food and tangentially related topics! 💗
Admittedly, Dame Bisone has been leading the way on this front, absorbing as much as she can from online sources. She has shown skill in cultivating gardens and even rescuing large flora using arborist techniques. I'm basically a know-nothing when it comes to agriculture. But I look forward to learning.
I’m impressed with Dame Bisone! <I send her a hug and kiss on each cheek!>
It was just the opposite with the DS (that’s my husband) and me. He knew (and knows) far more about the growing. But I quickly became quite interested in the ability to make numerous medicines (including antivirals, etc.) from various plants and herbs, so I’ve kind of taken off on that trajectory.
He has taught me almost EVERYTHING I know about growing totally organic food. It has been a beautiful journey.
We’re in Texas, but have bought 70 acres in Idaho and will move there in about 2 years (3 max) to do this and other horizontally related endeavors on a much larger scale. It’s going to be very difficult, but also an adventure!
We want 1. ALL 4 seasons; 2. We bought about 70 BEAUTIFUL undeveloped mountain acreage in Idaho for a fraction (and I mean a FRACTION of what 5 undeveloped acres costs in Texas; 3. We have close friends there.
Consider indoor hydroponics for growing all season food. I'm doing greens, tomatos, peppers, herbs so far. I'm working on getting some setups for root veggies like taters and carrots.
Funny you mentioned grounding, because I was just watching some videos on electroculture and pulling nitrogen from the air with high voltages. Maybe we literally are connected to everything.
...Samantha, sorry for my abruptness...look at this and share... https://youtu.be/5ANOVSjDUd4 ...

😊 ...enjoy every moment Samantha!...
Checking it out now, dear Gerry!
Great looking garden! I love the vertical trellising.

Haha I love that description! I needed that laugh!
What lovely grass!
I saw recently that synthetic lawn can contain PFAS.

How can you leave Texas for Idaho? What about sunshine? A nice little ranch in Texas beats a larger one in Idaho, doesn't it?
We want 1. ALL 4 seasons; 2. We bought about 70 BEAUTIFUL undeveloped mountain acreage in Idaho for a fraction (and I mean a FRACTION of what 5 undeveloped acres costs in Texas; 3. We have close friends there.

Those are good reasons. Just buy some vitamin D3 supplements for the winter!

I do believe we are! It’s a fascinating revelation, Theodore.
