me too. I really dislike this idea that everyone needs to go to college. It's very pervasive among the middle class

My husband has a friend who works on a private yacht. He gets to travel the world and gets paid!

Ours grew like crazy but have not produced any fruit

I was only slightly worried I wouldn't! 😅

You just gave me the solution to a problem with a project I want to complete in the future!!! Yay!! Nice problem solving

haha in 14 years when Chris retires!! I know I am planning way ahead. At some point I am going to participate in a complete house build. I need to learn cob, strawbale building and timber framing. Good

I'm back!!

@minismallholding I found a zero waste homesteading group on facebook!

Yah I think it was a global group. I have yet to find a local one I might have to get on that because I did learn a few things!

I think we were in the same zero waste group! I left because a post I had made about ecologically responsible farming being possible was refuted by someone just giving sound bites without knowing anything

Our loofah plants are doing really well! I can't wait to make our own sponges and some will go out as christmas gifts

I was surprised as well! They shipped quickly though so that might have had something to do with it. Oh no I'm sorry they didn't work out! We also have some wild black berries but we don't eat them because

Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds

I only wish they had been left at the door but they are doing well regardless. Everything has grown well except the pineapple. I don't think they have gotten much bigger. You should get some nursery pots

@hopfarmnc I'm not sure if you have ordered your plants yet but I have to say I was happy with the way ours arrived! I will be writing an update post on our edible landscaping soon

I hope it gets better! I try to sit back and enjoy the things I have accomplished occasionally. Plus I really enjoy walking around our garden. There is something new to discover almost every day since

Unfortunately I can't upvote since it's 12 hours before your payout. We feel like that all the time. Not necessarily homesteading specifically but we always have unexpected expenses come up that set us

My understanding was that they aren't sold in grocery stores because the fruit is too soft to transport well . Either way it would make a great market crop! ETA: Baker Creek sells pawpaw seeds

We made pawpaw bread once when I was growing up. I'm planning on planting some on our property!

oh no they probably aren't getting snow anymore
