That said, I look forward to seeing how this place grows.
Ini on recently cut mushroom logs.
A quick homestead update. Spring is here! We are busy planting tree seeds, finishing projects, gardening, preparing mushroom logs for spawn, relaxing, taking care of our immune systems in the face of Covid-19 (and yes we have been social distancing), selling permaculture plants, among other things.

Chinese hybrid chestnuts ready to be planted!
We've made some air pruning beds (post on that soon) and have planted out Chinese and European hybrid chestnuts, persimmons, select pawpaw seeds and we also have Trifoliate Orange (a citrus easily hardy to our area!) and Jujube. We've sold dozens of starts this year including skirret, blackberries, boysenberries, Chinese mountain yam, sunchokes and more. It feels good to spread the awesome plants.
Perennial abundance; Skirret, sunchokes, comfrey, wild yam and more

It's been a while since I've checked in and the drama has of course changed the tempo of interaction here for a while it seems. I'm excited to see people get back into "posting grooves".
We want to stick to quality blog posts instead of quantity -- focusing on topics pertaining to permaculture, homesteading, food forestry, natural building, etc that people find interesting.
Maybe youโre interested in tanning hides?
We also plan to get back into action posting YouTube videos. However, though much has been changing in our world, our slow rural internet has not changed (perhaps it's gotten worse) so we still have a challenging time with the uploads.
Let it be known that throughout my hiatus from posting in the community, I have been playing Splinterlands many times a week! The Gelatinous Cube is one of my favorites of late.
And this concludes my first post on new fork, Hive blockchain. Happy to be here!
