I dunno about you, but I'm bored of all this doom mongering and convirus19.
In addition to that, I feeling very upbeat about moving to hive, which is par for the course with me.
I hate the feeling of hodling.
It just ain't me. Whether it's in life, hobbies, or finances. I like to feel on the move.
It suits my temperament that's for sure.
So, in the spirit of feeling like Hive is a new fresh place, I thought I'd give you an insight in my world, and where I live.
(I haven't really posted anything about it, not since we moved from our other property a few months back).
So let me take you on quick tour...or at least some of it.
You can see our second batch of peppers getting under way here. Our first trial batch yielded around 6 kilos!
When I say 'our', I mean Lucy - obviously. She's taken charge of the garden, which is cool - as while I can grow plants, if I have to, it's not 'ma thang'.
But Luce just loves doing it, so it all works out.
A 'she's the boss' and I'm the laborer, kinda thing.
These first attempts at tomatoes in this new plot have worked out great,with
around 4 kilo (9lb) so far. The ones you see on the photo's are still to be picked.
Everything grows so easy in these parts.
The other photo is of our green beans and cucumbers (you can't see the cucumbers because of the foliage).
So far the green beans have yielded around 4 lb's, and those fuckers just keep on producing,like, nearly every day. (literally, every 24/48 hours, new beans to pick).
The cucumbers? Around 5 lbs so far...
And then we have our herb garden. Or herb forest as it's becoming...We're losing control of it! lol
On a serious note:
I'm a great believer in making your own luck, and while we're very lucky to be living in an environment where everything grows so easily, now is the time to be growing your own food (if at all possible).
Serious shit is coming down the road, and being able to provide even some of your own food could be one of the 'luckiest things' you'll have ever chosen to do.
In my opinion, the further you are from the equator,(the higher northern or southern latitudes), the MORE VITAL it will become.
The coming months and years are going to be brutal in these climes due to scarcity and breakdown in supply lines, so growing your food becomes more important.
Please 'be lucky'.
If you have any access to land, get off the computer, and do some shovel work instead!
Potatoes are gonna be way more important than crypto currency.
Stop hodling, and get moving.
Grow your luck.
And ere endeth my amazing, insighful imparting of wisdom for the day.
Do what you will with it.
Anyways...Back to my little part of paradise...
Looking out from the back of our property, we have around 30 acres of rice fields, and 10 acres of lakes. (split into three small waters).
The farmer has given us permission to do what we want with any of the land, and to grow as we please.
(We have 10 banana trees arriving shortly! MMmmmm... banaaaaaaanas....)
PLUS, we also have free fish(ing) anytime we like!
Woooohoooo!
In return, we cook him western foods,the kind of things he and his family have never tasted before. They love it.
Luce has also given him new customers for his rice processing machine! A result for him.
They're really nice people and we more than happy to help each other out.
Good neighbors.
So, that's the quick tour of our corner of the world.
I hope this is a feel good post for you in the midst of the doom porn that we are currently under attack from, right now.
....oh yeah, and we've seemed to have adopted one of the farmers dogs! lol.
She basically eats and sleeps outside on our balcony every day and night.
(and beats Sophia up, now and again. She's a bit tough.lol)
We call her Pooh-bear - 'cos when she sleeping, her very broad head does actually look like a polar bears!
