We are finally building out on a little land we bought a couple years ago. Going to do the homesteading and permaculture thing. My goal is to support our home needs, with an eye towards slowly building up to a retirement gig as a seller of jams, jerky, wines, and vinegars. Any tips or queries send them my way. #grownostr #permaculture #homesteading

Cucumber is getting out of control so I took a “too large” one and made cucumber water. But there is only so much cucumber water I can drink. What else can I use these too large cucumbers for. Not yet bitter, but seeds have a bit of firmness. #gardening

Does anyone have expierence with the heritage breed of Buckeye chickens? I’m a year away from starting my flock, and I’m looking at heritage breeds. And I just kind of doubt that a breed of bird will have the same temperament and behaviors that seem to be common knowledge and repeated facts from source to source, without a breeder actively eliminating “bad” traits from the breeding flock constantly. And I doubt that large hatcheries are actually attempting to do that. For example Buckeyes are supposed to be strong self foragers. But how would that behavior be monitored and breed for without the chickens being in a situation where they are able to forage for themselves and those that do poorly are removed from the gene pool… so anyways anyone have actual experience with Buckeye’s how close do they come to their breeds description in behavior.

You are Woodstock watching MAGA support both sides of the tariff debate depending on if tariffs are on or not.

And how it turned out. #foodstr #grownostr View quoted note →

Today on the internet I saw people arguing about things that didn’t matter.
