My dwarf tomatoes are sprouting!!

The potato plants are starting to emerge...

Which version of Linux Mint do you like and why? Privacy is top priority. But I also need reliability. This will be on my main work desktop for creative projects. I am currently using Libre Office, Audacity, and Photoshop (an old 2015 version installed from CD) in Windows. No gaming. Side note: Also looking for a photo editor similar to Photoshop that does not require a subscription. Just for basic color correction and touch-up of images with paint brush, eraser, clone tool, etc. Adding text occasionally. I am not a huge fan of Gimp, but maybe I just need to customize it?

Gathering a basket of colorful eggs never gets old!

We found a bird nest in the window box of our chicken coop. Can you see it?

I don't know if this is just a Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon or if dwarf tomatoes are extra popular this year, but I have been hearing about them everywhere recently. They are part of the Open Source Seed Initiative. The OSSI Pledge -

Why do we raise rabbits? They are relatively easy to care for, don't make any noise, don't smell if properly housed, and they are easy to harvest for food. They could even be grown in a suburban backyard. Grazing only requires a sunny spot of grass about 20ft x 40ft. Our most recent litter of 6 rabbits gave us 10 lbs of sausage, 4 quarts of bone broth, 6 pelts, and 50+ lbs of fertilizer for the garden. Time Requirement: 30 days gestation 40 days with their mom 50 days on grass = 120 days total (I spent about 15 min a day on animal care plus 2 hours of butchering and another 4-6 hours deboning, grinding, and packaging.) Inputs: $40 for 40lbs of organic soy-free rabbit pellets $45 for 100lb bale of Timothy hay $20 for 15 lbs of organic hard red wheat and a few lbs of clover to spread on the pasture $10 for ice on butcher day $17 for sausage casing $5 for 2 lbs pasture raised pork $5 for organic seasoning $8 for vacuum seal bags = $150 total, not including my time or existing infrastructure like cages, water bottles, and breeder rabbits. #grownostr #homesteading

Harvested some pasture-raised protein this week and today I'm making sausage. #grownostr #grassfed #homesteading

Our first two strawberries of the year!!

Hello nostr! Just figuring out how to share images on here. This my tiny little homestead where we have chickens, rabbits, bees, fruit trees, and a garden. What are you growing? #grownostr #cultivatingindependence
