I tried to attach this pic of the Bush Beans on my last post but I guess Iris didn't like the beans. So, lets see if Snort likes them... #garden #bushbeans

After 4 days of rain, the Contender Bush Beans have emerged! #garden #bushbeans #grownostr

Day 17: #grownostr initiative An unexpected consequence of the grownostr initiative has been the realization of how quickly time passes. It is hard to believe that I have been on nostr for 17 days. I think#[0] used to say tick tock, tick tock... So not only am I more aware of time and the need to be very intentional with my actions, I am meeting some very inspiring people and seeing some incredible projects being completed. #plebchain

Day 16: #grownostr initiative What client is everyone using? Is it working well? I currently use Snort on my laptop. It was working great for the first 2 weeks, but now it has trouble displaying notifications. It might be time to branch out and use a different client. I'd love to hear what everyone else is using and how they like it.

Day 15: #grownostr initiative "A goal without a plan is just a wish" - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry “A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.” - Geoge S. Patton I find myself caught in the trap of over-planning at times, thinking every aspect must be designed before any work can begin. I admire those who are able to jump in with both feet and get shit done. I would image more mistakes are made in this method, but mistakes are an opportunity for growth. So I wish everyone a good plan today. #planning

Day 14: #grownostr initiative Good morning nostr. Hope everyone has a great day. #slay

Day 13: #grownostr initiative It looks as if my plants survived the low temps. I watered last night to increase the moisture in the soil and humidity around the plants in hopes of keeping temps as warm as possible. #gardening #okie

Day 12: #grownostr initiative Here are the results of the very scientific poll I posted asking where everyone was from. 1. North Carolina (43%) 2. Missouri (22%) 3. Ohio (13%) 4. Alabama (9%) 5. Not in the U.S. (4%) I also had a reply stating they were from Australia. *An interesting note: the percentages don't add up to 100. Anyway, thanks for all those who participated. Even though I don't know who voted for where, it is interesting to realize people with common interest all over the world can build community. #community

Day 11: #grownostr initiative I had to go out of town this weekend. I am very fortunate to live next door to my parents and that they are able to help me with the garden and animals. How does every deal with circumstances like these? #family #community #homestead

Day 9: #grownostr initiative While listening to #TSP, researching some #permaculture practices and talking to others here on nostr, the word community continues to be highlighted. So today I thought I would reach out to other Okies here on nostr. #community #okies #oklahoma
