Oh yum. While I'm a carnivore got try what I grow😉 2nd generation, from 1 now have 8 plants growing and more planted. Plus, cantaloupe has many health benefits related to its antioxidant power, electrolytes, and water content. Mexicans also make melon waters of these, watermelon and honey dew. Saludos #homesteading #gardening #offgrid #bitcoin

Gorgeous wet morning. It's a great time to spray more @WeFeedTheSoil biological while everything is naturally soaking up the moisture. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid #bitcoin

First light on my 66th rotation completed. Woohoo, I don't feel much different, but overall healthier than I was last year, which is good enough😉

Moringa aka Tree of life" producing seed pods in their first years. This plant can be food and medicine for all animals with many parts usable. Now to see if I can propagate second generation from these new seeds. This plant also can be cut and planted. It roots almost any part of itself quickly. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid #bitcoin

Mayan beekeeping of the Melipona bees. Dona Neby not only explaing and showing the bees but gave me a special treatment for my arthritis. No stingers very friendly and they know right where the pain is. Dona Neby's daughter had what I have at 16. Hands twisted and couldn't walk. Over 10 years later and she looks fine n healthy now. Their vibration of the bees, sound waves as well as the bee propolis and honey are all medicinal according to the Maya. The oldest way is to hollow out logs for the brood. Today they use wooden boxes and harvest the honey with a syringe. Very scarce honey😉 #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid #bitcoin #beekeeping

Last Saturday learning Mayan permaculture at a Yucatan Citadel. Thanks,Dan, Carlos and Jorge for showing the old man around. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid #bitcoin

Buenos días nostriches... Been traveling and got back Sunday during a light rainfall. We've had 3 hard dumps and several days of light soaking rains over the last 2 months. Breaking an almost 2 year drought! Ranch probably has the most biomass ive ever seen, at least in last 10 years. Well project going well🤣 65' approximately and a few more weeks we should close to water. We figure 90-120' maximum. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Shoutout to TeaCo https://www.teacobiosupply.com/ for the donation of soil amendments. These powders are used at tsp per gallon or less so here's plenty to test all over gardens, growbeds and swales. Anxious to see how these will help jumpstart the microbial environment and help change dirt to soil. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Ranch road needs a little work. 1st is from top headed to town, 2nd is from bottom on way back. Just like life, sometimes you just have to change course to avoid the problems ahead🤙 #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid #bitcoin

Waiting on the water truck to see if he can get through with a load. Here we have mud all around but running out of water🤣 The ranch life. Here's part of the challenge, not hard for a 4x4 but a 6 ton water truck is a different story.. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Buenos días nostriches... September has been the month of rain and cloudy skies. Breaking a 2 year drought. Amazing with all the plants grabbing the morning dew and self watering for awhile longer. Have an awesome day🤙 #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Sure is greening up. Heres the ranch swales in zone 1(yellow lines). You can barely see them. It'll be interesting to see how things dry out in the next few weeks. Have agreat week🤙 #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Just had a bath in the buggy going into town. Roads a mess. That lake had water over the hood and the buggy had no problem but were not getting through with the water truck. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Just had a 4 hour Tropical dump from Hurricane Narda thats way offshore. Narda (lower left) may go north and hook back to Baja. We'll see in the next couple of days. One thing for sure, is it'll be greener than in many years.. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

21 days after 1st rain. Possibly more rain starting tomorrow through weekend🤙 Loving the green but humidity and bugs are a bit much on the sunny calm days. Small price for such an increase in biomass and biome in the soil. Planting more seeds and putting worm, bio tea all over before next soaking. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

A few shots from around the ranch. The view from front corner of property inland and ocean view. Beach lagoon filled with brackish water. Rain clouds (cummies) in background. The yellow flower road is property line covered in Manybristle Chinchweed. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Buenos días nostriches... A little worm tea for breakfast, garden and compost areas to boost biome production. Soak the cardboard in it for the worms to eat the bacteria that decomposes the cardboard. Tea: Worm castings Rotten cactus Calcium Biochar Local soil Leaves Molasses Aerator for 24 hours Saludos #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Mushrooms in garden as well as in fields. Proof of mycellium which is proof of biome🤙 Dirt converting to living soil. #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid

Buenos días nostriches... All fired up for a great weekend🤙 #permaculture #homesteading #gardening #offgrid
