Bravo. 👏👏👏👏❤️. I love the interdependency advice. I always think I have to be as self sufficient as I can. I’m 74. It ain’t gonna happen.
Thank you for making this video
I am at least TRYING to grow more of the types of plants that are easy to can, easy to freeze, easy to store – more cabbage, more winter squash, trying my hand at growing stuff like a Japanese wasabi style daikon radish. I look towards permaculture as well. I have planted paw paw trees to replace banana type foods, apple trees, walnut, American hazelnuts, mulberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, elderberries… some of those were already on or adjacent to my property and some I have added – nuts are a great protein source. I have a local supply for meats, thank goodness! For my permaculture, I also consulted my nearest neighbors because if it's a case of foraging locally, then we can share the knowledge and plant more variety within the neighborhood. Great example – my next door neighbor has cherries and the type of pine trees that pine nuts can be harvested from. He had no idea he could harvest pine nuts! I am also trying to reduce or eliminate foods in my pantry that are not easily sourced locally or that contain too many chemicals – stuff like soda, chocolate, coffee that aren't actually a necessity.
I am replacing some appliances before the tariffs kick in, as well as my computer. I am definitely rethinking my garden as well as well as considering a chicken coop.
I just recently discovered your channel and I love it! Love you and your honesty and hopefulness. ❤
The Security and Intelligence Service in Canada does not recommend that Canadians use TikTok because China scrapes demographic data from users. It is not banned here, just not recommended.
Hello from Salem! Happy your channel popped up! 😊 🙌
In 2017 we knew he was going to change things and would not go away for good so we moved on 6 acres by the ocean. I keep a medicinal herb garden I use to make medicines and soaps, etc., along with my regular food garden. Living by the ocean we eat mostly seafood for meat. Anyone who’s a person of faith should know the times we are in and that the antichrist has taken over.
I don't understand. What is it that you are resisting?
I stocked up on seeds this week even though it will be months before planting season here in Maine. I also plan on sharing my harvest as much as possible since even one plant can produce more than one person can eat at any given time.
We are growing our own food, getting all my seeds in order for our garden, I will be planting a lot more this year plus also joining a local CSA for other fruits and veggies we are not growing.
I’m a avid gardener, before you down size remember some years the garden just dose not produce like other years. Weather, pollination seem to be different these days.
I’m planting vegetables instead of flowers this year. Bought an electric lawn mower, electric weed whacker, and electric leaf blower.
starting hydroponics indoors for some year around fresh vege and herbs
Late to this. Am planning my veg garden now but maintain my roses as well- we need beauty in these times. Will continue to glean and redistribute with Portland Fruit Project.
I love that you pointed out that (personal) self-sufficiency is a myth AND it is incompatible with permaculture and perma ethics that are the basis of all! M
Sending lots of love from SE Europe where through history we learned the most basic skill of them all – how to manage no matter what and how to dodge the system that messes with you from all sides. Cheers and never give up!
Thank you!! I needed this video. I struggle with this crazy hyper-independent mindset a lot of times (which I think is pretty common in us Xennial women) and think I should have time to work full time, PLUS garden, crochet, learn to knit, make my own bread, learn to spin yarn, etc etc (my interests and hobbies are out of control and not in line with the amount of time I actually have to do them all). But right now, I've been focused on garden planning and wanting to completely change the layout to support more food since I think we are going to depend on it. I've found myself struggling with "how much" to grow because I'm anti-food waste, and its also difficult because for years we were a six person household, but now 2 kids are grown and on different sides of the country, one is in college and one still home in high school so meal planning has changed drastically for us over the past couple of years. I also struggle with community building in my subdivision too because I'm a blue dot in a red area, but at the end of the day if it gets bad, I know we will still be falling into a working class vs ruling class struggle, and morally I can't watch other people go hungry…. SO, at this point, I think I'm going for higher amounts of produce (well, we have just a basic 1/4 acre subdivision lot, so not crazy amounts but more than I normally would) but keeping it more basic (potatoes, onions, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, greens, pumpkins/squash, sunflowers for seeds, and herbs….wish I could add a few chickens, but the neighborhood frowns on that). Want to have enough to help support my parents also. But like you say, I have to keep in mind the time commitment needed because my husband and I work outside of the home full time and our youngest has sports all year that consumes a lot of our evenings and weekends traveling for games.
Fantastic video. It would be great if you could do a video reviewing the best books to start permaculture!
Why would I need a passport?
I voted for Trump because I knew he would blow things up.
You grow chicory? It grows wild here.
I'm already pretty well stocked up on many types of food and security is also in good shape. Got my first passport (58yo) during his first term.
I quit maintaining the landscaping the last couple years – went too far down the rabbit hole paying attention to politics.
I'm vegan, so the price increases of meat/milk/eggs/dairy haven't had much effect on me. But I believe the cost of fruits and veggies will now be going up over the next 4 years.
So I just ordered some grow bags and will be getting them going with strawberries and bell peppers. Will also get my raised beds going again soon for leafy greens, broccoli, and others. And also will be getting my aeroponics setup in the garage going again to grow some things I use a lot that don't grow well in the SoCal summer heat – cilantro, and other leafy greens growing over the summer.
Will also start looking into growing potatoes.
I'm also going to start making use of all my food already stocked up to see how well it works. Haven't really tested it much. But I'll start supplementing what I eat with it now to see how it all works together, and what I need to change to make it work better if it's really needed.
I've got some fruit/avocado/citrus trees that need some TLC – so they'll get a bit more of that now.
I'm astonished that you removed beans, since I find those extremely rewarding. I had maybe 10 green bush bean plants and harvested enough from them to fulfill my green bean needs over the entire winter. The plants do not need plenty of space and if you harvest regularly, they will grow more fruit. The beans are also easy to store and prepare: just cut them off the bush with scissors in a way that leaves the stem on the bush, and then you only need to rinse them off (sometimes not even that), put them in a bag and in your freezer. From there they can go right into a pot.
Gardening? I’ll need a second, full-time job .
Why do you stay with them??
I'm buying spices for all the people that won't survive anyway
