There's always something trying to grab your attention and, more significantly, money. Rates, insurance, bills... all screaming for attention, and generally in one heap. I'm not sure whether TEOTWAWKI will be good (get rid of all these items of "civilisation") or bad (life much, much harder). Economic collapse would be interesting - but how likely, at the moment? There would still be bills, but perhaps some relief - if no one else is paying their mortgages, would a bank take your home away, especially if you point out that you're not going to up and move, that it's a better investment for them if you stay where you are even if they press pause on your payments...
Of course, if things got bad enough, quite possibly the government would put a stop into effect on debts, or make some relief available. Well, okay, it depends on the government, and the country you are in... and if your home is a tin shack... well, your daily life is probably an exercise in survival anyway. There are plenty of governments who would side with the banks, throwing people out, and governments who would side with people.
Rome had a bit of a problem under Tiberius (who ruled 14CE - 37CE) - at one point, interest rates were frozen, tax relief was ordered, and lenders called all debts in - creating a minor economic crisis... Famines, caused by poor wheat harvests in other parts of the early empire, saw people moved of the city, out to the country, where it was at least possible for them to get some food - you were at least able to provide something for yourself if you had land to work.
So, spring growth has shown itself to be promising for future years (assuming availability of the uncontrollables, like rain), peaches are almost ready for harvest (quite a crop coming up), other trees putting plenty of growth in... There are still quite a few trees I need to get, if I can ever find the space to put them in, and plenty of herbs worth worrying about. The clove tree that I had died off, so I will have to wait for more to be available. Cocoa is on its way, tea is on the must-get, and I'm waiting on Melaleuca alternifolia to be ready - both as a hedge/barrier, but for the oil, which has medicinal properties.
Making a change from all the trees I have gotten, I got the other day some woad, and a henna bush. Henna is most famous for use in temporary tattoos, so perhaps a possible tradeable item. Woad, I discovered, is probably the most useful dye plant I could have found - easy to use, colour-fast by itself (no additional chemicals needed), and apparently has some primitive pharmacological uses...
So... plenty to do around the garden, but it's getting quite well established. Hopefully, and more than likely, there will be plenty of time before it's really needed.
