Each new day...

I've begun to appreciate something very important.

Each day the world doesn't end is one more day...

One more day to prepare...

One more day to gather the tools and equipment...

One more day to practise growing food and other crops...


One more day to learn the skills needed to thrive, not just survive...


One more day to learn and make mistakes that aren't going to risk your life...

Growing continues, some trees are proving good, some not. Tomatoes are spreading - I'm not really controlling them, just letting them spread around the place. Luffas are growing like weeds, but I've though of something interesting - see how many dried ones I can sell in the local area at an interesting price, marketing them as locally grown and organic... A local store has thin lengths of bamboo, barely a metre and a half, tall selling for $16... If someone is willing to buy at that price, I will have to find out who - and start cutting down and drying for that long. That money can then go back into prepping...
