Re: DO YOU EVER WONDER WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU THINKING?!
@judsoncarroll4 a lady in my daughters town does the honor system. I think that’s fabulous. It sounds like you’ve spent time around some beautiful folks. It’s wonderful that the gentleman knew how to grow, shared and those he shared so generously returned his kindness with goods he could also use or give. What a great concept.
@COWLOVINGIRL do you have a root cellar or long term storage area for some, ferment
@Cornelius im thinking it would be a beautiful place to be. There is so much hate, greed, and selfishness today it’s so heartwarming to know these people still exist.

We have spent many years growing our food and medicine, working on more sufficiency for our family. One of our goals is to teach the people of our small town to grow and make their own medicine. We believe this is one way to bring people together. Enjoy!

Re: Who else loves the Foxfire Books?
They are great books. Have about half of them when I started collecting them many years ago. You guys have inspired me to finish getting the rest so I have them on hand. Thanks and stay safe.

Re: What are new plants are you trying in 2020 Part 2
@VermontCathy I agree and that is the problem I am having when doing research on places to retire - land/good prices vs. long growing periods.

I am starting to follow some of the permaculture principles and planted comfrey for the first time. They are doing great and have survived winter and being eaten to the ground by wildlife. Definitely a keeper!

We finally got our long awaited video together! What a learning experience! And certainly a challenge for me to keep it short. Haha! A heads up...you need to keep your finger ready on the pause button to do some reading. Some slides slip by all too quickly!
Just like @Marjory Wildcraft stated, I underestimated what we do...and underestimated our garden! How can you fit a rich & fulfilling lifestyle into only two minutes?
Here is our video about how we Grow Our Own Food...by the Kroeker family! Please join us in exploring what we grow on our small acreage.

Re: Full Moon Aquarius and Herbalism
When we start to dissect what moon is what we forgetis the beauty of it. As @erikawinterton mentions from Native Americans they didnt have a watch. The moon helped them chart what they needed to get done at certain times of the year. I love following what @annbeck62 mentions of prep n decant with the moon. We need to enjoy the simple rhythms of the earth. @andrea745 I love that your teaching yoga. We so need this today. As a student I've gotten so lost in all the long names of yoga poses any chance of simplifying?

Re: Full Moon Aquarius and Herbalism
Alot of the names of the moon come from Native American folk lore and other random naming things. Such as the harvest moon, pink moon, wolf moon ect. This might be the herbal moon for some reason, but I dont think it coincides with being the Aquarius Full moon. Astrology is a totally different system understanding. Aquarius is the air sign, so maybe proliferation of anything you plant. Plus the intensity of the full moon always has its benefits to the natural forces of earth.

Re: Earthquake in NC
Glad you're ok. I was living in Battle Creek, MI in 2015 and there was an earthquake nearby and it shook my house like crazy. Definitely an intense experience!
