Dealing with Life

The times are getting tight for almost everybody. Investment dollars need to be recalled and placed locally. The best investment at this time might be seeds. (Silver is useful also). The current truck traffic is carrying food and fuel and not much else - what happens when these trucks stop moving altogether?

Where i live now, there is a herd of deer - maybe 15 strong - that likes to come down to nibble on the lawn. Venison is tasty stuff, but if everybody starts protecting their plots by harvest, we could end up with a serious depopulation effort of critters. We have a garden planned - the tilling begins this weekend. Since the field has been a cow pasture and not a garden, tilling is necessary to break up the hard pack. While i fully support no-till methods for carbon sequestration, getting a reasonable yield of produce from this garden is a major focus.

I spent last Friday checking out a friends garden site. He has a major advantage in roughly 50 fruit trees that are scattered on his land, plus several nut trees in addition. Those of us dealing with climate change may wish to look at the orchard agriculture 200 miles south and start planting - to take advantage of the northward migration of warmth.

Now i feel as though i have blogged - i have a lot more to say, so i will get working on access and presentation formats. Enjoy your day.
