Apologies if this is a repeat post. I’m not as avid of a Lemmy user as most, probably.
Someone not long ago asked what makes people unreasonably unhappy or angry. I wanted to flip that over and see what people are looking forward to?
No really topic here, just sharing, uplifting and learning. Maybe a post like this could help spark an interest in something for someone else.
Me? Other than watching my family grow and me growing along with them, I would have to say I’m excited about learning.
More specifically, recent life has made it relevant for me to learn about solar off-grid systems. Though I know I have a lot of learning to do, I look forward to putting the knowledge to practice sometime in the near future.
How about you?
Food forest concept has been really cool to get into
I went from prefering perneals, to permaculture, to full on food forest goals. I love it. Got a few buckets of apples this year and my first gallon of elderberry juice. Was able to pick some nice mulberries and have some tomatios on the way.
All of which I just pruned this year. Which is A TON less work then tilling, planting, weeding, and watering.
Got a fig tree on the way, mint taking over a good patch. Still figuring out what guilds of plant really work on my hugalculture walls where I live.
Honestly I love foraging my own yard vs feeling like it was a chore I had to keep up on.
My wife and I (mostly her) started some simpler growing this summer. We are both new at it.
Just basically a single raised garden with potatoes and carrots, a small compost bin and a little garden greenhouse.
I don’t think either of us were really expecting it to feel so rewarding to harvest food that we grew. It’s the most excited I have seen her about something since the kids were born. We are hoping to upscale a bit more next year with what we have learned so far.
Food forest concept isn’t something I have heard of, but I’ll definitely dig into it, so thanks for that!
