Welcome to steemit! If you are ever looking for a group, actually a community, of homesteaders/gardeners/self-sufficient like-minded people, I am the moderator of a group here... also the "un"official ambassador to the group.
let me know and I can post an invite link here for you!
That Sounds Interesting! If I Could, I Would Be Happy To Join!
Join Link: https://discord.gg/VKCrWsS
The main chat area is the Front Porch, plus there's a Welcome Channel and Newbie steemit channel.
Any questions you have, feel free to ask. Someone is always in the main chat area
Thank-you!
