RE: Subsistence Farming - on a very small scale
Sorry to hear your friend no longer blogs here. I'm saddened too. Many of my favorites I followed have also left steem over the years. I think the reason is due to the hardforks. I've witnessed a lot of people who rage-quit because their honest content had been downvoted as spam, even though it was 100% original creative contributions. I disagree with people who downvote any crap they dislike, because it is ruining public interest from casual web surfers who feel threatened for participating on the blockchain. Nobody blames facebook for people posting crap on their own feed.
I quietly quit facebook because of the horrible ads, junk notifications, their forced ownership of my original content, and mostly because of the censorship police. Now people want to bring that garbage here to "improve" the blockchain, and the nightmare is back.
... end of my selfish rant.
Besides all that...
I can't believe you got all those healthy veggies to skyrocket and grow inside that cheap little greenhouse. I've been wanting something like that for a few years. Are you pretty happy with it? Anything you've learned to make it more effective?
Thank you for sharing an awesome gardening featured post. One of my favorite tags on here to curate.
Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. I also stopped blogging for a few months as the interaction had all but dried up and there was nothing but bots charging around voting and down voting. But I missed the blogging and started doing it again for my own state of mind. I love doing music and cooking and nature so I just muddle along.
Yes, the hot house works a treat, but being in Africa the sun is devilish hot and so we open it during the day. We made the mistake of using many small pots initially and the plants became stressed and dry in the intense heat ... so we transplanted to larger pots and this works a lot better.
I also need to devise some sort of drip irrigation for when we go away for weekends as these plants need water DAILY during summer.
