Hi STEEMIT! I'm Blake Kirby A.K.A Daddykirbs

in #video7 years ago (edited)

I'm on lots of other sites and have to admit I wasn't very interested in joining another when a friend suggested Steemit. However now that I've had a look around I'm very excited to participate! The platform here is way cooler (and less cluttered) than some of the others. I've added a few posts already to just see how it works. It's fun.

My story (short version) is that I am a man that discovered gardening sometime around 2009. I practiced a few different techniques in my small suburban backyard. One of the early projects that got me hooked on growing was an Aquaponics system. Here's the video that shows my attempts at making something work out of the junk I had available.

Later I moved my family out from the suburban neighborhood to a small farm about 10 miles away. It was a dream come true and the beginning to many many adventures. I had no idea what was in store for me. Along the way I turned into a YouTuber as well LOL. I have made many many mistakes, but haven't ever been afraid to share them. I believe that we all can learn from each others mistakes. Here's one where I display some horrible skills using a tractor mounted post hole digger.

Somehow along the way I've learned a few things and people started watching. My audience is full of wonderful people that have encouraged me during some challenging times. Around the end of 2016 I had some moments in my life where I came to grips with my own humanity, my faults and my inability to be in control and "perfect". Some of those feelings were expressed in this video.

Now here I am... on Steemit. I am so looking forward to building new relationships here. Thank you for checking out this post. I would be honored for you to follow me here. Let me know who you are so I can follow you as well!

Thank you,
Blake "Daddykirbs" Kirby

When I saw the tag "introduceyouelf", I had hope that finally I would meet a real Elf!

Welcome to Steemit.

Oops! I'll have to correct the tag so nobody else gets disappointed! LOL

Interresting with a new place to read your story and learn even more. And I have to learn to use this site as well.

Yay! Good to see you here!

Welcome. I'm looking forwards to seeking my mode of your farming activity

Hey Welcome! I know you'll have some great content to share and I look forward to seeing it! Welcome to the whole Kirbs clan :)

Thank you! Hey @tamaralovelace are we connected on other sites?

Not truly connected. I have watched the YT channel for quite some time, along with most of the other homesteading channels. I never interacted on the 'toob'....here, it's a whole new ballgame. I especially like the lack of trolls and negativity here. Keep up the good work, I'll keep commenting, and when I get my nerve up I may even start posting, too LOL

Oh do get the nerve up! I agree about the lack of negativity so far on this platform. It's refreshing :)

Exactly! There's a totally different feel here. I'll work on my nerve this weekend and maybe dip a toe in the water :D Thanks so much for the encouragement!
