Best friend's home from work so I'm spamming him with cat pics. >:D

Gardening - I like the idea of it more than I like the reality of tending to it all the time, but a lot of that is simply because it's too damn hot here most of the time and the ground is mostly sand, which is not ideal for growing edibles. Or much of anything other than palm trees, apparently.
"The future must know where you've been."
@Wildfire: That's entirely fair - I'm lucky to live on land that's somewhat rich in soil, since decades of leaves have decomposed. Gardening itself is hard work - next year my uncle wants to make a raised bed garden, 'cause this year's garden was way too much for me to handle by myself with my disability >w>;

@0v7: I bet it looks pretty! wooded property, I think is nice. Not so much maintenance and you generally see cute critters. I had wooded property growing up with wild blackberries. so good. and a-hole raccoons.
I feel bad, I want a food garden and I need to rip up on this well-done flowery landscape.
@Wildfire: oh my gosh! I know that feeling. When I was packing up to move, I went on a binge of making a donation pile. I also threw out several bags of toys, old kids' clothes, etc. stuff thrift stores don't want.

@Wildfire: Exactly!
Thread is clearly up to code. lol
Gardening? I'd like to be able to garden and grow my own things, but unfortunately where I live is not ideal for growing anything but tumble weeds. lmao

Gardening is hard work, there's no doubt about that.
We try to garden, but I haven't been able to keep up with it. The soil is cruddy. The sun is just too much. The heat is just too much. The water situation is either swamp or caked dry. There are bugs everywhere. Ack! Anyone who can actually grow stuff (other than hot peppers, corn, cotton) in Florida has my deepest respect. I'd love to have more land - that might help.

@Anarchist Beauty: I spent 5 years in Wyoming and I totally understand. lol! tumbleweeds everywhere, dry dirt, and weird seasons. Definitely couldn't keep things alive.

@Koah: It's really pretty out here *u* We have wild blackberries, and we used to have a wild plum tree but it died u_u
This year we had grown cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, and herbs to various degrees of success.
@Wildfire: Oh yeah it must get super dry there too. I know I'd not be able to garden there lol

@wildfire: yes that would be great hun if u don't mind ^.^ I'm good thanks you just tired.. we're on another lock down here :/ government saying apparently if people don't do what needs to be done everyone in uk will be dead by March.. I hope they're just trying to scare people into doing the right thing.. how are you today ?
My new property is beautifully set up for gardening. This would be the first time in my life that I can garden.
Gosh, I'd love to grow food! We have an apple tree here and it's Full! but infested with worms/caterpillar things. I don't even know how to get rid of that infestation.

Yeah, I live in the Mojave Desert... We can't grow a single thing around here.
I know many people who have tried to build gardens and things and it all failed because of the heat.
Sun out here just bakes everything dead.

@Koah: And yes! I like to donate stuff when and where I can, but sometimes, it would be nice to recuperate some cost of things but selling stuff takes a different kind of time and energy and patience that I just don't always have either. And who knows what the "rules" are now in our covid-centric world.
@Anarchist Beauty: lol - glad the thread meets your approval! :3
@Anarchist Beauty: lol - glad the thread meets your approval! :3
@Anarchist Beauty: I camped once in a town in the Mojave desert area. I can't remember where exactly. I just remember the ground was cracked from the heat.
@Wildfire: I've never tried to sell anything before. I always feel anxious thinking about it. I don't know why. Probably the time and energy you mentioned. I feel like it takes a certain type of person to sell online. My mom is good at it. She'll put in a lot of work if it means earning a few extra bucks.

@Koah: Usually you can get a powder/spray to get rid of insects like that! Though, you'd have to wash your fruit very well after.

I quit Voltra. Read my profile.
@LilMissKushy: Oh good - then yes, we'll try to @you once in a while to remind you to stop by! :3
Oh jeeze - I'm sorry you're going through another round of scare tactics and uncertainty.
@Totalanimefan: I'm sorry, but that's funny. Good luck!
@Anarchist Beauty: Yes, here too. Or drowns it. Or both. Rarely does it seem to have a balance.
@Koah: Most of the time, it's not worth my time and energy, TBH. By the time I sort through things and make decisions, I want it gone, not sitting in a different pile somewhere needing to be babysat. But, like right now, I have a lot of the kids' homeschooling stuff that is brand new (stinker refused to touch it; then we switched tracks) - it would be nice to recuperate some money for that, for example

@Wildfire: I completely understand that thought process.
I'm thankful we're not completely unpacked I found a good spot/room for kids' homeschooling. It's like a small office space attached to the main kitchen. We weren't using it yet, there's no door for privacy. So I'm able to hear my daughter's teacher. I listen for keywords like "Due Thursday," or "today's subject is". My daughter has the attention span of a goldfish.
@0v7: Our apple trees are Really Tall! Like I need an orchard ladder! of course, the infestation is near the top.

@Koah: It's a terrible place.
@Wildfire: Apparently balance is for wimps. lol
We have no real balance.
We don't even have seasons.
We have hot and cold.
Summer and Spring don't exist. That's Hot.
Fall and Winter don't exist. That's cold.
And it's evil.

@Koah: Oh! That sounds like a pretty good set up for a school environment - a certain amount of privacy for her, but also the ability for you to stay informed and involved and helpful! LOL - teach her to take notes or write things down in a calendar to help her track due dates, etc.? Or does her attention even go that far right now?
@Anarchist Beauty: Our seasons are Summer, Summer v2, Devil's Sauna, Hurricane Season and Crap! Where's my Hoodie?! XD
LOL - it's actually really nice here most of the time in February-ish if you can deal with all the pollen. August and September are usually horrid with the levels of humidity in the air (not bad this year, actually), and otherwise, it's "summer according to everyone else", which may be soggy or dry, depending on Mother Nature's attitude that day
