Long before community living became a trend, we were already questioning the direction of the world.🌎
Rising chronic illness. Ultra processed food. 🍔 Chemical agriculture. Centralized energy.

"Most advice about adult loneliness assumes the person experiencing it knows they're lonely and just needs strategies for connection. But there's a different version of this that operates almost invisibly."

Rooting up some supermarket watercress (stems in water, covered with plastic bag to hold high humidity) I will pot on gradually to form a root mat. It will hopefully cover an entire pond #vegan #lifehacks #diy #selfsufficiency #watercress

A vegetable garden with a sprinkler running in the middle, baby lettuce coming up on the right, and a bed of asparagus and herbs in the foreground
A brown leghorn hen picks at some fresh green weeds pulled out of the vegetable garden.
The weeding continues, now with March watering (?!) in hot & dry California. 🥵 My chickens love the supplement to their usual lay pellets & kitchen scraps. The weeds are all non-toxic, such as creeping sorrel, clover tops & chickweed. #selfsufficiency #homesteading #gardensky #survival #foodsecurity
The most important skill you can own isn't digital—it's the ability to turn a seed into a meal. 🏡🌻
Stop waiting. Start growing your own freedom.🌱

Who needs to bother forcing #rhubarb when you have a stand of Timperley Early 💜 the clue's in the name - this huge clump has been pickable for a month already & will supply as many stems as I can cook into crumble (or stew & enjoy with creme fraiche 😋) till June #selfsufficiency #gardening 🌱

A weedy garden plot with a small fire in the middle for burning off weeds
A very rough garden plot with a few beds marked out and a few things planted
a spring garden with peas, garlic, herbs, and native mugwort visible. Most of the beds are still full of weeds
a well tended early spring garden with newly planted beds, some herbs, overwintered carrots, onions, a raspberry plant, and basket weaving plants visible, as well as some trellises for peas to come
Progression: November 2024 - December 2024 - May 2025 - March 2026. All this was done by me alone, without any help. Keep digging, it's worth it. #selfsufficiency #gardensky #homesteading #foodsecurity #survival #patience #tenacity #victorygarden #gardening #veggies #herbs #fiberplants #fruits
A vegetable garden with many prepared beds being weeded and planted. The beds are temporarily marked out with lengths of pipe.
Getting on top of the weeds. The creeping oxalis is especially terrible this year. Beds are looking good - beets, lettuce, onions, garlic, and some peas are in. Today's plan includes carrots, maybe more peas, and cutting up seed potatoes. #homesteading #selfsufficiency #survival #foodgarden
a very tiny asparagus shoot next to a finger in a garden bed
I guess the asparagus I started from seed last year is still a bit small to do anything with 😆 #FoodGarden #homesteading #selfsufficiency #gardensky
a raspberry bush planted up against a wire fence
very long sedge rhizomes freshly dug from a garden bed with the parent plants nearby
A couple more garden pics for you. A newly-planted raspberry (for a total of 3 varieties now) and some whiteroot (AKA basket sedge, AKA Carex barbarae) freshly gathered from my own garden bed. No more driving 2 hours to forage for it! #basketmaking #fiberarts #foodgarden #selfsufficiency #gardensky
a garden bed with four kinds of lettuce seeds planted
a pile of long willow rods in a garden
madder plant shoots coming up between last year's dead leaves
a really big reddish brown millipede held in a hand wearing a green glove
Good weather for gardening. Lettuce planted, freshly cut willow rods gathered for making pea trellises, the madder's coming back to life, and I even found a cool friend. #zone8b #gardensky #homesteading #cottagecore #selfsufficiency #foodgarden #dyegarden #DIY #spring
Did I buy Camelia sinensis cuttings on Etsy this morning to start growing my own tea? Yes, yes I did. It's hardy in zones 7 to 9 & grows just like ornamental species Camelia japonica or Camelia sasanqua. It even has pretty white flowers. #homesteading #gardensky #selfsufficiency #survival #caffeine
