#SelfSufficiency
I've said this before but this really must be the last picking of tomatoes this year!
Just a few more bottles to add to our winter store.

Ah, yes... today is an anniversary! This photo was taken one year ago today when I moved my RV about one mile from a temp rental lot onto my own property in my own little corner of the universe. Nothing in place at the time but a functioning solar-powered well, a septic tank, and enough electricity to hook up an RV. Much, much water under the bridge since then, and hopefully even more by this date in 2024. Okay, I can hope, right?? 😂 (Whew, what a ride!)
Preserving chanterelles, black trumpets and yellowfoot mushrooms today. #SelfSufficiency #Mushrooms
Oooooh. It's been six weeks.
Which means my cayenne oil is ready to be used.
Next on my list: Cayenne Salve!

Probably the last picking of tomatoes for this year.
That'll be 150 bottles of passata safely stored away for the coming year.

What a great day on the lake. I caught a nice perch and made good fish soup! #Fishing #SelfSufficiency
An amazingly fruity and mind blowing Sriracha salsa prepared by our best cheffie friend, Richard, from our own chillies, peppers and tomatoes. So good to have someone who really knows how to use our local produce. We can keep in the fridge for several months but somehow I don't think it will last that long!
I still have one more of the salves from this batch left!
Rose petal (from my garden) infused olive oil, rose hip seed oil, beeswax, and mica powder.
Can be used for chapped lips, dry skin, and even has some anti-aging properties!
Get yours now!

I just posted homemade small batch rose salve in my Etsy shop.
Rose petal (from my garden) infused olive oil, rose hip seed oil, beeswax, and mica powder.
No fragrance or essential oils added-- its all natural baby.
Can be used for dry skin, dry lips, and even has some anti-aging properties!
You should check it out and get yourself some. :D

Today's pepper harvest from the greenhouse (converted swimming pool 😀 ). Going to freeze this lot into bags ready for the winter
32°C in the shade.
41°C in full sunlight.
22°C inside the house. No heating/cooling system. Just straw-wood-earth house. So far so good.
First passata making session this morning. 50 bottles heating in the boiler.

Not a bad first picking of our peppers and tomatoes, in spite of the late spring, and summer of storms.

#SelfSufficiency
(from The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency: the Classic Guide for Realists and Dreamers)
@phillip happy people are generally able to do some things for themselves that others pay for. They take pleasure in their labors, and since they want their friends and neighbors be similarly satisfied, they are generous with their knowledge.
I'm a raw #vegan #fruitarian #musicproducer / #musiclover on a journey to #unlearn many things I have grown accustomed to, a #unity #consciousness explorer with a focus on creating #abundance and #fulfillment for everyone / everything. 😇️
Among others, I invest in animal / human #liberation, #bicycle riding, #cargobike culture, #dancing, #foss, #freedom, #joking, #kindness, #laughter, #linux, #nature, #opensource, #positivethinking, #selfsufficiency, #sustainability, #singing. 🥰️
From my girlfriend’s garden:
This is a Milpa (or three sisters) – an indigenous, traditional form of agriculture from Middle America. Squash, Beans and Corn are planted together and complement each other: The Squash’s leaves cover the soil and stop it from drying out, the Corn serves as a climbing structure for the Beans, and the Beans provide nutrients the other two plants need.
I have the worst sleep schedule in the world.
I also run a small business on #etsy.
I spent my night making #fuckspez stickers, and #joinlemmy stickers.
I also started a #rose oil steeping, to be used in making a rose #salve in a few weeks.
Oh, and I started testing my #pumpkinspice sugar scrub.
Later today, after I eventually crash out and sleep will be creating more #candles, and crocheting some dish cloths.
Who knows, maybe I'll end up making some #bracelets later, too.
The #ADD mind in action.
Anyway, check out my store if you want to.

“If you're regularly asking “should I move out?”, chances are your life will improve significantly after doing so. I've convinced myself for years that it wasn't worth it, but living alone has been nothing but nourishing.”

A quotation from Thomas a Kempis:
«««««
Now, God has thus ordered things that we may learn to bear one another’s burdens; for there is no man without his faults, none without his burden. None is sufficient in himself; none is wise in himself; therefore, we must support one another, comfort, help, teach, and advise one another.

Well our little swimming pool to greenhouse conversion seems to be starting to pay off. The tomato plants are almost my height (1.8m) and we are waiting patiently for them to ripen. The cucumbers are ready to eat and delicious, as are the lettuce. Red and green peppers a bit behind but starting.

Made some more floral #pollinator pots for some local plant buying customers. I only sell very healthy plants, in enriched soil & feed them before selling so buyers don't need to do much except transplant & keep up regular watering. I gift extra #plants to many regulars too.

Not trying to be negative but, imho, I think I can spot "spoon-feeding" when I see one. My deeper question is: why haven't consumer-based and/or community-based platforms for economic meals emerged from non-governmental entities in Singapore? But if there indeed have been, then I stand corrected.🙏🇸🇬 #communityspirit #gotongroyong #kampungspirit #socialresponsibility #SelfSufficiency #StrongSocietyVSBigGovernment #bochup #kiasu #kiasee #SelfReliance #SocialIntegrity #HelpOneAnother
3 weeks ago we put a small polytunnel in our swimming pool. Did it to improve water efficiency in a smaller area. Yesterday evening we ate our first lettuce and the rest of the crops are shooting up. Tomatoes, red & green peppers, chilli, broccoli, cucumber all doing well. And, no problem with wild boar destroying the crops 😂
Chickens in the olive grove and the garden finally planted up on a beautiful may evening.

Since the property I live on has no natural topsoil (like NONE, just grit and rock that somehow grows quack grass and invasives very well) I have been gardening in raised beds. The standing dead log surrounds that came off the mountains around here have finally given up and will go back into the earth. The new frames are cedar that is eco-logged from the mountain across the lake. Not kiln dried and has the smallest trip from there to here. In fact, it is almost impossible to see the area that is logged and has been for the last 30 years. This way is the right way. The riparian areas are not damaged, the wild ungulates have grazing, the nesting trees are not disturbed.
The raised beds will be ready for planting in a couple of days. This may seem like boring mundane work but for me and my family, there is nothing more important.

Huw is a kind and intelligent soul. His channel rarely has things like this on it. Mostly it is very well thought-out gardening techniques. Here he talks about self-sufficiency. "The key to self-sufficiency is diversity". He is correct. Never rely on one crop. Add as much diversity as your gardens will allow.
Tons of good info on this channel with inspiring beautiful vegetable gardens.

I understand that what is going on in Lake Arrowhead, CA is not normal for them. They did not expect to be buried under 9 feet of snow. I sincerely hope that they receive the help they need. I also hope that after this crisis is over, the residents there and everywhere deeply understand that we are in uncertain times and weather is doing unprecedented things now. The old norms can no longer be depended on.
This, more than ever, clearly is an example of how imperative it is to be prepared. When your life and those of your family are dependent on specific medications, baby formula, and other necessities of life, being prepared is not a mutual aid situation. It is personal. When every person in a community is going through the same crisis, and are dealing with their own needs, it is critical to have thought ahead to what you and your family are going to need.
Pay attention to the weather forecasts and predictions, take seriously the worst case scenarios, prepare for the most extreme situations that could arise. Stock up medications, be absolutely certain you have enough necessities on hand to get through anything and then longer. Then, if you have more than you need, you are able to share. The best kind of mutual aid is assisting and encouraging others ahead of time to be more prepared for themselves.

#ViewingJasperMountain is quite outdated, climate-wise, and perhaps a bit naive. It consists of "blog" posts from the late 90s, mostly. But as it's largely about someone's thoughts while #homesteading and taking a stab at #SelfSufficiency, maybe some of those thoughts will be useful to others.
Of course, we do tend to get what we pay for. 😉

"When we look at the future we have three basic choices: we can continue as we are at present, short sightedly guzzling finite resources in a crazy rush of consumerism; we can attempt to mollify some of the grosser aspects of consumerism, and try still to hang on to our present ‘living standard’; or we can change, willingly, profoundly and radically." -John Seymour

“The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only ten percent of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter"
