I'm just a homesteading empty-nester building a nest egg for my golden years. I'm feathering my nest in Central Florida USA.

Last Notes npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks! I want to get all our systems in place before my husband and I turn 60. Setting ourselves up to retire on out homestead. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thank you! It's an adventure ✨️ ☺️ I do have a blog about our homestead. Https://ourfrugalfloridahomestead.com npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Yes, I see a lot of mangoes, however, just a few for fresh every season is satisfying for us. Tangerine sounds good. We already have lemons, kumquat, and one lime. We like citrus. We're in our 50s, so I plan for fresh eating year round and not too much effort preserving. Would like to trade/barter fruit for services on the property as we get old.... yeah, we plan waaayyy ahead! Thanks for the suggestions! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Not sure either, another plant to put on my list to research. We live 20 minutes drive to the Gulf of Mexico. Seaberry "sounds" like a good suggestion 👍 ... some day this land will be managed by new caretakers. We're setting up not only for ourselves, but for the future land users. I might be overthinking this project, but it's important when planting with decades ahead top of mind.😊 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks for the suggestions! We have avocado, loquat and peaches already. I should have listed what we already have. I will look into pride of Barbados. I've learned that good support species are essential to the survival of my fruit trees. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks for the reminder, mimosa sounds like a great idea. I once rented at a house that had a mimosa tree out front and it grew so fast. It's a pretty tree too. I'm always looking at function. And my husband is always looking at beauty in the landscape. It's an interesting combination of ideas we come up with.🙂 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thank you, I have been following David The good for many years and have a few of his books. I always seek out a wide variety of opinions and experiences. Even though his are excellent, there's a lot of other experiences out there worth considering. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Maybe pecans.. They are the only nut trees I see for sale in our region. But they grow so big. I'm thinking with a small orchard, I'd rather have smaller trees. Plus I'm no spring chicken at 55 years old. I'll be retirement age by the time I see any nuts growing on a nut tree in my backyard.😁 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Hey there #permies 👋 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa My #kitties haven't shown their faces here in a while... 🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning, # coffee chain! ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Yeah, they got dried out and "cooked" under the plastic dome. As soon as my seedlings come up, I take off the plastic domes so the greenhouse effect doesn't overheat them. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks! I'll do some experimenting. I have a lot of pines on my homestead. I am always trying to find ways to produce items from my property. This sounds like a tasty option 😋 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa That sounds 😎 cool! Can that work with any pines? And how do you use the syrup once it's ready? npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Great idea! 😊 thanks npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see the head and front arms/claws of a mutant red and black crab. 🦀 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Hey homesteaders and wannabe homesteaders!👋 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Me too! Thank you for sharing this! It brought back so many memories 🥰 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a baby duck wearing boxing gloves sitting on a U-shaped log down by the river. In the background are two faces staring at me from the mists... npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Ohh.. I was just thinking... once you get good at brewing, fresh fruit puree added into the second ferment like loquats make flavorful drinks too😋 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Awesome! There's links to Farmhouse Teas in my newsletter. That's where I get all my supplies and flavors for second fermenting. They sell starter kits and they're having a kombucha sale this week. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning!😊 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I got your humidity today!😕 we are so hot and steamy! Enjoy your cooler weather 😎 😊 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see the spirits (ghosts?) Of Watership Down. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Looove cherries! Enjoy! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks! Diversifying my homestead income 🙂 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Hi all!👋 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a blue bunny rabbit with a cute blue nose and orange ears hiding behind a cast iron gate that kinda looks like the letter M. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see an overhead view of the mysterious and rare Thunderstorm Moth. This nocturnal insect appears only before approaching thunderstorms in the deep darkness of heavy cloud cover, or more commonly at night. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good day! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Aww, it's a baby owl with his stubby halfgrown feathers floofed out as he extends his wings. His feet are stretched out too. Looks like he fell backwards. Hopefully not out of his nest!! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a demon rising from darkness, it's pale bone-like skull staring through me as I stand mesmerized. It's nostrils don't blow smoke, but the mists of time that steal from our living days. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks for sharing that. I listened to it twice, it was so inspiring! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa So true! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a strong warrior with battle-hardened abs, his face hidden in the cropped image. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Never forget npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning/afternoon 🙂 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Ha! Thankfully for others, I am not THAT ambitious!😁 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a ghostly face of a fox staring out from the depths of the bog where he had been chasing a rabbit, slipped, and fell into the watery depths beneath the spongy surface. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Yes, it's weird, but I've gotten used to it.🤷♀️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see the face of a Llama pushing through the mists of early morning. Its ears are still hidden in the fog. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see the face if a giant puppy with his floppy ears flopping alongside his head. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Love your loquats! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Top image with child a bit of a smile. I like the font better too. The darker bolder font not as lighthearted. 👍 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Awww... a sleeping bunny face. White face, dark around its closed eyes and dark chin and floppy ears. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Ha! Good morning, and thanks! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning ##coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Zone 9. Subtropical Florida. But mulberries grow great in a lot of zones. There should be some variety that grow where you are. I was told when given the cuttings that they are ever-bearing. They do grow fruit several times in a year. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa We are pricing bird netting right now. We have a lot of fruit trees started on our property. And I'm sure the birds and squirrels will soon find them. Good luck with yours! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I love them too! And some day so will my chickens and cattle. I'm going to propagate a bunch more of them and plant them all over the property to feed my family and my livestock. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning ##coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I have a few answers here: https://ourfrugalfloridahomestead.com/12-questions-to-ask-before-you-start-homesteading/ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see the last two dodo birds on earth sitting on the ground, having a conversation about extinction. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Great questions! I've been working on answers to some of them. And you gave me a few new questions to answer. Thanks! I'll keep everyone updated on my progress with my book writing. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning ##coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Fruit trees are awesome edible landscaping plants! When I lived in the suburbs, many of my neighbors had beautiful fruit trees in their yards. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks! We are designing our irrigation system for our 3 acres right now. 👍 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I've never heard of Koppen climate classification, thank you for your suggestions! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #homesteaders ! 👋 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning ##coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Hey all👋 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa "As the molten lava of the volcano spew from above, high up into the air, it fell just as quickly down into the ocean. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks, I'm familiar with that long trip. My daughter lives just outside of Knoxville. I'll be switching over to iced tea soon.😁 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Thanks! Your Homestead sounds like a challenging environment! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning! Thank you for the order. They're a yummy heat lover. I'm trying to find a lot of heat tolerant edibles to grow, eat, and sell. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa B npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Great music 🎶 to end my lunch break!! Scrolling ##inkblotart while lunching is so much fun! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a giant eagle with his wings set back, crouching just before he jumps into the air and takes off in flight. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️☺️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Mmmmm garlic mashed potatoes-my favorite! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see fresh dug potatoes laying out on our cement patio, a puddle of muddy water at the edge (bottom)of the pile. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa What kind of mulberries? Mine are black ever-bearing, not sure of variety. And between 5 and 8 feet tall, 3 years old. Yours look great! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see the tip of an ornately designed spearhead being dipped into a magical combination of water, oil, and unnamed ingredients to cool the metal and embrace it with deep earth elements. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Oh yes, hitting Mid 80s today. Soil is getting warm fast. We only got 2 frosts this winter. Our last frost date is February 14. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a crazy rooster 🐓 flying up in my face, ready to attack! He's moving so fast, his feet are a blur. His wild flapping wings are producing a flurry of feathers 🪶 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Looks ominous! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Oh, I can imagine how tough that is. I got relabled from 9a to 9b. Everyone's getting warmer. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Yes, the corn did good. The cooler weather resulted in shorter ears and less pollination though. Maybe the short daylight hours too. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Yeah, I grew up and raised my kids(and gardened) in Michigan... cold, cloudy, very short growing season. I love the 4-season growing here in Florida, but there's a lot more pests and diseases with no freeze to kill them off every winter... and then there's fire ants...🔥 🐜 gotta watch for them when you put your toes in the dirt!😬 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning #coffeechain! ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a giant Hawk that just grabbed a white Bunny rabbit by the scruff of his neck and he's flying off to have a snack! npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa That sounds yummy! I enjoy lots of flavors, especially new flavors. My husband is a bit picky though. npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning, #coffeechain!☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see two mummies lying face to face on an unearthed tomb. They each hold a round object wrapped... perhaps a mummified cat to join them on their journey to the afterlife?🤔🐈 npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa Good morning ##coffeechain ☕️ npub1q4e23x480fcn2wpxh7ufl8h2mtd06g0ynjdeaqjgqtkn2pae2awsd95ftj Alisa I see a golden helmet of an ancient warrior king.
