Hey guys, I don't post much lately. Still busy with the new house and various other stuff. Not much prepping, though with the new things done in house, I always think of ways to improve it for such situations or to create some hideout spots.
Since I can't afford a weed-whacker now, I'm getting better with good old scythe, so at least one new skill. I mean, I used it many times before, but now I'm having my own that I'm tuning to my height and style. Also getting better at peening it to sharpness. Still not achieving the ease of movement and effectiveness of experienced old users, but I'm getting there.
Planting some tomatos, mainly just trying out what can be grown here.
Searching our new property in full grow now, I'm glad to see we have enough plantain and several other herbs, also discovered we have wild lettuce (historically known as "poor man's opium") and I'm studying possible uses of it. Currently making tincture of chopped stems and blossoms in vodka. From what I've read, this plant can be very useful as mild painkiller and such. But sure, so can the vodka itself.
