Been a while since I posted

  Hello, and thank you for stopping by.

  I haven’t posted in a while. it seems I am easily distracted. I’d met someone, and we chatted for some months.

  Apparently, my need to write and be heard can be satisfied  with chatting.

  I find myself disappointed in my lack of discipline where writing is concerned. My lack of focus upsets me, I’ll never be able to monetize my blog or YouTube channel if I can’t stay focused and write on a schedule.

My YouTube is, of course, more of a vlog, which I enjoy almost as much as I do writing. While still not the best, I feel my recording is improving. And I enjoy posting, though my following is quite small. I still feel as if I may help someone with what I share. Or at least I hope someone finds what I share useful.

I’m finding that at my age and with raising young kids, a relationship just may not be in the cards for me, and if so, that’s just the way it goes.

One thing I do know that is and will be here for me for years to come is writing.

Until or unless my mental capacity fades, I’ll be able to put thoughts into words and share them.

Today, I worked on cleaning my space up and started refilling my slightly oversized compost bin back up with my second batch. The first batch is well rotted, and much is suitable for starting seeds in.

At the start of spring, I’ll build my 3rd and final bin and turn my existing pile over into it and sift out what I need to fill my pots and trays, which in reality I will try to do around the end of December.

My hope is to start about five thousand plants, I’d started two thousand plants last season. Most was wiped out by a nasty hail storm. I’ve heard insect netting helps limit hail damage, so I plan on getting some to cover the plants I plan on growing for our use. I also want to throw some over the greenhouse for a just in case.

Hopefully, the rest will sell. If not, I’ll try to barter or perhaps give some away. I like trading plants for others that I do not have. I’d traded a vine start for a succulent start. Actually, they gave me two small starts, I now have four. I hope to have many more by springtime. I’ve found the leaves themselves will set roots.

May your ventures be met with success.
