Is really nice and enjoyable to have a vegetables garden somewhere.
Not just because you have your own healthy food but also to stay outside in the nature, with the plants.
Is not about saving money for not buying vegetables / fruits from the market.
But there's proof of work doing your own garden.
I did it many years for myself, I left big city exactly to have this opportunity to have my own garden.

You will always learn something new because you have to adapt to the plants, to the weather, to the soil and all of these are changing ALL THE TIME.
You will experiment a lot and there's a lot of fun too.
I really enjoyed doing these "organized" plots, was like a game.

Then taking care of the plants is also an important thing, each one will have its own way to grow and you will learn by testing, failures, experimenting etc.
I really recommend to all stackers to try it.
Once I will finish my citadel 1st house I will start working on my land, with a beautiful garden.
@Natalia and @DarthCoin living their best lives. I'm jealous!

Still, you have a very adventurous life. I admire when people follow such an amazing path in life. Keep that flame burning for as long as possible because that's true freedom, following your bliss.

You are the captain of your own ship, and remember that nothing stops you from living your own life, but yourself.

Sage advice.

Me too. I had a vegetable garden for many years. We still keep a small one. My family were Italian immigrants who settled in Brooklyn, NY, which was a city. Both of my grandfathers had small patches of land behind their houses. They used every inch to grow all kinds of vegetables. One even had a grape arbour. They would also keep goats! All this in the middle of a city

This was the norm when I was a child... love to garden in the backyard, almost any house have one, maybe I was very luck to born far from big cities.
You learn a lot, patient, nurture, planing, accounting, a lot of skills.

kinda funny right, people used to move into cities for better jobs, now people moving back to remote places to live an off-grid life 😳
reply
There is always a trade off... I get tech and internet 8 years after people in big cities, but now it's more easy to move almost off-grid in some countries.

yes, and Internet and Bitcoin is a game changer ⚡️

I feel like I have been living my entire life the artificial way 🤯
- central heating VS burning wood
- supply chain food full of chemicals VS food from the nearby soil
- being surrounded by noise VS being surrounded by birds and flowers
- learning from schools VS learning from nature

Never been more motivated to purchase land. Must stack corn as well as grow it.

I want to have my own space to do different experiments and think, living in cities feels like being caged and too "noisy" - I need to stack more skills to be more free.
