We’re well past genocide and into Holocaust now.

We do keep greens and such here. We have about mid November to end of February where we don’t have enough light. If we have cold weather crops already grown they will almost always hold. We usually keep greens, hearty herbs and such all year round. If we get carrots and beets and stuff under planted they will also hold in the ground. It becomes a humidity and temperature fluctuation problem with them in the hightunnel. Not to mention bugs and rodents. It’s 20’x50’ and unheated so it gets quite cold at night in the winter.

We even grow figs now. Shouldn’t be able to do that here but climate change is real.

Absolutely. Our family can grow enough for ourselves and a couple of other families. We have friends we basically coop with. We grow some things. They grow some things. We share. We also hunt fish and trap which helps and raise meat chickens and laying hens.

We start planting stuff inside and in the greenhouse in Feb/March and go through to November usually. I spend a few hours every day and my wife does as well mid season. She works a real job as well in summer so I’m on my own then. The growing is the easy part really. It’s all the storage and preservation that takes a while.

We live rurally and don’t have much money as I have been disabled for almost a decade now. What we do have is seeds and gardens. Loads of them. A large greenhouse as well. We started a small farm before I got sick with the idea that if it didn’t make money at least we would be able to eat. Then I got sick and we just continued to plant. We are fortunate to have planned early to have space to do so. At first we helped others set up homesteads and growing in our area as well and still do to some extent but guess what…we do eat and are not so beholden to the grocery oligarchs and economic system. Any little bit you can do helps.

I freely admit I stole Yam TIts from another Lemmy user and I can’t remember who or I would certainly give them credit. I feel it gets right to the point one is trying to convey.

Canada here. Same for us in the food department. though I am less enthused about what may happen to us with yam tits raging downstairs.

Maybe you have plastic testicles now… isn’t evolution amazing!

My wife used to work in the backcountry. Lots of unpaved remote roads. Bears apparently do not shit in the woods. They shit on the road.

Lots of people leaving American based social media here in Canada. That has boosted Lemmy. Likely boosted other socials as well. I imagine that’s happening other places than just here.

Sounds perfect honestly.

Banff, Jasper, Yoho and the kooteneys. Mountains, hot springs, mountain biking, hiking, climbing and skiing in season. Canada is happy to welcome you.

Or the opposite side for a completely different experience. Gros Morne, Cape Breton highlands and kejimkujik in Nova Scotia. In between visit fortresses and national historic sites as the east coast is full of Canada’s founding history.

My mom had the first tv in our community when she was a kid cause her dad owned the general store. Before that they all gathered around the radio at the store. By they, I mean the entire community cause he was the only one with a radio as well.

When I was a kid I always was amazed at things like my grandparents going from no electricity to microwave ovens and VCRs. I often wondered about huge cultural shifts and what that was like, going from preindustrial production to industrial or major shifts in religion that affected whole societies. Now I am experiencing it and it’s very uneasy but exciting at the same time. Weirdness.

Get off my lawn!

Just look at the stadiums on Sundays. Full to capacity in every major city. Broadcast live for everyone to see. Forget about your lives we give you modern gladiators. Now rejoice and pay us money!

This happens to me as well. It’s a bit annoying but I still prefer it over others.
