We've been watching various homesteader's youtube videos. Some surprisingly good, with some excellent information. Some are just meh...you'd think after homesteading here in our self built earth shelter, living hand to mouth for the first years...off grid with a hand pump and outhouse...from 1984 to 2007 without running water (when we dug out the side of the house and added a bath and laundry room...what a great choice)...Well, you'd think there'd be few things you could teach this old dog. But some of these folks have some wonderful ideas that we may be using come garden time. Being up here in the frozen north, don't have to think about that for awhile.
Did enjoy "Call the Midwife"...all through with that for now, although they plan two more years of programs. Saw all of Longmire a few years back. I'd hoped his daughter would become Sheriff and there'd be a spin off. Watched the old "Strike Back", but the new one just didn't catch our attention. Watched "Mrs Maisel", which is a hoot. Mostly we can't seem to find a series which catches our attention for more than a few episodes. I watched all of "Star Trek, Discovery" and love how the scientist who is in charge of on board propulsion is named Paul Stamets, who is a famous real life mycologist, and bases his faster than warp drive on the mycelial mat which connects all the universes, and with the aid of a giant Tardigrade, Paul Stamets connects himself to the drive...it's quite trippy, and is important in our permaculture applications. Mycelial mats connect everything in our forest gardens. It's important not to till, for that reason. Josh Sattin's youtube presence is amazing. He has the no weed method down. He also has some wonderful trellis ideas. A lot of his "style" doesn't translate from North Carolina coast to Northern Minnesota tundra, but I've learned a lot from watching his well made videos. I highly recommend watching him. Okay, I'm done. It's 4 feet of snow, gray, and a bit dismal out...I hate these overcast days of mid winter...humid...and cold to the bone. Even the birds, deer and squirrels aren't active...it's like a bit of frozen time.
