I hope that I never get to a point that I feel like my fanny belongs only in the teachers chair. I have so much more to learn about so many things in life. It doesn't matter if you learn from people you've never met on forums such as this or from conversations face to face. If you "desire" to learn, you will learn.Stubbornhillfarm said:I think that is awesome! (and now I have a documentary to watch too!)
I have my grown daughters that I mentor, but that is a given.
I have a friend that has had lung transplants years ago due to CF. Last year I spoke to her about growing her own food. She was always making comments about me growing this or that and how she wished she could, but couldn't. She has a husband and a little boy. I convinced her that "She CAN!" grow some of her own food. I told her that the only dusty part (which is her biggest issue) is when you first plant. So we can help her. She can have her little boy water and make it a family affair. I just talked to her again and she is on board to try some container gardening!!!!!!!
Last year, my boss after hearing a couple of us employees talk about thier gardens decided to put one in. He is a city slicker, but I was really happy that he was getting into gardening. He also purchased a pig from us. We raised it, he just picked it up at the butcher. Baby steps...baby steps.
My other boss, I talked into letting his little girl get 10 baby chicks from me last year.
I must say though...that I learn just as much if not more from other gardeners and the more people I talk to the more I learn. Spread the gardening/farming info!!! Live healthier and happier! Keep up the good work all.
