Description
May be I can give you some inspiration for creating your own paradise?
According to the seasons you can help me :
Spring= collect wild plants, plant potatoes and early vegetables, sift the humus that my chickens have prepared by trying to find the worms in the horse turd, for the seeds for the plants like the tomatoes, which must begin to grow protected from cold. Later we will plant all this in the orchard. Bring out the manure from the cows, excellent fertilizer for the orchard and the fruit trees from cows they never have medicament and my earth should be too poor without this help. When there is a calf who can not drink all the milk, we will make some cheese, yogurt. We have to control regularly the electric fences and cut the plants touching it.
Summer= mowing with a scythe the orchards, bring the hey in, harvest and transform the fruits and vegetables that ripen, make compotes, dry, sterilize, make lacto- fermentation. Collect mushrooms, if there are.
Autumn= Continue the harvesting, pruning fruit trees, planting the vegetables resisting to the cold.
Doing all this things by keeping some time for playing music, painting, sculpting and having a lot of fun to do so different things, to be so free to have and produce our own food, without buying or selling. When there is too much there are neighbors, friends who appreciate to have some, or to exchange. Nature is generous , we should be same.
Harvest what we can and not what we would and you well see, the live becomes nice and easy. I love my anilmals but I'm neither vegetarian nor vegan.
This lifestyle makes that I can't go away to see other country and so I like to meet here other cultures,other traditions with you, I'm very curious to meet you!
