Grow food
Nourish your family. Teach your kids how to sow seeds, about plants, insects. Give them the knowledge to know how to create a thriving garden. Teach them to fish, and hunt, and fillet that fish, and gift produce.
We found a beautiful red admiral butterfly 🦋 yesterday. I don't have a picture as we enjoyed the moment too much to break out the device and capture it.
These rare beauties thrive on Nettle plants. Most people spray out Nettle. These butterflies are now rare in NZ, but named insect of the year in 2024.
We are harvesting our king stropharia mushrooms I posted about a few months ago, when I first innoculated a patch in our vege garden. There is more coming on every day.
Large dinner plate in photos. These big boys are huge and delicious 😋
The late summer garden is thriving and the winter crops are in.
I feel very humbled and blimmin exhausted most days as I process the harvests for our winter food.
But mostly
I feel totally blown away by nature, and full of gratitude for this little slice of earth i get to caretake 🍃 🍂 ☘️ 🍁 🍀 🌿
