Why I lost interest again in using lens - a breakup letter
A social media network can't sustain itself in the mere premises of having more control.
What matters is substance, community, dialog and constructive relationships.
I am afraid to say that none of that can be easily found here.
Incentives are skewed towards the wrong things - money, fame, self promotion, looking for acceptance.
It feels to me that 95% of the people here are:
I will continue staying dormant - maybe repost other content from other social medias if I consider it potentially interesting for that 5% left here - but this is just because I hope maybe in the future things will change.
Peace out
Today I do a small tour of my farm and share some thoughts on how I plan it.
Today I take you into my grafting learning journey!
A huge step, in setting up my permaculture small farm.
In this way, I control the input of plants I wish to clone and which more resilient local plants I want to make use of.
Pushing for tasty 😋 high-yield fruit trees 💪, with a low risk of disease exposure.
Here is common to graft... Almonds/🍑apricots/prunes together 🫒Wild olive (Olivastro in Italiano 🇮🇹) with Bosana variety - they make up 50% of our regional oil production 🍒Wild Cherry (Amarena in Italiano) with Cherries of all colors and shapes
This is my first year trying after some mentoring from my uncle.
Today we released 3 turtles in the wild.
Grown in captivity, now they are big enough to be safe from boars and hopefully foxes 🤞
Everybody told me I could not grow avocados in this side of the world (southern Italy).. well guess what?
After a full year got my first flowering avocado tree 🤌🤌
🌿🍍 Monstera Deliciosa: A Tropical Treat!
Ever wondered about those funky-looking fruits dangling from Monstera plants? Yes, they're edible!
But beware, while the ripe parts are deliciously sweet and reminiscent of pineapple and banana, the unripe fruit and other parts of the plant can be toxic if ingested.
To enjoy this exotic delight, wait until the scales on the fruit peel away and reveal the soft, creamy flesh inside.
Just be sure to steer clear of the unripe bits as they contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and discomfort if ingested.
🌿 Kumquat Plant Spotlight 🍊
Did you know that kumquats are unique among citrus fruits because you can eat the entire fruit, including the peel?
These tiny tangy treats pack a punch of flavor and are loaded with vitamin C.
Originating from China, kumquats have become a beloved addition to gardens worldwide. 🌱
