This. This is what I want. I am working for it and I hope to be there soon and out of this fucking hellhole. People around me just don't fucking get it. Extended family is treating my gardening as a "hobby". To a degree it is but I am really just trying to do more with less and produce as much as I can myself. I am limited by land right now but I am going to do some experiments with indoor gardening this winter that are NOT a part of my hydro setup. Ill document it and share it even if it is a failure. Healthy kids play in the dirt and grow food. So do healthy adults. Hard work is good for you so long as your body can still handle it. This, looks like happiness, not staring at a screen for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I didn't mention the kids but yeah, that is part of it. I hope.
