Ep. 108 – Tips for Developing More Patience, with Matt from FarmHopLife

You’re not as far along as you thought you would be? It’s OK.

Matt from FarmHopLife Podcast (FarmHopLife.com) joins me as we talk about developing patience.

“We are coming up on 4 years in this house…and we still just have chickens and a half-assed garden. I thought that we would be farther along by now. But also in that time my wife beat cancer and we had two kids, so there are big steps in between, and it’s OK.”

I still have Chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings available. Adapted to the Midwest.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
