Ep. 100 – Tips for Staying Positive in a Negative World

Stay Positive by Designing an Intentional Life

Shudra, Homestead Padre, and Grant Payne join me on the Thriving Community Call this month to talk about their tips for staying positive in a negative world:

“Just get goats. You’ll never be unhappy again. You’ll be angry, you’ll be frustrated, you’ll be vengeful, but you’ll never be unhappy again.”
Shudra

Prayer
Fasting from social media.
Perspective, especially as you get older. (This isn’t so bad).
Be thankful and grateful.

We also talk about what projects that have going on:

Aquaponics
Homestead Padre’s steps for Overwintering pepper plants –
- Dig up the pepper plant
- rinse off the roots
- Pot in a medium sized pot with potting soil
- Trim off the leaves so you mostly have the stem.
- Replant in the late spring when it leafs out
- This saves you time instead of growing from seed.
Homestead Padre/Joseph’s Hair Sheep and how they differ from wooly sheep.

Fall is the best time to plant a tree. The soil is still warm and you will get the most root growth. Four weeks left until first frost. #GetStuffDone.

Chestnut seeds for planting, chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings. 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.
