I don't feel as bad hijacking @24's thread here as I would on Twitter because at least here he gets paid when we yak about plants while he tries to change the world.

Haha, I could talk about plants forever! I think a plant/gardening-focused twetch (e.g. subcategories: indoor plants, permaculture, homesteading, food preservation) could be quite useful and awesome. 🌱🌷🌻
On-chain Permies, the true Farmer's Almanac!
Reporting in from Zone 4B, your tomato seedlings look very healthy :) We didn't have great luck hardening ours off this year. Trying to shift to more edible perennials.
8b here - usually tomatoes get planted out May long weekend to beginning of June. This weekend's forecast is rain so will wait a bit longer. I'm pondering non-hideous ways to protect them from the rain (unfortunately, no space for a greenhouse).
4B checking in. And referencing Permies. You may be in MT? Permaculture Almanac on chain is great.
Northern MI - close only in acronym!
Both a bounty of natural beauty, though.
Permaculture is such a great concept vs monoculture, but must recognize that it is also less efficient. For better or worse... that depends on the lens through which one looks.
True! I don't see the world being fed without efficiency in production. A few radishes in your home garden or a quaint permaculture farm is very different from mass production like this: https://youtu.be/UyhHOpWdmkA

At least not the world as it is today, no. As automation and overall intelligence increases, will the world as it is today adapt accordingly?
It seems rational to conclude it probably will. But who knows.
Ick.
Permaculture can bear tremendous yields!
You're just not going to be eating staple annual crops and supply chains would be significantly shorter by necessity.
Bonsai has taught me a lot. It gives me a sense of permanence that few hobbies are able to do. Even if I never have children I plan to pass my trees down to those willing to learn the art. Legacy is not blood; rather the sum of our actions.
