It's more than just a place to grow food, it's a place to be.
Many of you have probably seen some of my efforts so far on building a garden. If so, you may have noticed that this isn't just a 20 X 30 section of soil with a fence around it. Sure, I've had ones like that before, but this time, I'm building something more.
A PLACE TO BE - MY GARDEN PHILOSOPHY VLOG
In this video, I explain that the garden is more of a homestead feature rather than just a place to grow food. It's a place for a lot more than just plants, and I intend to build it that way. Many animals also live in the garden, plus, my family and friends will spend time there too.
Whether it is gardening after dark like last night or gardening in the rain like today, the garden can be an enjoyable place around the clock. I love the interaction with my food before I get to eat it too, and that requires time in the garden as well.
I'm building a garden that will hopefully last for years to come, and it's taking a lot of work and effort. With winding paths and beds going different directions, it's also a place to slow down, relax, and wander. I can't wait to see it green up and the season continues. Hope you enjoyed the video!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…

i am very enjoy proof. i like dragon fruits.
my suggestion for dragon fruit. it can already be trimmed and given NPK type of blue color fertilizer. special fruit. in order to quickly bear fruit. keep the roots do not directly touch the ground. because it will bear fruit long. place on the location of the sun directly.
I wait for his photo when it bears fruit

I love your trestle!! (or however you spell that haha). Our garden growing up was great, my dad found a moose pelvis and used it for the scarecrow head- it was so crazy and cool looking . I never realized how artistic my father was until I was out in the world with regular people lol. Your kids are going to have great memories of working with you on all these projects, I feel very blessed to have dug in the dirt with my dad as a kid <3

Youre amazing. Just wanted to say that.

This is called "Sustainable Development", Development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising that of the future generation.
As an environmentalist i can categorically tell you that what you are doing is a way of helping the environment that has be depleted by man, although it is not a natural environment on its own, but making provisions for it to inhabit man and animals makes it exception, worthy and commendable. You are one of those who should be given an international award of recognition for upholding the principles of the environment. For also making environment that should balance the Eco-system.
@papa-pepper please keep it up, never give up, you have saved a lot of species of plants and animals, you may not know this now, but in years to come, you will understand what i am saying.
