This is also going to be our new occupation because of the green movement. Only we won't own the farm or be able to eat what we grow. It will all go to the oligarchy who controls us.

If you are lucky enough to live in farmable areas.

I am getting close to retirement and mine and my wife's plans are to live in the country. I live in the suburbs right now. If push came to shove before this fascist regime takes control there are ways to grow a lot of food on a small lot that were not known or considered decades ago. I might be able to get by. I hate mowing the lawn anyway. I would rather turn it all into a fruit and vegetable garden.

Yep my plan too.

Already living it. It is awesome. You really gotto try the tomatoes.

We usually grow a few tomato plants every year. We haven't in the last 2 but I've had fresh tomatoes from the garden. We have a vegetable garden area that the previous homeowners built before we moved in. We've planted all sorts of stuff over the years. Corn is the one thing that didn't do very well here.

We also had chickens for a couple of years. The city allows you to have up to 6 hens, no roosters. We gave them away when they stopped laying eggs. We also had bees for a few years but they died.

Currently I got tomatoes, green beans, bell peppers, grapes, apples, plums, garlic and lavender and I have a mango tree which is a year old... in a agricultural zone b. I am the only one in the city with a mango tree, which survived first winter.

That's amazing. What state do you live in. I'm in Utah and there's no way we could grow a mango tree here. We might even have too dry of a climate. Mango trees being tropical might do better in a more humid environment. But I have no idea if that even matters.

We didn't plant a garden this year. Instead we've been working on tearing out the lawn on the park strips (the area between the sidewalk and the street - just in case you didn't already know that). We're going to plant trees and a few small bushes and cover the rest with river rocks. There is a big push in the state to do this to help with our water supply because of the drought.

Tennessee. I take the mango tree inside and keep it there during the fall and winter. It survived the first winter so I am set. It will remain potted and not grow larger than 5 meters cube but still will produce mangoes :D

Well there you go. Tennessee has humid summers just like in a tropical area. That's awesome that you were able to keep it alive. My wife really loves figs (she likes mangoes also) so maybe well try that with a fig tree. We both are from So. California (she was born and raise, but I am originally from Georgia). We are really missing citrus trees. Where grew up it used to be mostly orange groves and then those begin to disappear and businesses took their places. My parents house had a lemon tree and a grapefruit tree. I don't like grapefruit but we always had fresh lemonade in the summer. When we retire I would like to find a place that has So. Cal weather without it being in California. So far there is no place like that in the United States. Florida and Hawaii are the closest but they are both humid and I don't like humidity. Hawaii is too far away from friends and family.

Oh i do have 2 fig trees, and 3 blue berries and some strawberries grown from seeds.

My wife just left for Tennessee. LOL. Once a year for about 2 weeks Costco gets figs in. This year and last they didn't get any and my wife has been disappointed ever since. The grocery stores usually get them also but not as many for about the same or higher price than Costco. After my wife and I got married my dad planted a fig tree in his back yard in So Cal. When we would go visit my parents and the fig tree had figs my wife and my dad would go out in the back yard and eat all of the figs.

You can grow dates in s.california. Dates are nice palm trees, you do need a male (white flowers) and female(yellow flowers) date trees else you do not get dates. People make good money out of those. Try explaining a libtard that Dates trees only have 2 genders and blow their minds away.

I know. My wife and I used to go out to a big farm store out in the desert in California that sold all sorts of dates and date products. They were famous for their date shakes. I think the name of the store was Hadleys but it's been a while so I don't remember too sure. It was sort of near Palm Springs.

I suggest trying the Flame grapefruit variety; it's quite sweet and isn't bitter.

I've never heard of that. I'll have to try that. Thanks.

Not at all suprising that the Dems have supported this for so long.

This will be farming in 2035.

"Green" farming is also called regenerative farming, which is more productive, profitable, and less fragile than "traditional" farming.
