I really appreciate the advice, "You don't have to be self-sufficient in everything, just something." I easily get obsessive and fall into the cognitive distortion of all-or-nothing thinking, overwhelming myself and halting progress.

"Let me try to do this quickly so you don't get bored"<br>Don't you worry. I could literally listen to you talking about gardening for hours.

We've all been taught by society to not know how to do anything. They want us to stay dependent.

I thnk having a garden makes people live longer. Not from eating the food, but from the feeling it gives the gardener. It is the most peaceful pursuit. Can be a lot of work, especially in the beginning, but it is peaceful work, the food TASTES better and knowing you grew it is a satisfying feeling. You are a good presenter as well. BB

It's the accent, it's the clever one liners, it's the ease of "you can do this" attitude. A wonderful break from the static around us. God bless you

Indiana, USA…This was so well done. I am 68 yrs old and have never really built much but in 2020 have scrounged around for wood, dragged out my dad’s old hand saw and gave it a go. Have constructed 10 or so garden beds and am growing in containers inside many of them. Went to goodwill and bought what canning jars I could, running them through the sanitizing cycle in my dishwasher, asked around among family and friends for canning supplies,etc. I put up an inexpensive greenhouse all by myself. It has all been by myself. By the end of 2021 I have fine-tuned and better organized my efforts, eating my canned goods, etc. I am anxiously looking forward to 2022 as I mulch leaves, break up sticks, add food scraps, shredded paper etc to the two new pallet compost bins I have held together with zip ties! Having a good time creating, getting exercise, growing and eating my foods. I am vegetarian so have not branched out into keeping animals. You stay safe. I appreciate learning so much from you. Thank you.
