Just Get Started

 Around the bend from me lives a young man who can talk all day about farming, sustainable living, survival and what not. Problem is , he has NO experience with any of it. He's a keyboard commando if I ever met one. He watches youtube and reads blogs and listens to podcasts, but he's never taken the step of actually doing any of it himself. 

Turns out all he needed was a someone to nudge him, and thats what I did. 4 weeks ago I gave him some turnip, cabbage and spinach seed, and told him to grow something in that cold frame he's a;ways talking about. That's exactly what he did too, he built a cold frame and he's got himself a real good little crop going. I'm kind of proud of being the one who gave him that nudge.

There's an old saying in the powerlifting world, and it applies to just about anything you could be interested in. It goes something like this...“Put down your books, and pick up your weights.”
