I have a nice big greenhouse here on the farm... I have never used it. Now seems like a good time.

I know nothing about gardening, but I suppose I can figure something out... gardens were my late sister’s thing.

I have two wells here, one is a shallow well in a stone well-house and I need to figure out how to get a hand-pump installed in there...in case of a power failure.

I have a 1500gal water tank that can gravity feed to the house, I need to fill that....soon.

We live in interesting times...

Interesting times indeed. Sounds like you’ve got a great place for gardening. Start small, and expand as long as you can still manage everything. Square Foot Gardening is a good technique to use.

If your have never used a greenhouse, know that the biggest threat in the summer is over-heating. Plan for ventilation and even shade. Water is an obvious need.

Some Democrat described farming as throw some seeds, add some dirt and water, and FOOD.

Not quite that easy, perhaps, but makes more sense than learning to code.

In other words, a little sweat equity yields results. Grow green beans and tomatoes.
