Hello Growing Community... let's give a warm welcome to @Rheanna Dorton She comes to us from the Panhandle of Florida, zone 8b, not to far from @Rodney Thompson Outdoor Skills. Rheanna, When you have time, could you tell us about your food forest progression and what your vision is 5 years down the road. How big of an area will you be working in 2026. Do you know your % organic matter in your growing space? Thank you

@Ruan Welgemoed @Sissy Eaton @Dar Brown @Manda Jackson I updated your Oasis; when you have time, please check the data and let me know if something does not look right. Thank you Happy New Year @Rodney Thompson Outdoor Skills I'll get yours started this week.

Got out today and got the garden tilled and ready. The shared work and conversations here were the push I needed to step outside and put my hands in the soil. Nothing rushed, nothing flashy — just steady, intentional progress. This is the kind of work that compounds over time and reminds me why showing up consistently matters. 🌱 Where the Map Ends, The WILD begins!! Stay Rugged.
