Grew up in a small town in Florida and went to highschool in south western North Carolina. I spent 8 years in the Navy as an Electronics Technician and ended up in Virginia. Currently in school for Horticulture, but city life really isnt for me, and Im running out of garden space on my small half acre. I would like to buy some land in the south eastern US to start a homestead/farm/nursery. I am into natural, sustainable and organic farming methods, aquaponics, and plant breeding. Id like to have an experimental farm growing uncommon crops (natives and exotic), aswell as zone pushing and growing cold hardy tropical plants.
My family roots run deep here on the east coast, being some of the original settlers, and I am very proud of my culture and heritage. As a southerner that has traveled, I understand a lot of people are judgemental and not OK with that, so im just putting it out there.
When I am not worshipping my plants, I like to go hiking, kayaking, fishing, hunting, and just general exploration of the natural areas around me. Music taste is from bluegrass and old country to classic rock and heavy metal, big fan of oldies. I like to learn about herbal medicines and ethnobotany. Im usually pretty laid back, but large crowds, traffic, and just too many people can cause me some anxiety. Politically I lean Libertarian, but I don't like to follow politics, and I usually don't care for people that do.
Just thought I'd see what kind of folks are on here, it's hard for me to meet like minded people here.
