Hello everyone. I'm new here. I haven't started gardening, farming or even homesteading yet, but I do plan on it soon. I found this site from watching Paul on Youtube. Great information. I subscribed to this site because of my hearts pull to share conversations with like minded people. Wish I stated when I was younger....missed out a lot, but here I am.

Hi Ron,

Welcome to Permies! You have found the best place on the net.

Some people age like fine wine. I aged like milk … sour and chunky.

Hello Ron, lots of helpful folk here and ready with useful advice on all manner of subjects. Don't be shy - you just have to ask

Hey Ron! Welcome. I'm in a similar boat, early on my journey toward something like homesteading. Hangin' around here has been helpful. A lot of the information and projects people discuss are way ahead of where I'm at, but I'm counting on some sort of osmosis to give me knowledge and ideas. Well, see ya in the threads.

True! It's not too late to start, Ron!
Welcome! Happy you found us.
Everyone here has been so helpful and nice and fun.
All it takes is some dirt and a seed. Or some water:

I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.

Ron, enjoy the site and the community here! There are a number of older folk here, some with decades of homesteading experience, some just starting out their Permies adventure at or beyond retirement age. Definitely never too old!

I'm only 64! That's not to old to learn to be a permie, right?
