Is it possible anymore for any major event to occur without conspiracy theories appearing? What kind of future is this leading to where skepticism to the authorities either gets turned up to 100 automatically or any suggestion that there might be a coverup is immediately dismissed since there is a flood of conspiracy theories about everything?
I like the idea of gardening, but whenever I've tried it my plants have died. They all do that eventually anyway, so I'm not sure if I'm bad at it or that just has to be expected.
Nature walks are a safe choice though and even possible in winter so long as you're prepared.

Gardening really just takes some trial and error. I've been growing food for several years now, and I still lose at least 20% of the varieties I plant each year. I think the key is to get 2-3 varieties of each crop you want, and generally at least one of them will like your climate. For example, I had 8 different kinds of tomato this year, and only 3 of them really took off.
It also really helps to start several of each plant indoors in cups. Seedlings dry out way faster than established plants, so starting them indoors makes it way easier to get them going.
Besides that, its really all about having good dirt, and the proper amount of sun. Keep a little notebook that documents the strain and planting date of your good plants, and in a few years gardening has a lot less guesswork to it.

Helpful advice. How do you deal with pests? I've had crops decimated by them--even plants that are supposed to be resistant to them. The worst has been watching them spread from one group to the next and knowing the fate that ultimately awaits those not yet afflicted...
My other top problem has been drainage. The soil seems to hold too much water and we get root rot and fungus killing the plants.
I don't really like the idea of using pesticides, however, so maybe this game isn't for me.

I need hobbies too. I like to garden and go on nature walks. Both are great for the head, but they're seasonal.
I'm thinking about getting into smithing/toolmaking. Maybe even engraving like this guy. I need something to do in the garage while its cold this year.
