    I have a small backyard tree nursery which I use to grow rare species I give away to friends and acquaintances who have space to plant them.

    A lot of people don’t realize that climate change means species that we grew for shade historically won’t necessarily thrive in the future, and since we usually hope the trees we plant will live for 20+ years, we need to plan ahead. So I’m testing which species can be heat and drought tolerant enough to provide shade and other environmental benefits in the future.

    Learning to make, repair and upcycle my own clothes instead of relying of badly made polyester fast fashion that doesn’t fit well. Also getting my fitness up so I can bike instead of drive which is difficult because I live in an absurdly hilly area.

      Same for mending and sewing clothing. Except I’ve run aground a bit on my own perfectionism. I’ve somehow talked myself into making a pattern block for my butt so I can make the most optimal pants and shorts, but making a block is an Ordeal with Math involved and I haven’t had the bandwidth to accomplish it yet.
