hay! reuben titus here hidin out back in the woods somewhere in TN. Been eatin home grown maters and all kind of other garden stuff since I can't remember when, soimething in excess of 40 years I guess. I'm a sittin here with lots of ideas and plenty of land, adequate tools and machinery, but very little in the way of dollars. My old business of sawin trees and sellin lumber has gotten a bit tired, sellin trees for timber is slowin down. Been working on pulpwood more now to finish clearing out a few acres. I'm seriously thinkin about growing food for a livin and since maters are the no 1 fruit of choice for most produce buyers, they'll have to be a big part of it. I have eaten some I grew that were absolutely heavenly delicious. If I can grow em all like that they'd be so popular I wouldn't be able to keep up with demand.
My goal is year round production, outside in summer and greenhouse for summer and winter. (If I can figure out how to keep it cool enough in summer) something to work on anyway.
I have ancestors that were inventors and they seem to have lent me their heritage, so don't expect me to be quite normal.
Specially since I didn't attend a normal school either.
Got most of my early learnin from a big city public library readin about inventors and inventions with momma as overseer even though we lived way out in the woods 20 miles from the city. (which land is no longer way out in the woods which is why we moved away from there, sold 17 acres and bought 80 for less money, but that was 25 years ago) independent outside the box thinking is normal. The rare inventions I've come across would boggle the mind of a normal person. You'd think I was crazy if I started talkin about em. But I can do my own foundry and machining I can make my own generators and motors, turn junk TV's and other stuff into useful gadgets. I think I can make greenhouses very profitable with some little known technology.
Got a bunch of horses too, you know, those critters that magically turn hay into fertilizer. And I like riding them down trails too, went camping with one several times between May and Nov. Oh well, see ya'll around the mater field.
