Keep up the drive to get a small ranch, farm in PR, imagine the real estate practices are similar to what the USA does to buy land.

I have some dwarf trees plan on taking with me when I find a small plot of land in another state. Good luck!

Marjorie, Inoticed that your plants are in plastic pots. It's there not an issue with ingesting plastic particles when you consume the plants? I've tried to shy away from plastic containers myself but it's difficult and can be expensive. I'd love your input.

I've just recently been receiving your emails and watching you on YouTube. I've enjoyed your wisdom and sharing your experiences.

A little too late thinking about microplastics being ingested. Plastics is part of petroleum oil. There was a guy who did a study on tracking three plastic recycle shipments. One electronic tracker either found or died, the other two kept going.

He found out that the BS recycle of plastic was being bought and sold from one company to another.

Interesting stories done by investigative reporters on plastic recycling on U-tub.

Another story; The USA renewables mostly plastic was eventually shipped from the USA and bounced around Europe. Found the plastic trash was kept in large warehouse storage and still nothing was done.

No different than many countries dumping their trash into the ocean that turn into floating islands.

You think the oil content in plastics could be used for fuel source for energy production.

Maybe some Elon Musk character will devise a plan to make that an energy source for the planet.

I have a Gorilla Cart too and I use it for so many things, including hauling groceries from the car to the house. Today it was used to haul straw to the garden to use as mulch.

Marjory, this was a really inspiring video for me. It caught me at just the right time when I'm feeling overwhelmed by things. Seeing how you're just making what you have work is so helpful! You're gentle voice and chilled out rhythm is such a joy to listen to and watch. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!! :)
