PLEASE be interested in growing food – fruits – perennial food plants – annual vegetables – food forest – amazing plants and trees
propagating food plants
30 minutes west of the Ocean, I have a 2/1 house on 3/4 acre – with many fruit trees and plants as well as vegetable gardens. I am planting annual vegetables as well as perennial greens and food plants. I also grow nectar plants for pollinators. I just bought a wooded lot next door to protect what little habitat still exists and maintain privacy. I would love to have a few folks assist with building a small accessory house in cement block as a hurricane shelter and an additional residence, as well as, to plant more food forest and enlarge the gardens. I have no debt. I am a lifelong artist – sculptor – painter. Potential exists for an art based enterprise or a food or plant based project. – Open to discussions! the land and house I now have is mid – east coast Florida – south of the space center 30 miles or so. I am 71, reasonably powerful, strong – spiritual. I – meditate daly and have for 50 and more years, mostly vegetarian, artist, musician, (midi music studio and acoustic – electric instruments available) Art equipment and tools available…. smoke 420 and drink wine. hoping to find folks who could assist in a project and might invest $ and labor for a shared ownership or long term living arrangement. Open to anything – Now, located in a residential neighborhood which has been developed in the last few years leaving little remaining habitat. As a result, lots of animals now live in my wooded lot, raccoons – possums – 1 feral nice cat and 1 feral – you have to be careful – guy – the large back yard is somewhat private and fenced although the very old fence is not doing well, I am planting more bushes and trees to maintain privacy without adding more fence. There are many animals and I provide dry cat food to the raccoons and possums, and I feed the feral cats (2) I provide many available sources of clean fresh water daily.
At age 71 – I am enthusiastic about adding more food. More fruit, more perennial food plants, more color – more flowers of every type – perennials! I am not working very hard on the property – though I trim trees and weed to keep things from out of control – status! I would enjoy an older couple – or woman – or a younger man capable of building, for the right fit, I will offer eventual partial ownership.
A mile from grocery and other stores and a nice bike path is available. Pizza delivery is available! amenities so far include – 1 – 2/1 house with stained cement floors, wifi, fire stick tv – well water, ac., fruit trees, gardens… – Open to all. Email me – 1 room available and a nice tent. More space as needed.
I just bought a new 2024 Toyota for shared use.

I am adding color – where I have always concentrated on fruit, vegetables, perennial food plants and nectar producing flowers. Now, I am adding colorful flowers and bushes – adding more visual pleasures.
There is a nice diverse salad available every day of the year.
Florida and this county are generally conservative – I am NOT
