Jumping into a full time farming by renting or buying a piece of land after 10 years from now seems like a solid plan. To accomplish that, I need to start preparing, be it the change in lifestyle, financial planning or learning how to farm. All of it are new to me, never tasted them! The desire to start farming is greater but the necessary preparations do not seem to have started yet. It looks like I need a great deal of commitment and a change in mindset.
I have to see if I can spend sometime often learning or doing something towards the idea. I can start with growing some vegetables on the terrace. I can experiment and see what goes well and what doesn't. I have already failed in looking after those 2 tomato plants on the terrace. The plants grew well, I missed to water them for about a week, the plants dried and the fruits were infected. The green chili and the bird eye chili plants are holding good so far. I have just found a way to water them by using a water bottle with a small hole, which acts as a dripping system. Need to see if it works out as a watering mechanism.

Today, I went around looking for used paint buckets, seeds, potting mixture and fertilizers. Manasa and I visited the plant nursery near our house, Varsha enterprises and an old paper mart looking for things. I was pointed to Herbs to Home for the seeds. Need to check it out next week.
