Location: Southwest Virginia boardering North Carolina on eastern steps of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Abandoned 50 acre family farm in very private location. Abandoned because kids did not want to live in that rural of a location. Road to old house is quarter mile back into mountains off paved road. Only old time locals even know there is an old farm there. Road is no more than a rarely used lumber road. The land is a private valley backing onto mountains and is part of the mountains. The land is posted, so no hunters or fishermen. Streams are too small for fish anyway. Plus, the land is surrounded on all sides by 500 acres of land owned by a family. The family uses it as a private hunting preserve. They don't go on the 50 acres of land I'm referring to, though. And they don't allow anyone outside their family to hunt their land.
The land has excellent southern and eastern views for sunlight. Some western views. There are tree lines. Most of the land is grown up and wild. Only the house is occupied by a lady who is 84. Shoots first and asks questions later.... Typical mountain woman.
Soil on the 50 acres has lain fallow for about 40 to 45 years. Small stream runs through this valley. Natural springs sprout everywhere. Some swampy land with soil like quicksand. Water is pure & near source of springs. Land was farmed for 200 years until about 1970. Timber was cut back in the 80's, but now has grown again with populars, pines, some oaks. Owner has no intention of cutting timber again.
Several possible locations for single or double plants to be placed in coyote style grow using only native natural soil. There is a pasture that is grown up. Pasture was used for one or two milk cows. The cow shed has fallen down and has pretty much rotted away. The shed was about 40 feet uphill from the stream, with a gradual (Almost flat) incline. I'm wondering if the ground floor inside the shed would be a good place to grow, considering the manure and the rotted wood.
There was a pig pen right next to the stream. It is a bit shady where the pigs were located. But I'm wondering if the soil where the pig shelter was would be a good grow place. Again, manure and rotted away wood.
There was a large garden space at one time, where corn, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, cantalope, squash, lettace, cabbage, watermelon, black eyed peas, string beans, etc., were grown to feed 10 kids and 5 adults. There was a blacksmith's shop next to the garden area. The garden has grown over with trees now. The stream runs next to the garden area. Wild Fox grapes grow on the banks of the stream. I'm wondering if the fallow soil of the garden is still good or if the trees have sapped the nutrients. And I'm wondering how close to the stream I could place plants.
The swampy or boggy area is behind the blacksmith's shop. Of course the shop has long ago fallen in and rotted away. There is a spring there. The spring flows away from the garden area and all of that soil is very wet. I'm wondering if it is too wet to grow. And I'm wondering if the alder trees with the wild Fox grapes would be too close to the stream to hide plants inside.
There is a great disadvantage to this land. It is infested with snakes.... Big snakes. No one has been around to keep them killed out. I've run into a grandaddy copperhead that was as big around as my arm. I killed several copperheads within the space of one week. And there are rattlesnakes, too. Some say there are cottonmouth moccasins, but I'm not sure. There are water snakes that are quite large.
Also, there are black bears and mountain lions living in the area. Maybe some wolves have come back, too. The mountain lions are big enough to take a man down easily. The mountain woman who lives in the house has seen the black bears come into her yard. She has heard the mountain lion, but hasn't seen it. Many other animals come into her yard. There are raccoons, foxes, possums, deer, turkey and more snakes. The mountain woman's dogs and cats keep coming up missing. She keeps big guard dogs, too.
I'm considering a grow of an Indica Dominant strain. I want maximum potency for a long lasting high. I like a mellow high, which does not place a strain on my already far overstressed and liver damaged body. I have body aches already, so I don't want or need the kind of stone that makes me want to twitch and grind my teeth. Cottonmouth is not desirable. Dry mouth does not help. Munchies are okay as long as a meal will satisfy it. I prefer a state of stoned mind that sends me into deep thoughts and allows me to explore my universe. A heavy mind stone is okay for me. Otherwise, I don't feel like I have accomplished much by getting stoned. I'm retired, single and spend most of my time alone, so I'm not worried about driving or having visitors come over much. I'm a loner and I like it that way. It would take a very strong woman to be able to live with me, so after three divorces, I really don't care anymore. Thus, I just need a nice stone to make life a little better for myself, take away some pain and put my mind into the heavens for a while.
