 Friendly reminder to know your growing zone and research what grows well in your zone. Growing zones are global, this is not a US based system. This is a reminder as spring is upon us in the Northeast US that many plants (particularly flowers like dahlias and zinnias) should be planted prior to last anticipated frost or immediately after. Don’t be intimated to start plants from seeds either, it’s easier than you’d think. #nostrgrower #flowerstr #flowerchain #farmstr https://image.nostr.build/72908fd3038dc4338c7fe3f63e83b431dce73620dda935df88552cf967d42218.gif  
 It's surprising how few people want to know this as it has major implications for your grow plans 
 Oh and we're gonna be then toilet bowl of magestic baby! Make all kinds of cash! I'm doug fucking wilson! 
 Set up your wallet so we can zap you! 🩷 
 I’m trying! Helppp. I’m in US and looking for a custodial wallet. I tried strike and Wallet of Satoshi and both are no longer avail in US. Any ideas? 
 #asknostr 
 Give Primal a try.  
 Ugh I tried and all was good until I tried to send a reply and they wouldn’t send. And wallet when I tried to set up, just kind of froze. Whatttttt am I doing wrong. 
 🤔 
 Check this, old but.. you can fins some useful sources, also fpr lightning 

https://intuitiveguy.bevstr.com  
 Minibits wallet provides a lightning URL that you can just copy and paste into your profile 
 Awesome. Thank you! Will try. 
 Strike is available.

 Are you on Tor or a VPN? Has your state outlawed Strike for some reason?  
 Using iPhone, no TOR/VPN. 
 I see that NY is blocked now. Sorry for the bad info. That one is buried in the fine print a little. If you're there, that's why it's not working. Did you find another solution? 
 Damn, yeah I couldn’t find the fine print so kudos to you. I got nothing. Primal blocked, wallet of satochi blocked, strike not working. Got to love government overreach. I’m not exactly an expert on these things either so ‘getting creative’ isn’t in my wheelhouse when it comes to this 
 Okay, so try coinos.io for a custodial wallet. It's a website, but you can install it as an app so it's on your home screen all the time. You can use that address with Nostr to at least receive zaps. You're avoiding the app store crap that way. 

Spend a minute looking at Robosats, also. That's a good way to buy some sats without KYC. If you can get cashapp, you can use it there.  
 🫡. Let me give it a good ol’ college try. And thank you. 
 There’s nothing online about it being restricted in my state. This is really maddening. 
 Try @Minibits wallet on android plus #Amethyst nostr client 

Add minibits address to your ln address in nostr profile
 
 Try primal.net or mutinywallet.com or speed.app 
 Wallet of Satoshi can be downloaded outside of app store also eg for Android here. 
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/wallet-of-satoshi/
Not sure about iOS - maybe search around. 
 Just download Primal. It has a wallet built into the app. Boom. 
 (Thank you). Me again. Downloaded primal. Looked good. Then tried to respond to your note (and others) and it won’t send messages. Freezes when I try to connect to wallet. What the heck am I doing wrong? I feel like a baby giraffe on ice skates 
 I honestly don't know 😕.  It may be a connectivity issue with relays, signal, or your operating system. I would restart your phone, close all the apps, clear cache and go from there. I hope you figure it out!🫂🤞 
 Also, welcome to Nostr 🫂 
 Grow Zone 9 🤙🏻 
 Zone 5-6 here. Snow on the ground right now. Followed and welcome 
 You’re just about a month behind me! 
 Citrus trees!!!! 
 Got a few in my backyard 😀 
 I envy you. I have a lemon tree inside that produces but the dream is olive groves and lemon trees and fig trees 
 I live in the desert of Arizona. 

Lemon tree and Grapefruit tree. 

It’s about the only thing I can grow year round without worrying. 
 I’d think fig trees might also work! They grow well in southern Italy which is quite an arid climate. Oh and these very sweet cucumbers called Caroselli Cucumbers (I think). AND creeping rosemary which is a great cover plant. 
 Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Peppers we do from spring to summer. 

Herbs we just replace here and there and they stay in a regulated shade area. 😀

I miss southern Florida where nature waters and the temperature swings were minimal. 
 Cows grow well here. Also hays to feed them. Goats as well. Sheep are much less common. Pigs do fine, and chicken, ducks, geese. Salmon, trout, steelhead, crab, clams, mussels. I literally live in a great place for having my food grow. 
 Love that. Throw some sunchokes and garlic in the ground and you have everything you need to thrive 
 Zones 3-5, 
#bitcoin miners + greenhouses = independence 
 Can we talk about #6 
 We absolutely can!!! 6 should be done with final frost so we’re just about on the timing for planting spring / summer vegetables, and definitely most flowers (most annuals are planted right after ‘last’ frost).
