Hi dear steemiens, my name is Gheambyt George I’m 29 years old and I ‘m from Romania (Eastern Europe). I’m a Psychologist working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, and everyday I work with kids that are Autistic.
@lishu introduced me to steemit in January and ... it took me awhile to decide what to post on this platform. I've decided to post my adventures in the world of permaculture and sustainable living.
I live in Bucharest, in my small yard I experiment and grow different edible plants, for example last year I grew 200 hazelnuts, some edible chestnuts, almonds, climbing roses and thousands of locust trees in pots, in an urban environment, with limited sunlight and surrounded by 11 story buildings, on only 62.5 square meters (672.7444ft²), aha it's a tite fit.
I have a permaculture orchard that i'm building 300 kilometers from the city, in the mountains. The purpose of the orchard is eventually to be my primary activity, from which i will suport me and my family.
I've been fascinated by plants, and growing them, since my childhood when I did it on my parents balcony. Back then I would bring home wild animals that I found in the park (sparrows, pigeons, lizards, a owl...) and kept them as pets for a while. Nothing compares to the emptiness you feel inside when a baby owl stares directly into your eyes.
In the last 5 years I've had some interesting projects like:
Propagating 400 tobacco plants in my rented apartment.
Growing 250 goji plants in another rented apartment in the Old Town, the party zone of Bucharest. Those goji plants listened to music 20 hours a day (party plants).

And some delicious veggies

If you are interested in joining me in my adventures follow my blog, were we are going to experiment with different styles of urban agriculture, propagate different plants from the wilderness , build orchards, create tools, understand ecosystems and create communities.
