Do you enjoy stimulating one of your senses more than other ones?. Which one and how do you do that?
I enjoy tasting things. As a child I remember tasting soil and mixing it with chocolate and biscuits ext. As an adult I'd taste almost anything, it could be leaves or round colourful things from the trees, flowers, wood or chemicals. If it's possibly dangerous or not chewable, then I'd give it at least a lick. Tasting is such an adventure for me that I really enjoy. I remember it was one of the best parts of visiting the botanical garden.
Please share with me your sensory adventures
A lot of botanists, mycologists and permaculture specialists report tasting soil and learning to identify properties in it.
It seems a good skill to have, especially if looking where to plant something which needs a particular type of soil.
Seems like my child-self knew the value of that skill
