RE: Keeping Organized: The Homesteading Monthly Schedule
This is a great post! Unlike a day job which you plan for a day or coming vacation. Farming is so different, and so much rewarding when you harvest. Thank you for sharing!
I have slowly transformed my garden to perennial or self-perpetuated plants so I don't need to think about when to plant nowadays. We live in Zone 10A. It's warm enough that plants can grow and be harvested year-round so storage of food is not necessary. We do freeze mangos and bananas when they are so abundant that we can't possibly eat them all at once. :-)
ooohhh, zone 10a! I am envious!
I can only imagine the vegetables, fruit trees and perennials I could have!
have you ever tried to dehydrate mangoes? They are SUPER delicious!
I bought a bunch earlier this year and we couldn't eat them all so I dehydrated them. So sweet!
Yes that is so true. No vacation time. No days off sick.
When my son was younger and still living at home; he was raising chickens. We had at any given time about 150-200. He would go away for the night to stay at a friends' house and I was responsible for taking care of them while he was gone... it was a LOT of work. But rewarding just the same.
I hear you. We had chickens, ducks, and quails for a few years. Someone always has to be home to care for them in the morning and in the evening. However, it was very rewarding that we get to eat the freshest eggs!
Nothing better than some scrambled eggs fresh from the coop- lol
