And it was all a false alarm....We made the decision on Friday that we are going to stay in our current place. We are researching solid fencing to reduce road noise and we are saving our pennies for a new roof in the next few years. We will also rethink how we have both the goats and the chickens set up to maximize our current space a bit. It really is amazing what can be done with only an acre!
Ultimately, we decided to stay because we REALLY want to build our own place on the right piece of land. Being perfectly honest with ourselves, we can't really afford that right now without picking up much more debt than we'd like, so we are going to stay put for 5-10 years and continue to save (and research).
Sooo...what does this mean for vegetable gardening? Plenty! The beautiful front flower bed that we just finished? I was going to plant pansies for selling purposes but didn't get to it yet. Now it's going to be a healing and seasoning herb garden (perennials)!
And all the work we did to clean up the blackberries, raspberries, loganberries and marrionberries will now be for our own harvest instead of someone else's. Yay!
We spent the weekend destroying and rebuilding our kitchen (due to nothing but rain, rain, rain), so no progress was made on our garden boxes or row garden area yet. We are planning though - and sorting through our existing seeds! I can't wait to see things grow again!!
