Oooh, this is a great topic! Your sweet homestead looks so lovely from the few photos I’ve seen. It will be fun to watch it change through the seasons. 🙂
We should have named our homestead Nettle Haven instead of Cedar Haven – because nettles *love* to grow here and many are up with quite a few leaves already. Nettle salt is something the farm makes so much of, we have it all year long, plus much to share/sell.
With the mild winter, it seems we’ve been outside everyday. We are prepping first time beds, laying paths (with coffee burlap bags and woodchips), and letting the chickens scratch and peck to their heart’s contentment.
We also ordered more seed packets than one could use (but those seed catalogs make me swoon!) We are just going to get seedlings going.
Is there a way to share photos on the forum? It’d be fun and inspiring to see other’s gardens via photos. Joy!
