I’m sort of flailing about and sometimes thing will grow. I’m not tidy. Each year things seem to do better. It’s slow.
I’ve read a lot about permaculture, so those things inform my thinking. We’ve built a new chicken coop. It’s named “The Chicken Fortress of Chicken Solitude”. Our two chickens, lovely black australorps, don’t have names because they all look alike. They’re timid little souls.
I don’t seem to use this to its fullest potential, because i don’t remember to take the time to record things. Must try harder.
