Hey Guys,

It’s been over a month since my last update and a lottt has changed.

We decided to order a relatively cheap greenhouse to keep the majority of my plants in over this year’s gardening season. It’s more spacious than anticipated. I got it on Amazon for less than $150CAD.

I’m starting this blog to track my progress with homesteading. I hope to complete tasks like growing fruits & vegetables, baking sourdough, brewing kombucha, cooking from scratch, and canning & preserving food. I’m homesteading in the suburbs so I’m a bit limited in what I can do. Someday, I hope to have chickens/ducks, cows and honey bees.
