Soon to be square foot garden

This is my new square foot garden. It is April 10th and at about 1:30 pm the sun covers half of the bed. I will probably plants and greens maybe some broccoli I'll have to make sure i put them in side it gets the sun. It is still a couple of weeks away from time to plant other plants as tomatoes for peppers.

Homesteading "to-do" list

Here is just a quick list of homesteading things I would like to get started in the next year or two. This is pretty much a list for me personally but if you have an interest or would like to make suggestions please do so. (I've set this post to remain at the top of this blog.)

• Get debt free
• Save up cash to cover 3 to 6 months worth of expenses
  
• Increase my garden (and garden knowledge)
• Increase my cheese making knowledge
  
• Setup a place to keep chickens for eggs (and if I ever get that brave, for meat as well)
  
• Setup an apiary (bee hives) and learn about beekeeping
• Find a way to make some of my money off of the homestead
• Raise Goats for milk/cheese and manure
• Solar energy? or other "off grid" energy (Probably not in the next year.)
• Setup a rain barrel/rain collection system to water the garden with
• Plant an orchard
• Plant a vineyard
• Raise Guinea Fowl for insect control in the yard and garden
• Build a mud oven
• Build a block smokehouse (Like this)
• Build a cheese "cave" (Like this)
  
• ...I'm sure there's more.
