Hello There!

[LoveMyPeepers]

Hey everybody! I just joined The Sufficient Self and am looking forward to learning more about homesteading. I have been a part of backyard chickens for a while and thought I'd check this out! Currently our only pets are 14 wonderful hens and one beta fish. I love preserving foods and homemaking different products, gardening, caring for my chickens, and riding and caring for horses and other livestock.

Hi, and welcome from Texas! Glad you joined us.

I have goats, chickens, quail and pigs. I've been trying to get my garden planted and am making slow but steady progress. I enjoy preserving food also. I recently got pineapples on sale and used them in various ways. I dehydrated some, made jam/preserves out of some and canned a couple.

Hope to hear more from you!

Cool! I live in San Deigo, California. We just got a dehydrator after not having one for a couple years. We like to use the leftover un-carved pumpkins from halloween to make pumpkin leathers with it. We just got a persimmon tree to replace the pear that we have had for a couple years and has always flowered but never produced. We also have a olive, purple fig, lemon, lime, apple, avocado, three pecans, and now that persimmon tree as well as a bunch of raised garden beds that mostly grow various produce.
