I think thats a great idea Quail.
In my original post, the thought of flowers and other non-edible plants was never intended. My intent was only those things directly related to self sufficiency.reinbeau said:If and when there were to be a gardening section here, I would hope it would be confined to vegetable gardening specific to homesteading and self-sufficiency. I can see the need and point, but don't want the redundancy of a full-blown 'garden forum' here on SS.
Quail, your suggestion of a "Growing your own food" would seem, at least to me, as a logical part of a forum such as this. Of course, I've learned that what may seem logical to me, is seldom the "norm".Quail_Antwerp said:How about a "Growing your own food" section instead of a garden section??? That would leave it open enough to discuss all aspects of growing our foods from meats to veggies to fruits...I think vegetable gardening/farming would fit well into there, as would raising rabbits, pigs, cows, etc for meat.
Yes, and how to make fertilizer, gardening with poultryWoodland Woman said:I agree. Self sufficiency in growing food is definitely a different angle that just gardening.
Ditto for me! That and just plain ol' common sense frugality and healthy livin'.That being said, growing food and raising animals are THE topic for me
