I allways have five different projects going on but my main goals for SS are:

1 My fence... Will enable me to get goats and free range my chickens.

2 Food storage, need more bucket and gamma lids. Buying one item in bulk every few weeks is working out great.

3 More fruit trees. Tis the season. I think I am going to plant 3 citrus and another avocado.

1. Research beekeeping.
2. Find a better way to store root vegetables. I have tons of potatoes, beets and carrots, but they're just lying in bins in the garage, dehydrating.
3. Get more blueberries started again next spring.
