What did you do to be/become more self-reliant today?

[Mini Horses]

Well, "a little something" MORE, of course.

Probably more potatoes...

We bought more trees last week, 2 almond, 3 apple, 3 cherry and 1 fig. Now I just gotta get them planted.....

Woo hoo! (why did I not know you could grow almonds in texas?) What about pecans???? It's almost a Texas tradition!

 

[Denim Deb]

Pecans can be grown in zones 5-9, so you should be good.

Sumi. What area are you in? The couple that owned this place before me had a huge area for compost and I have more than I can possibly use right now. He converted a leanto into a compost bin. Its probably 200 sq.ft.

@CJ1 I'd take you up on that in a heartbeat if I lived closer! Unfortunately I'm very far away from you all… I live in Ireland.

 

[CJ1]

Yeah. I suppose that is a lol far away.

 

[sumi]

A wee bit? I would love to get hold of some homemade compost though… But for now I need to head down the hardware and go get some more compost there today. Some of my tubs need topping up. The potatoes are looking amazing I'm definitely going to plant a couple more.

@sumi as you know we moved a year ago and suddenly I was in the land of NO COMPOST! I felt like running behind my horses with a bucket.
