Two acre garden in the wilderness? You’re living the dream!
I’ve a personal preference towards permaculture style gardens. My plants have to go in the ground, if I pot them I’m likely to also kill them... Our thumbs aren’t yet the greenest. But for us, priority #1 is always getting perennials established. Herb gardens and berry patches are such an easy and rewarding starting point for anyone looking to grow something edible.
As for skills, we divide and conquer for now. Husband handles the tool belt, and I handle things like canning and fiber crafts or textiles. That division of labor may not work for everyone, but it’s perfect for us.
Yes, fortunately we are. Only because we prepared for it. in 03 we sold our General Contracting firm in ATL. Sold our HOA home in Hall county. Scuttled other unnecessary debt items. Scaled back, minimalized.
Relocated to our present location. NO mortgage, NO auto loans, NO CC debt.
Bought dirt in a couple of locations, invested in nonperishable food stocks, bulk beans and other sources of protein.
This year is when we dig our hand well, as back up.
You and your husband keep doing what you are doing. On the right track.
