The seed catalogs are here. I need to see what seed I have, and what I'd like. And where I'm going to plant it!
Waste not: making an effort to use leftovers. Learning to better use our open-face fireplace (ya know, the kind they say not to use because it's so inefficient? that kind.)
Want not: Sorting through stored items, and doing the mental planning to re-arrange the way items are stored around the house.
Build community: I've been hibernating. Which, granted, isn't that far from usual. I like my cave.
Eat the food: Chicken pot pie. Using a planned menu to select dinner from. Trying new recipes.
Crafting: I'm working on a blanket on commission. Not something I'll do much of but the money will be nice.

Hi, I am from Ravelry. I did not realize that you homesteaded in an apartment. When I first started on my road to homesteading I started in a small apartment in Portland Maine. There is so much you can do in the city. I had a community garden plot, and a small deck for containers, I knit, joined a csa at the farmer's market, learned to can,joined a barter network. I look forward to reading more about what you are doing.

Hi Karin! Nice to have you visit =) I didn't realize you started in an apartment, too.
ReplyDeleteThe short version of what we've learned is on the About page. I enjoy canning; making my own "instafood" is nice, and I like having a full pantry. It's soothing, somehow.
