A big investment

Between the chicken coop, raised beds, rabbit pen, seeds, topsoil, and everything else we've purchased for our garden, we've probably used close to a thousand dollars worth of materials (not to discourage anyone that wants to try their hand at gardening or raising animals for food--- there are cheaper ways to do this! We've just decided to experiment with some different methods, like pulling in topsoil from other places, that added to the bill).

After all of this, we're eagerly awaiting something like the fresh salads we got from our last garden.


Things are getting close--- our radishes are nearing harvest time, and we're starting to see itty-bitty baby squash popping up in the beds. After all of this investment, these fresh vegetables are going to be the most appreciated foods we've ever eaten.
