Subject: RE: BS: Homesteading Mudcatters
Ok..that makes more sense to me. We aren't home all the time as my husband works a great deal and I am in school. Our goal is to be able to be here for the majority of the time....eventually. So for now, we do what we can to make the most of our little homestead (as can be read about up above)....but even when we are home, we aren't necessarily together. That's the part I wasn't understanding...not sure I understand entirely now either, but it's close enough! :)

So do you live in a small community now or a city and do you still garden or do anything like that?

I know several folks who live in the cities and still try to garden or maintain some roots connected to country living.

I started when I lived in Providence, Rhode Island. I had a third floor apartment in the slums...I planted lots of veggies (especially tomatoes) in containers and placed them on the floor wherever the sun shined in. You had to do an elaborate dance to get through the kitchen...but hey...I was happy! :)
