We still need to work daily, such as making sure the bird droppings haven't added something new, making sure things are watered well, continue to start new seeds with the goal to always have ongoing salad and herbs on hand.

Designed to be movable (looking for a homestead at a reasonable price, where we can expand in NH and/or ME).

We have been quite busy doing what needs to be done, finally emptied the storage unit we rented after my FIL passed away. With that, we still have things to sell, yet also utilize in our quest for independence with less stress.

Yes, we will still have taxes (so we are seeking a low tax rate property, we will do what we can off grid, yet realize there will be a few items that we still need to use from available sources. Yet, the optimism is that we have made strides, and looking forward to where we are meant to be

The following video is a tour of my garden. It is definitely not the size I would enjoy, but the reality is, that I used the space we had, and we hope to have enough food for us to preserve. If we are able, we will pack up all that is portable/moveable, and be on our way to our next venture.

Thanks for sharing your garden video with us.  Are you able to convince any of your tropical plants to produce?

The lemons over wintered, the one on the left I think will actually produce. The Mandarin Orange tree might need to overwinter to produce for next year. We plan on making sure the greenhouse is well insulated to help it survive the winter. So, I will patiently wait on how the actually do next year.
