That's how permaculture works. I wish I had the space to make permaculture work well but we make do with what we have.

I’m thinking of starting so super small and like adding a plant or two a year so you’re only adding something once you get a handle on everything else.

My plans for next year are:
Tomatoes - 2 types, Roma and a cherry, never grew Roma before
Peppers - 2 types, Hot and Bell.
Leaf Lettuce - grown indoor before, first time outdoor
Beets - never grown, looking for leaves more than actual beets
Carrots - grew a few this year, only had a few come up, learned from mistake and going to try to do better next year
Popcorn - Grew this year with mixed results, think they may have been too close for the ones in the middle to get pollinated
Beans - Rattlesnake green beans, never tried before
Sunflowers - Never tried before
Summer Squash and Zucchini - never tried either before.

But, this will be in an 8x4 SFG bed, a 16 foot cattle panel, and 2 modified 3 sisters gardens that are about 3 foot across. So, not too much work once it's prepped and planted.

I had no luck with beets until I started them indoors and used row covers, using Charles Dowding's advice:

I didn't realize the birds were eating the beet starts until his video alerted me and I saw it for myself.

I am starting peas, beets, turnips and spinach for fall. I also have started some Queen Anne lace from (weed) seed, since my bunnies like it so much when it's young.

Celadon quail...can be any feather color.
The blue eggs are not as blue as a lot of people pretend they are.

You can tag me anytime...sometime my tag alerts get buried. Sorry.

I really really like my rabbit cages for my quail. I pretty much cover my floor with dirt boxes. Every where but where the waterer sits.

Nabiki hatches my eggs and has great hatch rates. I only buy from Myshire.

I took a video of my garden!

I saw that on FB the other day. Technically... there is a gender reveal... Ganders are male, so if you release a ton of them, well.... I know there are some species that can be transsexual (clownfish for one), but most are simply gay so they would still be the gender that they are born as.

 

[ChocolateMouse]

Well, yes. Ganders are generally boys. But it's still amusing none the less.

It is. I laughed when I saw it, but then my "but technically" side came out. Reminds me of the (I believe) Family Guy skit where a girl asks if the guy wants to "take a gander under my frock" and gets a goose crammed under her skirt.

Hey all. I haven't posted in a while. I had a quick question. I am up to 4 eggs right now out of 8 birds who should be laying as they are all older than 24 weeks. Does anyone know why my other 4 are not laying? None of them appear to be egg bound so I am just wondering if there is anything else that could cause it. Thanks!
