Big PLANS!!! A farm is born.

Can you hear that? That is the sound of my *SQUEEEEEEE* of excitement!
For the last 8 years I have dabbled in gardening, sustainable living, off the grid homesteads, and other assorted Hippie-esque activities. I know, too many hobbies, blah blah blah.

Yesterday, immediately following AnachroCon 2012, I had the brilliant idea of stopping to see my nearest and dearest, Ben and Sunshine.

Hungover, sleep deprived, still a bit giddy from the Con, I found the radiant ball of energy known as Sunshine huffing and puffing away at this:




And since I'm a girl that can't resist a shovel (reason # 45,602 why I might have been dropped on my head at birth), We started doing this:



So low and behold, I find myself stumbled into a new PLAN! I can't live without a Plan. or Something To Do.



Step 1: Break back trying to dislodge the horror known as Red Georgia Clay.

Step 2: Add 2 truck loads of horse shit, 2 truck loads of compost

Step 3: Buy a tractor


Step 4: Make tractor work

Step 5: Haul ass around the property in working tractor.

Step 6: Catch air while flying down a hill.

Step 7: Realize that wasn't very smart. Do not repeat.

Step 8: Till til ya drop

Step 9: Build a cool trellis out of bamboo. Get really nerdy designing the irrigation system.


Step 10: Get drunk and shop online for seeds.

Step 11: Receive seeds in the mail. Curse self for drunk shopping AGAIN.

Step 12: Add chicks



To Be Continuuuuuuuuuuuuuued.
