This is the first post in a series that will deal with the possible plans for the year of 2017.
I always seem to fight a problem of being too ambitious with my plans. There is a saying the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the next best time is today. It turns out that the best time to plant an orchard, plant a garden, build a chicken coop, put up a fence, build a rabbit hutch and mow the lawn isn’t always today. There is always that pull to move things forward and start new things. Yet is needs to be balanced with giving the right amount of attention to existing things.
I am trying to keep that in mind as I make my plans 2017. I am going to write a series of post that will lay out a few options I have thought of for this year. I can then take those items and narrow them down to the few I will do. I am going to divide this items into a couple lists. The first will be a list of the things I all but have to do. The second list will be things that I would like to do.
Must Do:
- Plant and maintain the garden
- Manage the flocks
- Manage the existing trees
- Establish the Pasture
- Plant Propagation
Might Do:
- Plant more trees
- Add different livestock
- Add more rabbits
- Build bigger greenhouse
- Sell wood working projects
- Aquaponics
- Grey water system
- Meat Chickens
So off the next few weeks I hope to touch on most of the items in that list and come up with a solid plan what will be taking place on the farm for the next 12 months. I hope that if anyone has any feedback on the posts they will leave comments.
