Welcome to our urban homestead on the north coast of central Ohio. Join us as we set out on our journey towards becoming more self sufficient. I am sure we will make plenty of mistakes so please jump in and offer suggestions or constructive critisism. We do not pretend to be experts by any stretch of the imagination. Just a couple that is fast approaching retirement age and we are beginning to minimize our expenses now so retirement will not be such a jolt.
We will be exploring solar energy, gardening, canning, heating with wood and every day frugality. We have never blogged before so we will have plenty of learning to do in this arena as well. Tomorrow I will post pictures of our family and a short bio.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! I am a stay at home mother of four(three in diapers)in southwest ohio. We have been growing vegetables in our flower beds for a couple of years now to help with the food bill. We just added two raised beds this year.
ReplyDeleteWe have two old gnarly apple trees that I have just about given up on LOL We plan to add more as we can and have decided not to grow it unless we can eat it. Wishing we could have a couple of "pet" chickens but I don't think the neighbors would approve. :D
