Last year I had my very first successful Garden! For years i would start seeds indoors and make big plans for my future garden but I'd find myself stressed out or overwhelmed right when its time to plant. Last year was different, I focused on my goal and didn't allow myself to get to the point of being so stressed out that I would quit before I really truly started. It was small and and even smaller harvest but I was grateful for the experience and for the fresh produce, I mean who isn't after putting so much care and effort into something. Starting is the hardest part! So start somewhere, anywhere! You won't regret it.

Because of the current price of eggs in grocery stores many people have shared that they are interested in starting their own backyard flock, while I'm a chicken enthusiast (crazy chicken lady even?) I don't think raising chickens is for everyone. Here are some questions to ask yourself to see if it makes sense for you to start you own backyard flock or if sourcing local fresh eggs is a better option for you.
