Yes i am worried about the seasons going haywire here too.. so changeable. especially when you trying to keep the critters in balance
we are Brisbane Australia and well known for crazy weather. Fire or floods then drought.
i love my herbs and thyme is perhaps my ultimate fav... if i had to pick based on taste.
we are starting out homesteading journey with chickens, worms, mealworms, a large vege garden and lots of big pots... see how we go :-)
happy gardening

Hi Sarah! So nice to "meet" you. I'm excited for your new adventures. Chickens are fun - but naughty. But then I have goats as well as naughty doesn't even begin to describe them! As much as I adore my goats. We tried mealworms and after 18 months of them eating us out of house and home and then beginning to eat one another - shock and horror - we discovered that we had been sold the giant mealworm which is sterile. But I guess, like most homesteading projects and responsibilities, all part of the process. I hope yours are a roaring success!
Yes i hear all about being sold mealworms that are sterile. The lady assured us they were not... but we will see.. Yes i don't want toooooo many mealworms, just enough to feed the chickens although my husband is catching grasshoppers like no tomrrow so hopefully they can have them too. No doubt the chickens will LOVE grasshoppers lol.
My nana had a goat. She used to blame it for having messy clothes as it "ate" them lol
Happy gardening!
