This morning while having my #coffee I'm planning out my #garden ideas. I'm working on getting more into #homesteading to become #selfreliant.
I rent out in the country (near Cincinnati, OH), so I have to be a tad creative. Plus my family members only eat a handful of vegetables. I didnt plant much last year, so I want to do more this time around.
What do you folks recommend ?

Start out small, because often people will get overwhelmed and frustrated when they make huge beds and plant too many things at once. You could start improving the soil in your chosen spot now, just by adding organic matter, like leaves, mulch, compost.
1. Grow only what you know you & your family will eat.
2. Focus your space on 75% on what is preservable, 25% on what needs to be used fresh.
I second and third the two previous responses. Grow what you love to eat. I like to focus on staples. Nothing brings me more joy in the winter than having garlic, potatoes and onions at the ready. If you like them they are pretty easy to grow. Potatoes always are a great choice for the first bed in a new garden space.
