A Story to Inspire You š±š¾
Let me tell you about my first survival garden. I planted everythingātomatoes, cucumbers, squashāyou name it. š What I didnāt do? Learn how to properly water, fertilize, or protect them.
Long story short? The deer ate better than I did that year. š¦
But I didnāt quit. I got smarter. Learned from the pros. Fast forward a few seasons, and Iāve got enough fresh veggies to share with the neighbors (and keep the deer out). š„
Mistakes like mine are what Homesteading Secrets is all about: lessons from folks whoāve been there, done that, and figured out how to make it work. š”
