I grew a container garden this year and the results were about 6/10
Got started a little late in 8b and its been 90-100° since june
Will take what I learned and go bigger in irrigated raised beds next year
What is your zone and what do you grow OP?
>What is your zone and what do you grow OP?
Gallicia, nothern Spain. I grow some fruits, including native trees which give us chestnuts (like, more than 5 tons/year), I've got animals like goats, chickens and ducks and I'm going to plant more vegetables since my goats ate them all.
Damn that farm looks comfy as fuck. I bet it has a variety of veggies.
my father distills and filters his own rainwater but I buy all my food at the shope
What I never got about these microfarms is whether they're supposed to be your full time job or not. Do you still go to the office and fill out excel sheets, or are these just for people who want to be left alone and never interact outside the farmers' market? How do they make enough money to fix the foundation work every 20 years?
Sounds comfy, got any pics?
Other than planting/harvesting season, an hour in the evening or morning and 2 hours on the weekends is enough to manage whats shown.
For planting/harvesting/calving season you'd need to take days off work but that type of work is genuinely enjoyable and rewarding, so is worth it.

t. your iberian brother
I'm an apartmentcuck but I fucking dream about doing that.
Pls pics senor. Protip: JPG doesn't have any hidden exif data (aka no enterprising user can find your GPS co-ordinates)
Om trying to grow everything I eat, going to plant some fruit trees this year for the future as well, (around 20 of them). My vegetable garden is about 500m^2, and I plant broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, potatoes, chillies, cape gooseberries, spinach tomatoes, cabbage, and herbs, I want to expand but I want to find things that are easier to grow. Spinach and gooseberries basically grow themselves, but the other are too much effort.
Also have chickens, eggs and sheep. Don't know how I'm going to get beans, grains, and oils. Beans I buy in 80kg bags which lasts a while, but grains are a problem, can't find them wholesale here, and a lot of them I need proccesed in some way, I also need to find a place I can buy a 20 gallon drum of olive oil or something.
Mint is a fucking weed my dude, strongly recommend planting it in a corner somewhere. It'll spread on it's own.
Garlic and onions are also almost unkillable, and I've had potatoes grow in from scraps I threw out in the compost.
I have some mint, counted it as a herb, I forgot about it and it died and came back by itself multiple times. I tried garlic and onions, don't know if the climate is right for it here because it took 18 months before I could harvest it. Potatoes seem toe die from nothing for me. It will be fine then suddenly gets rust (translating directly, might have another name in english) and it all dies if I don't spray pesticides every week on it.
EAT THE BIG MAC
It is not much
it is not sorted
It is not the best advice sometime
but maybe someone can find something useful in it

Look up the Ruth Stout method
I grow SOME veggies annually, usually carrots and other stuff like spinach or peas. It's comfy.
Who here /blight/?
A little. There's no fertile soil where I live and the growing season is short so I make due with root vegetables for the most part. I do pick berries every year, cloudberries, blueberries, Partridgeberries. I also hunt moose and fish cod.
Taking care of the fields that were passed down to me by my father, who got it from his father, who got it from his father etc etc. Bunch of orange, lemon and clementine trees, apples, pears, chestnuts. I got some tomatos planted and i finished picking them all up last week. 2 years ago i planted potatoes but rats ate them all but still pretty comfy
Definitely trying - my parents have 10 acres and used to do a little gardening as well as raise rabbits and chickens when I was growing up (and still do a little) but I’m trying to help them more now and would love to expand as the land could be utilized better I think, there is a lot of unused space
I will be when I get my own house in the coming weeks/months.
However, I live in the UK, and am not a rich fuck, so I got a pithy little garden, but we're gonna be growing veg, and raising egg laying chickens too.
>How do they make enough money
you can make a pretty decent living selling greens and tomatoes to grocery stores
>How do they make enough money to fix the foundation work every 20 years?
By fixing it yourself and not being a pleb
i wish, when i'll have money i'll buy a farm in fucking nowhere and do just that
Only fruits, staple crops are just whatever because they're cheap and I don't plan on replacing everything with a farm
Let's just move to Greenland
It's my dream, working towards it. I wish someday I can produce my own food and don't have to the on what (((they))) want me to eat. Unfortunately right now the only thing we produce at home are eggs (we have 4 hens).
Does kefir count?
based, dont forget the sips
I do homie. My entire backyard is full with fruit trees, and strawberry plants
Want to have my own little homestead. Saving money for a nice n comfy 4 acre plot, turn that into a high density homestead. /permaculture/ here. Gardening and homesteading is like Earth's gym thats why our grandparents are old and Jow Forums
