  • Come and see our mini urban homestead in the city during early spring including our vegetable and flower garden, citrus orchard, and backyard chicken flock. We live in an urban area in Florida and although we are limited in space, we have turned our backyard into a productive homestead for our family. Subscribe to see the updated video we will do in June when everything is producing well! My hardworking husband Andy decided to put up the trellis (cattle panel) tonight, so I'm taking you along for that also.

    True story: I was first to watch this morning, first to like. Was sitting in my truck at work watching, went into work, and realized I locked my keys in my truck. I was distracted by your beauty and the labor of your hands, again.

    Makes me want to go out and buy stuff to start gardening again. I have a few things but I would love an area with a trellis. So cute!

    Thanks for sharing your small garden and mini homestead. For a beginner who wants to get started in gardening what advice would you give.

      My best advice is to just start and get something in the ground! It’s easy to get into analysis paralysis with researching varieties and finding the right spot etc. Learn as you go. Pick a sunny spot in your yard and plant something. I’ve had the most success with potatoes, green beans, herbs, and flowers- zinnias, sunflowers, cosmos. Bigger raised beds are an investment, so it’s more cost effective to start with containers, plant directly into the ground, or a small (4x4) bed. Give it a try! Let me know how your season goes. Happy gardening! 🪴🌼

    How blessed u are to live in sunny FL!
    Last month my husband and I were declined to be licensed foster parents because we are over the limit for children under 21 under 1 roof (we have 7 but our oldest are 18, and 17 so really only 6, soon to be 5 minors) We had hoped theyd make an exception due to the serious need for licensed foster parents, but alas that door has closed for us. Are the rules the same in FL? In NH its no more than 6 under the age of 21. Also, our cost of living in NH is very high and our winters are quite long! We just got over 12 inches of snow yesterday! 🤪
    we've wanted to relocate to FL for 2 years and have done research on it for the past 18 months but we've been watching FL cost of homes sky rocket...it just wouldnt make sense to sell our home ( we have quite a bit of equity) and end up w a higher mortgage at a worse interest rate ( our current rate is 2%) so we've shelved that hope, sadly. Im glad to get to live vicariously through you, though! Thanks for sharing! ❤

      There are similar rules in Florida about the number of children. The first child we were fostering (our now adopted son) was related to us, so an exception was made. The baby we are fostering now is our adopted son’s half-sister, so they made an exception for us again. There still had to be approvals and hoops to jump through all the way up the hierarchy to allow us to have these children since we already had 5 of our own. I believe the limit is 6 but we have several 5 and under so that required more approvals. All that to say we had a special situation!
      Florida is a great state to live in! My husband and I are both from Florida so we’re very biased. 😉 We learned with COVID that it’s important to want to be a citizen of your particular state. I bet NH is beautiful! We haven’t been that far north. 😂 Blessings to you and your family! ❤️

      @@peggystarling that's just amazing how the Lord opened those doors and busted down obstacles for you guys to be able to foster like that! Praise God! Thanks for sharing ♥
