The Suburban Homesteader

The Halfway Homestead

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, since we were first married, Kathy and I have planned a future in which we would buy more land where we could have big gardens, livestock, pasture, barns, a workshop, and a bigger house. At one time, we thought we would be there by now, but we are still working on it. For the time being, we have a house that is small but nice enough and an acre and a half of land, most of which is wooded, in a suburban neighborhood.....

I guess the phrase Grow Where You're Planted applies to those who live in cities and suburbs-homesteading is a mindset instead of a location alone.

Oh, Kathy. Thank you for sharing with us. It reminds me of that old saying...Do the best with what you have, where you are. That's something I need to continually remind myself of. Deb
