Urban Homestead’s 2010 Year in Review
I know it’s a bit overdue (thanks to busy & rough start to the new year) and, honestly, I was putting it off because I am having a really BAD case of writer’s block…. but here it goes!
AROUND THE URBAN HOMESTEAD
Living in Southern California, there’s not really much down time for us homesteaders-farmers. Only one more month left in 2010 and already projects and plans are being hatched for 2011.
TAG-A-LONGS
Usually our backyard barnyard is relatively calm; yet, ever so often there is an occasional cackle of a laying hen. Back in the summer, the peaceful animal kingdom was broken by some unusual quacking.
GROWING COMMUNITY
I know it’s not really “homesteady” news but one of the most important aspects of urban homesteading is to share with our neighbors.
Requests are pouring in – folks want us here, there. Unfortunately we can’t be everywhere.
BARNYARD IN THE BACKYARD
There’s a new site on the block full of great article and information about raising rural and city stock. It’s a great new community and best of all there’s informative and helpful writings by Jordanne who’s the site’s head editor. You’ve asked for more tips and tricks on raising a barnyard in your backyard.
FUTURE FEAR SBS DATELINE
Others are approaching the future differently, believing the biggest threats we’re facing are problems that we’ve caused ourselves. Meet the Dervaes family of so-called ‘urban homesteaders’. They’ve already adapted and are living self-sufficiently and almost entirely off-grid.But are they all being over cautious, or will the rest of us be under prepared?
A WEEK IN REVIEW
Wow, it’s that time already for another Weekly Round Up? This week we are focusing on our growing outreach as we put out a call for a few know-how and passionate writers to become part of the our social network team. Would that be you?
THE FOUR PEEPERS AND HOW THEY GREW
The little peepers are sure growing fast! They graduated from the kiddie pool to the big one last week and are eating greens.
ROUND UP
With all that’s going on, figure it’s high time I sit and collect all the newbytes and articles that ya’ll may have missed this week. On Fridays I am going to try to make it a weekly habit to post some highlights. Git along little dawgies!
