Tuesday’s Tip to Homesteading: Herb Wheels

A Basic Herb Wheel
A Basic Herb Wheel

With warmer weather it’s time to get those herbs that have been basket-bound all winter out into the fresh air!

This year, why not make an Herb Wheel!  You can place it under a fledgling tree (so they get enough sun) and help to feed the soil around the tree as well!
.
An Herb Wheel doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just an easily distinguishable sectioned planting spot. You can arrange them in categories such as a section for culinary, a section for medicinal and a section for aromatherapy.
.
Herb Wheels add wonderful sights, sents and accent to your homestead.
.
Hope you’ll let your Herbs go FREE soon!
I’d hate to be bound up in a basket in the spring, wouldn’t you?

Tuesday’s Tip to Homesteading: Baby Steps are still Steps

Steps

So how long before a child starts taking his/her first steps (at about 10 months to a year old) before you expect them to be in the Boston Marathon? Tomorrow?

If you think about it, that’s what we do to ourselves. We take huge leaps past some vital steps that are needed in homesteading. We think we need all the equipment, land, livestock and THEN we’re homesteading.

This is not the case. If we are taking ‘baby steps’ we’re still walking.  If we are doing a little of ‘this and that’ we are still homsteadING. Notice the ‘ing’ – it is a process.

Only if we give up on the process do we cease stepping in the homesteading direction.

Keep walking, taking baby steps and keep working out that dream of homesteading. Don’t be so hard on your self if you’re at least taking steps.

EnJOY the journey!

Best Blessings!
