Tips to Homesteading

I am hoping to add a new Tip each Tuesday to the “Tips to Homesteading” site here. Help keep me accountable will you please?

This Tuesday’s Tip to Homesteading is: Be patient in your diligence!

Now, maybe to you it sounds like two tips. Be patient and be diligent. No, these are tied so closely together in homesteading that they just ‘have to’ be paired up into one tip.

To be patient is one thing. Waiting for the rain to stop so we can work in the garden takes patience. We can do nothing about that rain but be glad we have some.

To be diligent is another thing. While it’s raining, don’t just sit and wait, sort the seeds, draw the plans, move on to another project that rain doesn’t affect.

Being patient is necessary because often the hard work of diligence doesn’t show for a while on a homestead. Breeding, planting and harvesting all take work, but also time. Being diligent at all tasks on the homestead is vital. If we rest back for too long, playing ‘catch-up’ is far more overwhelming than staying on top of tasks.

So be you a new homesteader or a seasoned vet, be patient in your diligence. Don’t give up! The pay off comes with both time and hard work!

EnJOY the journey!

Best Blessings!
