Homestead Blog Hop #482 – Jan 31

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

I feel like I am a little behind this year, I have no idea where January went! I finally got around to planning my garden this week and ordered some seeds. Planning my garden has always been one of my favorite winter activities. Thinking about summer while it’s snowing is always nice. The biggest problem with finishing my garden plan is now I can’t wait to get planting! With my soap-making business, most of my soap oils come in large food-grade 5 gallon buckets. So I have a pretty large bucket collection growing in my barn. I am going to clear out those buckets and put them to work in the garden this year as extra planting space. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up!

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
