I’ve been prepping since they called survivalists, pre-y2k. I’ve had gardens (sometimes hens) at most of the homes I rented until I bought my own in 2021. I’m an experiential learner and have dialed in my gardens better every year. I’m running solo (until I find my life partner to join me) so sorting out how to not overdo while growing enough of what I prefer to be eating has been my greatest challenge. With hens it’s easy to know what to do with the excess from the gardens.
