I’m also a homesteader and have been getting back into may gardens this last week. My healing is happening much faster than anticipated and what I had planned, feeling very fortunate. I hauled 6+ cords of oak in April and chopped up 3 cords in preparation already, now curing in the sun. I didn’t know how long it’d be before I could chop again and wanted to make sure I have what I need for the coming winter.
