So I Guess I'm Going Full Homestead...

 I guess I'm going "full homestead" this year. Besides giving a try at raising quail, I'm going to up my gardening game too. Personally I don't think I qualify has a modern homesteader just yet, but who knows where that line is drawn. 

I was planning on planting a couple of containers of beans and maybe a pepper plant or two. Keep it simple. Well that didn't last long.

At work some new equipment arrived in some very nice crates. Crates that I thought would make some excellent planter boxes, plus nice leftover lumber from the lids and bottoms. 

So instead of them being broken up to send to the recycler. I get to take them home. 

Now with three large planter boxes, I decided to expand my plans for a modest little garden a bit. Then I started looking around the property and looking over a heirloom seed website, and you guessed it. Now I got a bunch more seeds to plant than I was originally going to go with this year.

In fact, I made two orders for seeds. I made a second order for what will become an indoor herb garden. When asking a coworker when I should start my peppers, the conversation then covered a bunch of gardening topics. More topics than I planned... But it was at the end of the day Friday and she loves gardening. No one else in the office apparently is into gardening, so she basically went off with excitement to talk to someone about her favorite hobby.

All that to say if I don't screw it up, I'll have fresh basil and oregano for my quail eggs.
