Working on trying to never having to visit the grocery store again here.
Our garden is finally coming together and my current goal is to get an average of 2 fruit (or at least edible) trees and bushes planted each month... and surround them with herbs, more garden type foods, and supplementary items that are of actual use.
Right now we have more lettuces than we know what do do with, the kale and beets are coming in nicely, and the blackberries are going nuts.
While most of my trees are young (planted within the last few months) and not clones (they will take a few years to produce fruit) we are making progress.
Now all I need is to start doing some serious digging to get my earth built greenhouse going... starting with a 2x4 frame and then building earth walls under the roof.
Yes, my wife thinks I'm crazy... but if I can go from $1500 per month on food (we have lots of crazy nutters!) to closer to $200 (or nothing) then I'll be stoked.
I love seed catalogs and probably spend way too much on seeds... but within a year I want to have fresh organic food year round... and as soon as my little trees start producing fruit I'll be using the techniques I've learned from plant propagation to start hawking them to others in the area.
As always, thanks!
