10 months on the new homestead and we have been recording what time of the year we have certain bugs (horse-flies, lady bugs, fire ants, flies etc.), weather, accomplishments, and of course dreams and plans for the future.
2018 will be a much better year, like @torquewrench1969 stated, for our "Standard Operation Manual" for the homestead.
Knowing when the insect army is coming is CRUCIAL to success! So glad you've got your journal going..much success in 2018!
