It is cold outside. Pumpkin couldn't handle more than a few minutes at a time, Carita never asked to be let out. Somehow she knew she should stay inside. I plan to stay indoor for the rest of the year (mostly) and plan my gardening year. I see myself as a micro-farmer and next year I will prove it. It has been so dry this year that I am crossing my fingers hoping that my fruit trees and bushes make it through the winter. It's their first year. I moved her from Minneapolis, leaving behind my fruit trees, bushes and flower. I've been her for 11 months now and I like it. The people are friendlier and the crime rate is nothing compared to that of Minneapolis. Anyway, I have to also plan how to generate income until I can live of my micro farm (1/6 of an acre). Yep, it is really tiny but there is more than enough space to grow a lot for myself and to sell at the Farmer's Market. I will probably not make enough to cover all my expenses this next year. Hopefully in a few years it will cover them all. I don't want to work for anyone anymore. Will I make it?
