This is going to be a lot of work.
Food is a necessity, so I totally love gardening. I think that each dollar worth of food that we can grow is actually about two dollars less that I need to earn, because you don't need to pay taxes on what you don't earn. (Thanks @me-tarzan for refining my understanding on that.) Since our land was covered in a lot of green brier, poison ivy, and other less desirable plants, we began to use some pigs and goats in a concentrated feeding effort to remove them.
That is a photo of our garden area from about a year ago when the animals were working it. These days it is still a work in progress, but we are progressing.
In this video below I take you on a brief tour of the garden site, share about the plants that we already have in, explain more about the whole concept, and show what work has already been done. It'll take a lot of effort, but I'm trying to get in a lot of the perennials this year because they will be back for years to come. We will see what eventually happens, but i like the progress so far. Enjoy the video!

You never cease to amaze me! You must be so organized to manage all your homesteading work and Steemit too. I used to have a maget on my fridge that said I’m going to get organized - tomorrow. Lol!

Actually, I am the furthest from organized that you may ever meet. LOL - Does this look like organized?
LOL - Thanks @dmcamera! I think mostly I just work my butt off all day, every day, six days a week.

The setup and tear down of the garden each year is probably my favorite time. The produce is wonderful but I get so much out of the logistics process, for my head. I don't know many gardens that are ever "complete of finished" as they are always a work in progress. I used goats and now sheep to keep my land at bay and not overgrowing us.

you always make me proud, you always make a useful post for all of us, gardening is a very great job and very useful in everyday life, maybe if no one is gardening like you, there will be no vegetables in the market.
but very rarely do people do your job like this.
I am very proud of you @papa-pepper.
I will always be as excited as you are.

Wow, @ papa-pepper! I can see the vision you have your property and all I can say is man, have you put in a lot of work for a fantastic garden! I loved the tour. I hope you don't mind, I would love to ask your permission to copy some of your ideas for my gardens. I absolutely love the idea of plants that reproduce year after, after year. Less work for more returns. Less work for me. I don't have as many helpers as you do and sometimes that is a hindrance for me. Although some of the family is considering moving to the homestead for a better life than what they can have in the city.

Nice layout. It is a great planting time of the year.
I just finished ripping out my overgrown garden beds and am ready to make selections again.

That looks like a metric shit-ton of weeding. On the other hand, all the work will yield great stuff. It looks amazing. compared to ours...it looks like a farm not a garden. :)

Actually, I'm hoping not to have to weed at all! We will see.

That'd be a dream. We seem to get a lot of weeds...they seed and blow over from the school yard we live near.

You are an inspiration! The wife, 2 kids and I are working out the logistics of building a homestead on my family's 200 acre farm where my parents and grandmother already live. We are in the very early stages of the planning, but with every post of yours it seems you give me more ideas for how I want our corner of the property to be used! It always makes me smile to see another post from you and this one may be my favorite so far! Many blessings @papa-pepper! Keep up the fine work!

Looking at this, i just realized that farming means a lot....... I've never joined my family on the farm even when I'm asked to; yet i consume the most food.
Now I'm feeling like a sinner seeing you farm with so much joy that you even take shots of them.

Good morning papa peppers that beautiful garden that you have and well distributed and that is how you say you have to take advantage of the gifts that nature gives us and take advantage of food here in my country venezuela many do that in my case for example we have a garden but it is made of fruits such as mango, avocado, tangerine, lemon and banana

Hi Sir @papa-pepper i'd like to propose an idea and i hope you take it into consideration. I have noticed the steemit platform has a whole lot of writing talents who constantly post their works but arent getting the expected appreciation they deserve. I would be starting a poetry contest where users will be given topics relating from cryptocurrency, fashion, lifestyle, tech and so on. They would be judged by their ability to convey a visual expression with artworks and poetry. As always i will be approaching whales like you who can invest some funds into this idea and in return the proceeds in terms of SBD will be shared between host and investors. Please id appreciate a reply from you Sir. Thanks

wow! this s really progressing huh?
I remember you putting the hogs is an hoping this would work, and now you're starting to build actual gardens.
In two year's time you'll be looking at starting to harvest from here.
Putting in the work up front almost always pays off, in pretty much everything you do. And you are giving all this knowledge to the @little-peppers also.
Jut imaging - what an awesome life they are leading now and how it will be for them when they grow up...
Super excited to watch all the developments as they happen ;-)
