Taking a break and giving the land some rest can be a great way to rejuvenate your garden. As a Young Living Brand Partner, I believe in being mindful of the environment and taking care of the earth. One way to do this is to follow the concept of Shmita, the Sabbath of The Land, as mentioned in the old testament. This allows the land to rest, replenish, and regain its nutrients naturally, making it more fertile and stronger. I encourage you to give your garden a rest, show gratitude for your land, and help care for it in a way that aligns with your values.

So many people who homestead or have small hobby farms love springtime. NOT ME!!! It’s muddy and poopy and....more mud and poop!
.
And it’s busy as heck!!!
.
We need to rework the pigs into a different paddock a theirs needs to have some work done. New shelters need to be built as they collapsed theirs this winter while apparently fighting for the prime position inside. We also have too many now in the one spot so need to work on separating them out some into different breeding and lineage groups.
.
.
Dirt, compost and wood chips need spread to expand the garden, but the piles are still pretty frozen.
.
More veggies need started inside STAT!
.
Sheep shelter needs cleaned out. We are done with lambing season early this year so we don't have to worry about birthing pens.
.
Did I mention mud and poop????
.
SO MUCH TO DO!!! And this doesn’t include sheering and processing and meat chickens and more pigs and......ahhhhhhhh 
What does your spring look like?
