Official BYC Poll - New Year New You...Resolution Time!

[hysop]

One I need to resolve to do that's not on the polls is "be more social!" Stop being so much of an introvert!

I dunno how social people can get these days at least the in-person social.

Another one for me is get in shape: I have asthma which is a great excuse for not exercising. I can lift weights fine but walking or running? I'm dead in a minute.

That was supposed to be a gif but it only put in an image...oh well.(not me btw)

You can get in shape by only lifting weights! Muscle burns more fat! Cardio would help, but do what you can!

But I’m no expert, I was always more into cardio than strength training when I was in shape years ago

now I’m interested in strength training and HIIT more than cardio. How things change!

I’ve got the usual get in shape/eat better ones. But my major one is to maintain a around 13,000 square foot garden. This will provide a us with more than a enough for us for a year and plenty to give away! We had a 10,000 square foot one in 2020 and managed to maintain most of it and only a few areas got really out of hand but we want to expand this year.

Got a few picture of this?
I can't imagine how big this is.

They say....choose achievable goals.....

For me that means getting things in the right order so I am starting with the easy things first.

Declutter. Yup getting all the unneeded "stuff" out of the way will make getting other things done easier.

Learn something new. That should ALWAYS be on the list. Knowledge is important in every aspect of life.

The next go hand in hand.
Quit smoking and spend less. Smoking is disgustingly expensive.

Then the BIG one. (Not on the list)
Finish any incomplete projects. I do nearly all the home maintenance here. There are several things on the "nearly done" list that eat at me.
Life is crazy. Time to do things is rare.
The plan is to make a list of 12 big things needing finished and get one done each month.

Henny...I'm here.
I'll help you fight the day you decide to quit.

Unfortunately I can’t find a pic of when it was planted but I do have a few of parts of it and one of the chickens foraging right after we mowed it down. I’ll try to take a better one in the morning

Barred Rock. He’s about 5 months in this photo.

13,000 square feet is not a garden. It is a field!

Just some quick math to help you draw a mental picture....

13,000 / 40ft(avg home width) = 325ft long

13K / 100ft wide (30ft on either side of said home) = 130ft long still

Very true lol! The area we planted was a field left from the farmer who owned it before us. We spent like a month trying to smooth out the ruts from the 20 year old watermelon rows that they left.

So what is your compact tractor and implements your currently making do with?
