With so many of us having higher bills than ever before, with prices of food continuing to rise, there is a need to change our spending habits and embrace making more. Today Robyn and I chat through what's been happening this last month while we have been gone and also share some of the ways we reduce our own cost of living and the choices in our lives that help us be frugal.

Imposter syndrome in the garden and on the homestead is not a fun thing to experience. With social media often glamourising every aspect of day to day life, it can feel disheartening and like you're not doing enough. We've been feeling a little like this lately, particularly with sharing our gardens on Youtube and not feeling like we have much to share, that we should be sharing more, when in reality the garden goes through ebs and flows and slow periods where not a lot happens. In these times, it's fine to not feel the pressure to post on social media or meet 'expectations' that you've created in your mind, but take it slow, surround yourself with good people and set manageable tasks.

Autumn gardening does not need to be unproductive, in fact this is a wonderful time to grow cool weather crops like brassicas, onions, garlic, greens, peas, the list is endless. So don't look at your garden and despair that it will not produce, instead listen up to just how much can be grown over Autumn and Winter.

To end of the year we decided to film a few solo episodes sharing more of our journey to homesteading and where we are in life right now! In today's episode, I share some of my journey and  some simple ways to connect to nature and our surroundings in trying times. Connecting to nature has really helped me know who I want to be in life and it's grounded me when I've had bad days. There are so many emotional and physical benefits to connecting to nature and understanding the plants and animals around us.

We love chickens, we love them so much we talked for an hour about them. In today's podcast we discuss all things backyard chickens. What to feed them, where to house them and all their contributions in the  garden. They say chickens are the gateway drug to homesteading and we think this is true, one you have a few it's hard not to get a few more, and soon enough you have an army of chooks helping you compost, fertilize and make the homestead a more lovely place to be.

Spring has arrived and today we are talking all about preparing for Spring in the gardens. We also discuss why we choose to garden without chemicals or pesticides and how this benefits us and the creatures in  the garden. It can be an overwhelming task after a restful Winter, but we are finding ways to keep tasks bite sized so we can manage it and stay ahead in time for the busy growing season.

In this episode we chat all about sustainability and how this doesn't have to be as overwhelming as it first appears. We grow our own food to reduce our carbon footprint and become more sustainable in our food security. But sustainability can look very different to many of us, and at different stages of our life. Find out how we have worked towards being more sustainable in different aspects of our lives. Reduce your eco-anxiety and know that we all start somewhere and that's okay. So why should we care about sustainability, what does it look like in our lives, and what does it really mean to be sustainable? We explore all these questions in today's podcast.

Sometimes the winter blues can kick in and your motivation can get low.  It's all too easy to start comparing your garden and get a feeling like it isn't thriving or doing well. We feel all of that too; that end of season slump. But, it is almost over. Today we share our lack of motivation and, although we feel down, are determined to overcome this. We chat of how we're preparing for spring in Australia. Although the internet gives us lots of inspiration, comparing your garden to other gardens can kill motivation. Today we are delving into how our gardens are thriving no matter how they look. With Spring around the corner they will flourish again.
