Building a solar dehydrator, finish the garden redesign and building a couple raised boxes close to the back deck and plant raspberries and maybe blackberries in them.

What about you MM?

Build my greenhouses. Possibly get the fence up around them, we want a space for some raised beds/compost/potatoes/eventual shed for mini tractor & tool storage & we want to fence it all to keep at least larger critters out, but money will dictate that. If I get the fence up I might start the chicken coop... not doing the coop without the fence, chickens wouldn't last a month without getting chomped by the locals. Replace the roof on one of my sheds. Need to drop some trees and some other general saw work before it gets to dry to safely run the saw. was going to do a fire pit with some stone work & benches, but we're so dry this year there is no way in hell I'm burning anything outside this year, lol. Operation tree house will probably need to wait as well, its been a tight winter financially. I am building a whole bunch of fruit crate type of boxes that we are gonna stack & use for shelves, but it has honestly just been too cold to work for very long out in the garage- hoping to scrounge a small wood stove for the garage to deal with this problem as well.

Spring is my most sctive time because I'm all over Montana & Idaho chasing the spring run-off, but If I don't get some concrete projects done the Housekeeper might just kill me in my sleep :)

We'll be planting a big garden again this year. Lot's of dry beans and potatoes. If the land deal goes through, we'll be building a place on the new property. I'll probably get a cow to fatten up over the summer. We're going to try to do a little more fishing this year. Oh, and a couple of solar/geothermal projects. Nothin much...

Build, then plant our square foot garden. New roof on the house. Ride my bike a ton!

If I can do those three things I will be set. :)
