Balancing Work & Homesteading 💻🌱
Training, Gardening, and Exciting Plans!
As another Sunday rolls around, I can hardly believe how swiftly the weeks have passed amidst my recent training endeavors. As I've mentioned in my previous videos, I'm currently immersed in a three-week training program for a new part-time call center job I've taken on.
This job isn't just about earning; it's about sustaining my homestead dreams. With extensive plans for my eco-community in Bulgaria, I've realized the importance of balancing income with time for homesteading tasks. Despite the intense training schedule, I'm brimming with excitement for the upcoming developments once it concludes.
My seedlings are thriving—radishes, carrots, mint, melons, watermelons, tomatoes, and potatoes are all showing promising growth. To streamline the process, I've decided to create a box garden, repurposing old cardboard boxes as planters. This approach minimizes labor-intensive ground preparation, crucial as I manage the large plot of land solo for now.
Beyond gardening, I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of my friend from America and actively seeking volunteers interested in experiencing homesteading life in exchange for food, lodging, and a unique Bulgarian holiday. Additionally, I'm on the lookout for two like-minded women to join me permanently on the homestead.
Exciting plans also include welcoming a couple of goats to assist with land maintenance, offering a natural and sustainable solution to managing the rapid grass growth. Not only will they serve as eco-friendly lawnmowers, but they'll also provide companionship and a source of fresh goat's milk for cheese making—my culinary delight.
While I navigate the challenges of balancing work and homesteading, I cherish moments of relaxation and connection with friends, enjoying the beauty of Bulgaria's unexplored landscapes. The support from my growing community fuels my motivation, and I'm grateful for each milestone reached, including my channel's recent recognition and sponsorship from FitVille.
