I fear I may have bitten off more than I can chew this summer.
This will be our first spring/summer in our new house. I am planting my first ever "real" garden (not just a cherry tomato plant in a pot). I have ordered a chicken coop and expect to have pullets in a few weeks. I want to try my hand at a little solar cooking. I intend to plant a few fruit bushes and trees, so harvesting time will be plenty busy. And I hope to dehydrate and root cellar any garden surplus (assuming I grow something other than weeds).
Lemme tell you... all of this is way out of my comfort zone.
I have a history of starting big projects but letting them slide mid-way through. I hope that doesn't happen here, or I'm going to have one seriously expensive small shed with nesting boxes in my backyard.

Kudos to you for taking on chickens. I wish I were in a rural area so I could do that as well. Good Luck with the gardening too. Get in touch with your local county extension office. They have great resources for gardeners and are really helpful if you run into any problems.
Just a little bit at a time and I bet you'll have no problems. Or a really awesome shed and dirt in the back yard. Whatever.
Seriously good luck to you. That is a lot all at once and you are far braver than I am.
Hang in there! I know it's really easy to have eyes bigger than your hands can accomplish, but I know you'll do awesome. While you won't succeed right off the bat at everything you try, you'll learn just as much from what you DO do.
I've got a wish to-do list a mile long for our new house once we move, so I'm in the same place! I'm trying not to over commit myself (and my pregnant belly) to too many projects -- because I know poor Joseph will have to take over. Lol!
Have fun!
