Hmm… how about your tips for combining a suburban homesteading life with a full-time job or two? What does your weekly day job vs. homestead schedule look like at various times of the year?

What are common challenges that suburban homesteaders face from proximity to neighbors–and what are the best ways to deal with them? (Personally vested here: I’m interested in eventually having a beehive, but concerned about the neighbors’ reaction to swarming, potential sting allergies, etc.)

What are some of the best ways to start homesteading on a small scale/how can you gently introduce your family to suburban homesteading?

Thanks for your requests for input, and thanks for the blog–I’m finding it so inspiring!

Viggie:

Persimmons are well worth trying. I think they have an interesting sweet, but tangy flavor. Most baked goods recipes use the softer varieties.

The recipe is an old family favorite. Tried and true.

Interesting, can’t say I’ve ever had a persimmon.

This sounds like a great idea. My hands are always so dry in the winter they almost hurt.

Boy is this a timely article! We’ve been doing many of these things in our urban loft and we’ve just purchased a house in the suburbs. Now that I have all the land I could want I’m overwhelmed by where to start! Help.

Your link to the 72-Hour Emergency Kit checklist goes to the Mormons instead. Very disappointing.
