Despise not small beginnings

I am beginning my second year here on Willow Wood homestead and in that first year, I began with 4 chickens and now have almost 40. I had 2 Muscovy ducks a couple of months ago and now I have four. I began with no fruit trees and I have now planted 17...pear, peach, apple and plum...most of them are dwarf but I do have 4 that are full sized and heirlooms. The first year here, I did some container gardening this past Spring I had a garden tilled 15x30 but it did prove to be a bit much for me so next Spring I will try square foot gardening. Small beginnings. Though they may be small, they are beginnings none-the-less and not to be despised.
