Your garden looke real nice!
The only green in my garden, is the moss and the weeds I didn't pull last year!
Oh, and the little bit of garlic I DID get around to planting last year!

I would say to start out small. If you have never worked a farm you may be overwhelmed with all the chores and responsibilities. Milk cows need to be milked twice a day no matter what the weather is. Pastures need to be mowed. If you have a snow storm or blizzard like we had in Oklahoma this week you may be stymied. We had to shovel thru 4 feet deep drifts just to open gates and doors to care for our animals, some gates we simply had to climb over. It was also 26 degrees a normal 15 minute job turned into over 2 hours, We have 42 chickens, 4 goats and 3 horses(at home). We also have a stable with 47 horses that was the easy part as we built for bad weather and have a plan in place for all kinds of weather. Feed in place for 1 week all the water tanks full(in case the electric goes off and a generator) We can always chop ice gets buckets of water. Luckily we are from Wisconsin so we buried our water lines deeper than is usually called for here in Ok so we had no frozen water lines. If you start small and plan well you will enjoy your homestead.
