What does it mean to you?

What does the word ‘homesteading’ mean to you?  To me it means growing and putting up your own food, cooking from scratch, possibly tending your own meat, milk, and fiber animals, all while living as frugally and as ‘green’ as possible.

That general idea usually includes a few acres and a quaint little farm house, while I only have a two-bedroom apartment with a small balcony.  That’s ok, a lot of people have less and for me, it’s about the spirit of the word too.  This is a temporary situation, and I plan to bloom where I’m planted.  Don’t let living in an apartment or in suburbia stop you.  There are tons of things you can start doing now - no need to wait for that perfect property to come along.
