there is a good chance that we'll be buying a house soon.

It is not what I had hoped for, but I'll grant that I have a heavy tendency toward daydreaming.

I wanted a little space for a garden. I wanted to be able to grow a little food in my own home, so if things do get worse, as I fear they will, we would be able to cope...

But, hell, the lot itself is worth more than we could afford. The location is centric, yet peaceful, so an empty lot would be worth more than we are paying. It is a bargain.

So I guess we'll be using the roof to expand the growing space.

I wanted corn, cabbage and beans, all of which need more space than I will have. Some rootcrops, like potatoes, yams , cassava... That I can do.

I've been looking into the SIP (self-irrigating pots?) craze, and I am hopeful.

I wanted a little goat, but there is no space for that. :(

Maybe a few chickens, for the eggs, later on. :)

Then, there's the plan of training a grape vine and a passionfruit vine to a trellis hanging over the roof.

And now that I think about it, there is the whole "hurricane prep" thing to think about.
It is one thing to bring all the elements of a rooftop garden to the roof.
It is quite another to try and get them off as a hurricane approaches.
And something else entirely to get them back on the roof without killing the plant.

A lot to think about.
A lot to plan.
And a lot of work ahead of us!
