With so many of us having higher bills than ever before, with prices of food continuing to rise, there is a need to change our spending habits and embrace making more. Today Robyn and I chat through what's been happening this last month while we have been gone and also share some of the ways we reduce our own cost of living and the choices in our lives that help us be frugal.

Imposter syndrome in the garden and on the homestead is not a fun thing to experience. With social media often glamourising every aspect of day to day life, it can feel disheartening and like you're not doing enough. We've been feeling a little like this lately, particularly with sharing our gardens on Youtube and not feeling like we have much to share, that we should be sharing more, when in reality the garden goes through ebs and flows and slow periods where not a lot happens. In these times, it's fine to not feel the pressure to post on social media or meet 'expectations' that you've created in your mind, but take it slow, surround yourself with good people and set manageable tasks.

Autumn gardening does not need to be unproductive, in fact this is a wonderful time to grow cool weather crops like brassicas, onions, garlic, greens, peas, the list is endless.
