You could say that unemployment has its advantages. All of a sudden, you have lots of time to do those things you always wished you had the time for, if it weren't for all those hours you were putting in at the office. That's the way I've preferred to look at it, anyway. So, when the weather became uncommonly spring-like in February, I went out to the backyard and began to make my mini-farm dream come true.This has required lots of digging because the "back 40" of my standard 50' x 100' city lot has, up until now, been a mass of Himalayan blackberry vines. Yes, I could rent a backhoe or goats to get rid of them, but I'm unemployed. I have no money. So this project requires a lot of manual labor and ingenuity and not a whole lot else. Besides, it's more fun that way. Really!
