The Doctor Aloe Vera is sick

My beautiful Aloe Vera has become sick.

The leaves simply rot at the base, even though the dirt doesn't seem too moist.

New dirt and bigger pots for house plants

During my detailed cleaning in the house, it happens, that I find a forgotten plant in a window behind a curtain.

Very often they look ready for the compost, and sometimes that's also the only option.

But that's a sad ending for a plant, that might be valuable of sentimental or other reasons.

First snow of the season

We got the first little drizzle of snow today (2019) 
Not enough to make it fun though.
I guess everyone is hoping for the wonderful perfect white Christmas (it's almost a tradition to hope for that) and my best bet is, that we won't have snow on Christmas eve this year either.

Step 3: Planning in rough lines

Its time for planning the rough lines for each area and make a connection between the areas and the buildings. Don't leave anything to itself.

Step 2: Planning Individual Areas

To avoid making tasks you hate, the daily maintenance must be easy. The priority of farming must (allways) have higher priority than joyful places.

Step 1: Planning and wishing

I've lived on a hobby farm twice.
The first time I was only lucky not to make the same mistakes as here, just other mistakes. At this second farm, it's not MY farm, and stuff has been made already....
