Yes, I agree with the just do it idea. I try, and fail, to jump in with all pistons firing and metaphorical-guns ablazing just because I know there will always be things unexpected.

I'm surprised cats were being the predators. The farm I used to get my food at had cats and chickens and they didn't really bother each other. They walked past each other like it was nothing. Same with their dog. Also, I did not think raccoons or skunks would be predators.

Part of me speaking about it here, and being open about my failures in that regard, is to get me to at somepoint step and do it. You asking me about it is what I need.

Cats weren't the predators that time; they just kept getting into the traps which prevented me from catching whatever was eating them.

We did catch several feral cats too (in addition to the pets). Those were prob after our baby chicks, since that time was near the baby chick coop.

The tame barn cats did kill a couple quail before we reinforced the bottom of the quail tractor that we made, though.

We could be more active in a homestead group, if ya like. It might help give motivation.

I really want to do herbs for cooking, but also medicinal, so would be nice to have some tips.

I find herbs easy to grow, plus many make great companion plants to the more popular food crops. Basil plus tomatoes is maybe the most famous. (Garlic, carrots, marigold, basil and tomatoes play nicely together in a bed.)

I will look at the homestead saidit, which I guess is what you were referring to.
