Lazy Gardener
Super Self-Sufficient
You may very well be too busy with the move to do a garden. But, don't forget... If you get into a place before fall, you can do some unconventional gardening: stick some seeds in a flower bed. Many veggie plants are decorative in form and color. a hay bale can be conditioned to provide an instant growing bed in 2 weeks. Set that up near a water source, and you've got a full season's crops: greens, herbs, or tomato and cuke with no digging involved. Hydroponics: Once a Kratky system is in place, you don't even need to water it! And it can be as simple as a coffee can or 5 gal. bucket.
I wish you the best with your property search. Don't forget: seek the unconventional in that regard, also. foreclosure properties can be a great steal. Look for the neglected property that is in a nice neighborhood. Buying and sprucing up such a place gives you INSTANT equity. B/C property values are based on neighborhood as well as the individual piece of property. With all you have on your plate, you would not want to take on anything with structural issues. But... a piece of property that just needs landscaping, paint, and minor repairs can be a fantastic bargain.
