I've just signed up to this forum and wanted to introduce myself.
I'm 22 years old and I am very new to all of this. My goal is to become as self-sufficient as possible, but I think I will need help with this!
So far, I have started my own organic container garden (snow peas, chives, tomatoes, alpine strawberries, radishes, parsley, cucumbers, salad mix and carrots). I think I'm doing okay with them!

I've also started to purchase only organic foods (obviously I want to grow my own fruit & veg and only have to purchase meat etc - but I don't have any growing yet! LOL).
My next step is to change all of the bulbs in my house to energy saving bulbs. I'm switching to biodegradable/organic soaps so that I can use my bath water etc for my gardens/yard and I also intend on changing all of my household products to environmentally friendly ones - of course as funds permit.
Ideally what I am looking for is a list of steps that will tell me exactly what to do to switch to being as self sufficient and environmentally friendly as possible (ie what projects to concentrate on first and so on).
I am also having trouble knowing exactly what I should grow. I'm trying to get as much as possible and want to eventually grow many more vegetables, but I have trouble knowing what to grow when and where etc... hopefully this site or someone on here can help me.
I would like to make a website/diary to show my conversion so that others who want to take the same steps can follow it!
Anyway, that's a bit about me!
