Your Questions About Gardening

i need advise on where to start and what to do about my farm.?

I am 23 year old male and am looking to get away i was raised in the country and hate the city. I have children and can understand that a full time profit farm is far from hand but i want to get to that point. i am looking at land near nashville and want to start a nice farm maybe 20 acres or 40 at the most for start up. i am pretty green under the thumb and some equine experience but in my opinion horses are more for hobby and less of a money maker. can anyone shoot some ideas with some tips on easy start ups on a farm? the areas i am looking at are livestocking pigs and when a little more on my feet some cattle. as for others i was talking to my god mother and she brought up gardening and foliage. i have been looking at trees that give good bloom and nice vine flowers that i can use to buetify my farm yet also sell in a farmers market with our candels and other crafts.

sooooooooo long story what would yall say is feesable i am more than willing to answer q and a and maybe get some nice insight i tried to reach out to the circles here but everyone seems to hold a secret “on the next runner up that will take bread off there table”

basic low down of the farm will be
*livestock (what kind and what kind of profit can be made form it)
*foliage (is there a profit here besides the obvious sight on the homefront)
*and also a last tidbit i have read a little adn always been curious maybe beekeeping i hear there honey sells well and also there good for the foliage.
ill have to look into the community that helps and hits home one something i would be interested in.

as for the goats if memory serves me they can destroy pastures pretty quick so what would you recomend for keeping there stomachs full and my fields lush and green lol like i said if memory serves me are they not like sheep and eat all the way down to the root which would result in me replanting fields every year or two but i am in agreement goats are something i might have overlooked for the fact of there produce and there meat value…….

what do you think i should do?

Okay so i got prego with my daughter when i was 18 then got kicked out then when i was 19 my mom dropped my 2 sisters off at my house and never came back to get them and so i got full custody of them and it ruined my sisters they have never been the same i am now 20 and taking care of my daughter and my 2 sisters and am 3 months prego. well my 2 sisters are 4 and 14 and they miss my mom so much and they cry every night and they still do my 4 year old sister made me put a phone in her room so she could hear it if my mom ever called and there will be times when she wants to go on a walk and look for mommy and it hurts me so much because i accualy got in touch with my mom a year ago which was 2 months after she dropped them off with me and she told me she never wanted to see the brats again and i just wish she could see what shes doing to my sisters she is tearing them apart my 14 year old sister takes it easier then the 4 year old. 2 weeks ago i found out where my mom is staying and was trying to figure out weather i should go by and talk to her and see if theres anyway she would come back in my sisters lives or if i should take them by to see her because today which is mothers day my 4 year old sister picked flowers out of the garden and came to me and said can we find mommy and give these to her because i know how much she loves them and that just tore me up its so sad watching them cry every night wishing she would come back. in a way i really do not want my mom to come back in there lives because she is not stable at all and i know she will just run off and leave them again and i do not want then to go through that again i do not think they could handle it and so im leaning more towards not contacting my mom and leaving it alone but then i feel like im letting my sisters down and not helping them see there mom again but i know she does not want to see them because if she did she would of came by to see them because she knows where i live its been a year since they have seen her so i guess it probably would be better if i leave it alone and not contact her right? so do you think it would be better off for them to talk or see there mom again or if i should just leave it alone and tell them that i can not find mom and that she loves them but needs time away? so please suggestions are wanted
i would def talk to my mom before i ever made a decision weather i want them to see her or talk to her but if she does not want to see her talk to her i am not going to force it because i can not stand to put my sisters through that i am still deciding weather i want to put myself through it an go talk to her but thanks for your help it means alot and im sorry about your situation also. and if you do not mind i might have my 14 year old sister email you one day so she can talk to you about it and maybe you can help her thanks again
see them or talk to them***
