Week 7 — the deadline you cannot move
The frost date isn't a target. It's a wall.
Everything on the meter has to be in the ground, in the cellar, or in the freezer before it arrives — and it arrives whether or not I'm ready. That's the whole episode this week. No trick to it.
What moved: the berries row. Kristiina picked it, not me. First real movement on the meter that came from the land instead of the shop. Every other row is still where it was.
What didn't move: protein. Predators are the reason, and I'm not solving that this month.
The open one I still owe you: what counts as an input cost. Seeds, fuel, chicken feed, freezer electricity, blades. I have to publish that rule before the cycle finishes or the whole number is worthless — because a year of "self-sufficiency" that quietly cost €4,000 in inputs isn't self-sufficiency, it's an expensive hobby with good camera work. I'd rather define it now, while it can still count against me.
One important mention, I fixed the number based on calorei consumption. Me and Kristiina will need 4400 calories per day.

Question for the room: if you were writing the input-cost rule, where would you draw the line? Chicken feed — in or out?
Now I will head to the forest, there are still a lot of mushrooms, like chanterelle. Unfortunately the golden week of porcini mushroom is over. They are full of worms...I can also pick milk-cap mushrooms and salt-cure them.
And I need to make a plan of building the winter chicken coop and find a pair of hands to help me do it.

An ex-CEO's meter: six rows, months of winter covered, updated weekly. Zero to self-sufficient in a year, for €6,000. Where the numbers get argued.
