After much debate and stressing over the need to get the pig set up done, we have decided to hold off on pig raising this year.  I'm bummed about it but with the Hugel bed happening I  really need to focus on getting things planted in it and in getting the fruit and nut tree crop going.  This will involve a lot of thought and planning to get right since I'm going for the food forest permaculture design.  It will also require some serious money to get done.   Also with the Hugel bed I am going to be able to grow a huge amount of veggies in a small amount of space so i don't need to dig up the ground this year to get a crop and am rethinking the whole pig plan.  The summer long process of harvesting will also take up a lot of time, all of these things equaling out to NO PIGS...
