Considering that I come from a farming family, and what's going on these days, I'd love to have the option of backyard chickens. That's a no-go here though - violates local ordinances, unless you happen to actually live on property zoned for farming, absolutely no livestock permitted for any reason, and our property is zoned residential.
I could possibly have a small garden... kinda skittish about even trying that again though, since every time I plant any veggies at all, we end up with a terrible drought. You know how when you leave a 6" zucchini in the garden it'll grow to the size of a baseball bat overnight? The last time I had a garden, the drought was so bad that my zucchinis only grew to about 3" long, and about as big around as a kindergarten crayon. I was watering them every day, hoping I could get them to grow big enough to actually eat. We were under water use restrictions that year, so I was saving gallons and gallons of rinse water from the washing machine every day, and using that to water my garden. Didn't help at all - they actually shriveled, while I was trying to get them to grow.
With what's already going on in the world this year, I'm really kind of afraid to tempt fate again.
