Update
Well, food wise May ended up being a lot better. I ended up being given almost 200 dollars in meat. I harvested 12 heads of loose leaf lettuce. I have turnip greens ready to pick. I have potatoes well on their way to becoming delicious and purple. I have kale and dill ready to harvest. I have onions half way to harvest, and garlic in the ground. Our radishes were not so great this year. The cabbage didn't grow, and only one little pea plant did.
Our small chickens are finally outside the house, so now they can catch bugs and eat grass! (Less chicken feed.) This also means we won't use electricity to heat them with a heat lamp.
We have 3 roosters ready for butcher any time. Our oatmeal and rice is low. But we have a lot of beans and potatoes now. We have some frozen peppers the neighbour gave. The black berries are starting to show up, along with the passion fruit. We eat the passion fruit every summer. It calms the kids down literally. They will all snack on a fruit and take a two hour nap.
I found some walking onions the other day. We also have 9 fruit trees planted. They won't grow for a couple years though.
