Hi
I have just joined this forum as it looks full of interesting info and folk.
I have a house, big garden and 2 acre field on the shores of loch Fyne.
Last year we started a miniscule business growing fruit and veg, some things worked very well - runner beans, tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, greyhound cabbages among others. Some things didn't - carrots, beetroot and chard, leeks, onions.
I hope to learn from my mistakes and do better this year.
We have a small polytunnel and have the skeleton of a second hand large one which I'm a little nervous of putting up as I'm sure bits will be missing.
We are putting it off and plan to put 2 pigs there for the spring/summer to rotavate/weed for us then errect it in Autumn 2011.
We have 12 hens mostly ex-bats and 3 black rocks.
I have just bought some rootrainers and will start sowing tomatoes and peppers very soon.
Look out for many questions......

Hi Katog, and welcome. What a gorgeous part of Scotland you live in. Next time we're up your way, we'll be sure to stop in for some produce. My efforts are on a much smaller scale!
