Hi Guys n Gals,
I’ve come seeking companionship, moral support (ummm lots of it!), knowledge & enlightenment on my quest to become self sufficient.
A total beginner (as I don’t really feel the odd herb, tomato plant or mint over the years really count), I’ve always wanted to be able to grow my own fruit n veg & have (eventually) chookies. My dad grew them when I was growing up, and I always used to help with the easier tasks and of course the harvesting ! Especially the cherries, as he used to send me up the tree to collect them.
My little merry band consists of Mr PH, Me and the three veggie loving four-footed musketeers. We now live in the home inherited from my dad, and it does have a good useable space front and back, but it’s currently very overgrown, (not to mention very shady in places in the back due to the trees close by) and will need lots of work. So to start with it’s going to have to be containers.
So, I’m putting my challenge out there – and your mission should you choose to accept it …. Is to point me in the right direction to turn a beginner into a pro .. a wilderness into the garden of Eden …. A chookie-less lover into a chookie-owning lover …. And errm … all with limited resources (just me!) and an extremely tight budget… Is this truly a Mission Impossible ?
