Hi everyone. Thought id jump in and introduce myself.
Im going to start by saying, I have absolutely NO IDEA what I'm doing. Past year or so, ive been growing random things around the garden, some with great success, some with mediocrity. Nothings a failure though, because if it doesn't fully succeed, at least I gives the bees a playground, and feeds my chickens.
Just now ive got a few wee things on the go, but not a lot of anything. Chillis, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, sweetpeas, aubergines, broadbeans, cucumbers, baby corn, various herbs.
Cherries, green and black gooseberries, raspberries, black currents, gogiberries, strawberries.
I also have 7 atlantic pumpkin plants, that im REALLY hoping come good with the fruits :-)
Anyway, I poddle about and see what works. ive got a wee bit of ground next to my coop, im going to fix up for next years plantings etc. So ill bounce around the forum, learn what I can, probably ask some totally ridiculous questions, and hopefully get something sustainable thrown together. Failing that, it'll still be useful as a jungle gym for Pea & Ham, Rouge, Storm & Mystique, who wee affectionately refer to as The X-Hens.
Add in three dogs who think all things planty are there simply to roll in to make them smell nice, and its going to be a lot of fun.
As I read elsewhere, you all like pictures, I've attached some of the birds, their palace, the veggie pond. I whack up some of the other stuff I have going tomorrow :-)
Glad to be here, pleased to meet you all.
