HELLO from Sacramento California

Post: # 171417Post spitfire »

Hello EVERYONE.Glad i found this wonderful site!!
I am originally from northern Ireland, then Mildenhall (suffolk) and I have been here in Sacramento CALIFORNIA since 1983.
We do not have allotments here so i have to make do with the back garden, It's not a great size but big enough to keep us(me, hubby, sons(2) their wives and 6 grandkids supplied with fresh tomatoes, greenbeans,spaghetti squash, strawberries,bellpeppers
and also hot chile peppers. I have not tried any winter crops yet, still thinking about it.
We bought 2.5 acres of raw land in Klamath Falls Oregon and plan to retire there with some chickens etc. not great land it is high desert but the price was right.
WHEN MY IRISH EYES ARE SMILING I'M USUALLY UP TO SOMETHING!!!
NEVER REGRET THAT WHICH ONCE MADE YOU SMILE.

Hello and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi and welcome :wave:
Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."
