Hello

Post: # 95640Post Mistrewoman »

Hi

I looked at this site a few weeks ago and today managed to join. I moved to a bungalow 7 months ago with a fair sized back garden, my husband is happy as he has a garage to use as a workshop. So I negotiated a piece of the garden for me!

I have just finished putting together my green house (4 X6), and yesterday planted out (from the pots they have been in for a year) 2 Blueberries, a Gooseberry, a Blackcurrant and a thornless Blackberry.

I recycle everything I can, I only buy freereange and organic, make my own bread and buy nothing that is already made in the food line (unless their is no choice) :cheers:

My firens and work mates all think I am mad - but I am happy in this state
