2007/8/9

So the first couple of years. All I produced was herbs, potatoes and cut and regrow salad greens. The fruit trees did nothing for a while but I kept planting more trees as much as I could afford to buy. 2 of the 3 black current bushes took and seem to be doing well but both the gooseberry bushes died, the soil needs work before I try again.

Then last year the chickens were the first to produce some thing I could eat and I did. Those eggs were fantastic, followed later in the year by a few small cooking apples which went into a lovely oaty apple crumble!

So 2009 some Eggs and a hand full of apples added to my annual bounty, but still I felt like a small holding fraud which let to a plan for 2010

• green house
• raised beds for planting veg
• Turkeys for christmas
• some geese for eggs/meat
