Hello again!
« on: October 20, 2010, 09:38:45 am »
I registered ages ago and said 'hello' then... I don't know what happened!
Anyway, since my last visit, we've bought an eleven acre smallholding and have eight Wiltshire horn sheep and 3 ex-bottle ewes , lots of hens and an organic apple orchard. This keeps us very busy and could explain why I haven't been around!

I look forward to joining in.

Hello Katie!  Welcome again from north Wales.  I'm really jealous of your organic apple orchard - would love an orchard myself.  Planted four apple trees last year, in the area where several red plum trees were growing, which I call the 'orchard', nothing like yours though I'm sure.  :D All the best.

Welcome again, Katie.  I have an orchard too .................................. 4 apple trees, 2 plum trees,and a crab apple  ;)  You might say they are organic too as I don't put ANYTHING on them!  However, I suspect the meaning of 'organic ' is a little more complicated than that.  Any tips on proving it?

Hi Katie and welcome again. NOW all your organic orchard needs are a few organic piggies to eat the windfalls  ;D :pig: :wave:

Nice to see you are going down the pig route.  Gloucestershire Old Spots are the traditional orchard pig.   :wave:

Welcome  ;)
A question re keeping pigs in an orchard - how come the tree roots don't get trashed by the pigs' rooting?
Thanks

Hello :wave: My "orchard" consists of three apple trees and one plum so I, too envy you. I hope all goes well for you.
