Hi Pebbles,
At least we don't get heavy frost here.  It rarely goes below -1 here.

Hello,
I got most of my chickens from other people, and one I managed to hatch in an incubator I borrowed.  I've got one wyandotte, 2 silkies, 1 scots dumpy.  I want to change over to light sussex, but I'm looking around at what I can get from other people in the area first.  So far I've managed to grow, broad beans, jerusalem artichokes, broccoli, kale and sprouts, carrots and beetroot, and a few potatoes.  I've put in an apple tree but it's struggling.  I got it on mail order - I think it would have been better getting it from a local nursery.  My gooseberries and redcurrants are doing well though.  I've also put in worcesterberries that are doing well, but are yet to fruit.
