Title: Howdy!
Post by: Millwood on July 07, 2011, 08:01:59 am

Hello from a slightly damp but sunny Oxfordshire! :wave:

Been lurking on here a few days and its great to be amongst people with the same outlook on life.
My husband & I have 3acres which we're turning into a market garden to grow fruit, veg & flowers at our weekly market, about 1 acre currently under cultivation, 2 large polytunnels, orchard of approx 40 trees, and some :chook: :chook:! Currently looking at buying a tractor and narrowed it down to possibly a MF135, going to look at some next week! Piggies :pig: planned for the future!
