Title: Hello from kinross-shire
Post by: lilfeeb on April 23, 2013, 01:24:10 pm

Hi,

we recently moved to kinross-shire, we already have a few chickens and hope to supplement that with a couple of sheep and a pony. Spending a lot of spare time clearing the little wilderness behind the house and extracting mammoth nettle roots out of the vegetable plot ready for planting. Looking forward to disovering all the delights of the garden as the seasons progress.
