[Beewyched]

Hi & welcome Ruth from a few miles north from you 
We rent our smallholding from the big family dairy farm just down the road.
We have a large garden at the from of the house - where I do try & grow most of our veg (if I can keep my OH's fowl of it!).  We have planted some fruit trees & bushes (ditto the fowl    ) & the 2 beehives sit in the "orchard".  We have 2 byres we can use at the back - 1 set-up as a piggy maternity wing & another the main herd overwinter to keep them off the 2 acres of VERY slopey (& muddy)  woodland where they live in the winter.
Originally from South Wales, we've been up here for 3 years now & met loads of the lovely folk on here too

  hello and welcome from Durham. we have two allotments with a couple of hens, fruit and veg. I love growing fruit and veg whether I like it or not. The things that do too well ( nothing last year  ) I swap with neighbours for things that I don't grow. It works well.
