Is'nt it lovely being self sufficient..... home reared bacon, free range fresh eggs, on home made bread, if only we could produce our own flour, well maybe next year I will grow an experimental bed and try some grains not a huge amount just enough to grind up for a couple of loaves. Maybe a 10 ft square patch as we have plenty of growing space.
Todays job....
Andre has to go to the docs for an asthma check, whilst we are in Llanfyllin we are going to sort out the sugar daddys trailer.(Jim) A few months ago he put a huge load of muck on his trailer for our veg patch, but he only got half way and the over loaded trailer's tyre gave up, so we are going to go and try and get the wheel off and change it so it can hopefully comlete the journey and dump the lovely goodness the muck has for our ground.... It is much needed, our veg patch hasn't done very well it is crying out for humus...The plan is to put maybe 10 loads on the field, dig it in ruffly with our digger then put the pigs on over winter, then start again next year, hopefully then we will enjoy the heritage veg we had hoped to grow this year...
Right i'm nicley stuffed now so better go and see how much we can get done!!!
