2010 WATCH THIS SPACE

For a long time now I have wanted to be more "rural", more Green, more self sufficient.

I find my self constantly irritated by the trip to the supermarket and reading the number of "food miles" my food has travelled. So what I am going to do is grow some of my own food in outdoor pots and garden beds. I'm going to start with Tomatoes, courgettes and runner beans.

All of these are well within my ability. I also fancy some "greens" probably leeks, lettuce and cucumber. And I admit it I have a desire to keep a couple of chickens. Now I still have my reservations about chickens but I am thinking about it.

Time to measure out the beds and dig them over so the late December / early January frost can break up the earth. My garden is about 150 feet long which is quite big enough to have a few veggie beds in it. So 2010 is the year of change, yes ,only a little change but never the less a change. Must get myself a water butt . . . .

That's all Folks
