Becoming More Self Reliant - The Dream
A lot of people have the dream of a few acres of land and self reliance (as opposed to self -sufficiency, which is a myth!). This group is to draw together the experiences of those living the dream and sharing the lessons learned on the way with those still working towards living on the land.See More
Mercurious commented on Janet Luke's group Poultry in Urbania"Hi Emma. It's not mine unfortunately but thought it might be inspiring to post. Great use of an old trampoline. My coop is an old playhouse which the girls love."
Mercurious commented on Hester's group New Zealand Seed and Plant Exchange"Donna that is great news. Lets keep in touch and see which one flowers. Then we'll know for sure. Happy to pay for courier to get a few cuttings here."
Mercurious commented on Hester's group New Zealand Seed and Plant Exchange"Hi Silja Baer.
Mine will flower soon so if yours doesn't then it's a male. Thanks for the offer. We'll have to wait and see a bit longer I guess.

Cheers…

Anybody got ideas?

The potatoe bed was dug over yesterday and the seed potatoes are happily sprouting on the widowsill. This year I'm trying a super fast 60 to 90 day swift, some Maori potatoes and an unknown variety that a friend has kindly given me. Mmmmm new spuds with mint! At the moment I have… Continue
