I hope that you and your lads had a good christmas break :o) Now that I know you are into gardening I would love to have some gardening chats! I am a keen long time gardener who does everything people say won't work - but it seems to be mostly ok for me. Let me know if you intend to study again this year.

Regards

Cheri

Noticed that you also reside in Flaxmere. I am looking into self sufficiency and living off the land. Noticed you had an interest in hydroponics - I am looking into aquaponics. Might be great to catch up for a cuppa and exchange notes, if you are keen. Riaz

Very true. Sounds like a sad state of affairs. I wonder what will be next? Still I'm sure a good many will grow what they want anyway.
