Tell us about your garden and what you're growing

My partner Hugh and I have been very keen gardeners for years, but are now on the verge of shifting from suburbia to 3 acres of land out in the country, where we're in the last stages of doing up a hundred year old bungalow to live in. We've planted lots of fruit trees, and are planning to have ducks, chickens, and get back into beekeeping using warre style hives. We have 3 very lovely Awassi milking sheep, and plan to gradually move towards as self sufficient a lifestyle as possible. We both have a strong interest in permaculture, and the sharing of food, seeds, and knowledge with others.
