Maybe get some chickens too. You have embraced the life,. You could just live off the grid one day. Something I'd like to do.

Re: Veggies show them off here...

Got just one Chicken left,called Henryetta and she lays only some days now. The French grow a lot of stuff, we still after 6 years struggle to get good produce. Pots and Toms are easy really. Cannot grow runner beans here at all..the produce foliage and even had some flowers but no beans grew from them.. have to have the french round small beans only here..same in Spain as well.

Re: Veggies show them off here...

Charlotte's.. seem to be a reliable salad crop, but they have roasted well in a little Olive Oil, not greasy unless you use too much...couple of tablespoons in a roasting dish for 3/4 people is enough oil..Put the part boiled spuds in when very hot , they then sizzle nicely...
