Saving the Farm – Season 2, Episode 1 – (Back to basics.. and the beginning)

From my previous post you will understand that we’ve left the farm to its own devices and, apart from a small haul of fresh veg, it has basically gone to pot!!

To put it in perspective our young tender courgette plants provided the basis for a “STUFFED MARROW” dinner last night ;-) Absolutely delicious (recipe to follow…)

It’s been unloved and neglected and mother nature has paid us back for our lack of effort by trying to reclaim what is rightfully hers but NO MORE!! I have a plan the make the most of £25 yearly rent and intend to turn our little wasteland into a frugal food producing farm.. I love it when I am down there working but it’s always been to effort of “going to the farm” that has let in slide into the abyss.

The small haul from this year (see previous post) has re-kindled the passion to get down there and make it work for us to provide us with the pleasure of growing and eating our own veg and using the money (that would otherwise have gone to tesco’s) on something a little more worthwhile (like swimming lessons for the dog…)

This blog will be the “diary of the farm” - turning it from the state it is now back to working, operational and fun place to be!!

Hopefully I’ll provide tips to other like-minded people along the way and, more importantly, hopefully get a few tips myself

This is going to be hard work…. But hopefully, in the end, worth every second!!
