hello from middlesbrough!

Post: # 222448Post kez »

Hello :wave: i'm kez,
I come from Middlesbrough and live with my partner, two boys and two psychopathic cats.

We try and grow some veg / fruit, generally in containers as we only have a small yard. Its also an ongoing battle with the boys and cats as they try and eat all the veg as soon as it grows! During the year we also forage for berries, apples etc in the local area.
Still along way to go being self sufficient but a start better than nothing

Hoe to speak to you all soon :iconbiggrin:

Hi,

We grow quite a few things in containers. They're great!

What kind of veggies do the cats like?

Regards,
Chuck
