Hi there, I am putting 4 pigs on a 3/4 acre site from now until probably September, after they are in the freezer I would love to use the ground to over winter vegetables, can anyone tell me which veg would be good?? I live in Southern Ireland, literally next to the sea, it is a fairly exposed site ...

I made them

I love the Green Grass here in West Cork Southern Ireland along with the sparkling Blue Sea I trully wouldn't change it for the world.

ok, I think I had better post this under cover of darkness

I have to admit to the gravy granule thing, this is just laziness on my part becasuse the Bisto powder really is just as easy, I would make fish cakes although sometimes it is easier to buy them it just depends on time really, most things I try and cook from scratch...........but sometimes I fail mi...

This is a major breakthrough for our area and the first time that this has ever been done, there are lots of people trying to get a plot, luckily we don't need one as we have lots of land, but for the local community it is a major plus...........good for them. they even have a special catagory in th...

Its great to be here, and I look forward to posting
