hi all.
im johnathan from macclesfield.
im new to self sufficent style fo things, but have been very intot he idea for a while. unfortunatly i live in an apartment, so not able to do much, my garden consisits of a basil plant on my window sill haha.
but i am a keen cook, and the idea of growing my own food etc int he future, and down to hunting if i knew where to go and fishing is something i find very exciting. and also energy sources, but one thing at a time lol.
well will see you around the forum.
and hopefully maybe find some people who know about foraging(sp) which would be really good.
cheers

Hi there and welcome 
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi Johnathan - I assume your Mum couldn't make up her mind? 
You're going to be pleasantly surprised at exactly how many herbs, chillis, tomatoes etc. you can grow on that basil-holding windowsill. Especially in Cornwall.
