Hello from Essex

Post: # 203180Post victibz »

Hi,
I'm new to this website and i tend to browse more than i post but i look forward to reading lots of intresting stuff on this website.

I've currently just moved house, but myself and hubby plan to have a large veg patch, which will also have some fruit bushes as we already have at least 2 Apple trees in our garden. I'm also hoping that we will get some chickens.

I love nothing more than a good forage, whether it be in the hedgerow or along the coast line, in fact my husband is always complaining that im forever eating something that ive found on our walks with the dog!!
I always blame my Grandad for that as he was the one who taught me alot about what you can and can't eat from the hedgerow.

I stear clear of mushrooms and fungi as im not very confident with telling then apart and i dont intend to poision myself.
Any way i look forward to hearing from people on here and learning lots of new things.

Victibz xx

Hi there and welcome :wave:
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!

Hello! Welcome. I know what you mean with the mushrooms, I am still too much of a chicken to give it a go.
Look forward to hearing about your ishy adventures!
