Hello from a newbie

Post: # 209017Post JuzaMum »

Hi

I live in sometimes sunny Bournemouth with my 3 sons (17, 14 and 2) and husband. I am trying to live the greener life. My caterpillar and slug farming seems to be going well :banghead: however I am learning. I made my first batch of homemade jam this year and have started making clothes for my youngest son. I am hoping to pick up some hints for successful organic gardening and ideas for homemade toys and gifts.

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!

Welcome to ISH :flower:

You'll be really proud when the jam your youngest has smeared on your carpet is all homemade! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, there's no taste like homemade, so you'll not have made jam for the last time, methinks.
