A new user saying Hello!

Post: # 265234Post gemiki »

It took me a long time to find out how to do this! Well, at last, I managed! So, Hello, I'm French and with my husband (who is American) and my children, we live in a country farm house that we fixed up. Constantly looking for ways to get more and more self-sufficient! I found this site while searching information about Aga or rayburn wood burning rangers and I really liked it. So, hope everybody is having a good summer.......Here,we had so much rain and cold that nothing grew in the garden except for beets and weeds. So much for self-sufficiency!

Hi and welcome
The weather here in England has been rubbish as well. The best crop by far this year has been slugs :(

Hello Gemiki and welcome :flower:
Not a good year at all for growing. By some accounts the worse in living memory so hopefully it can only get better for you.

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:

Everyone keeps saying it's been a bad growing year but the bindweed & brambles don't seem to have noticed! :?
