Hallo from Anjou, France

Post: # 81270Post Jean »

Well, we can't even pretend to be selfsufficient in anything other than aspirations. But we do have a veggie patch and when we have time to clear the weeds we occasionally get a tomato (not last year though thanks to the rain!). I always plant a ratatouille: onions, tomatoes, aubergines and courgettes. Anything else is a bonus.
We have two beehives (we became beekeepers last year), this year we'll be getting some chickens and I am hopefully going to win the argument for the pigs. But for this I will need advice - so start it coming please!

Anjou is a lovely part of France but is sadly beginning to become a little English. The weather is not unlike southern England, but warmer.

Just off to find my map so I can locate Anjou. I am in Calvados and am no good at French geography.

Hello to someone else in France

We have been here just over a year with our veggie plot and livestock - including piggies!

All the best, Monika
