I have plenty of room to expand but no motivation to do so. Wise man beign so sensible! I can't stop myself, but the end of my expansion will be when I ask Himself to move the fences out. He'd say no, however.. .......... we've just been advised that there are new rules to apply to our septic tank leach field and we have to fence it off so that stock can't walk over it. To include that area, we'll have to enclose another acre at least so that it forms a logical shape with the rest of the area around the house so I might just have to have more productive area - this tiem it will be productive bushes though such as gooseberried and Blueberries and some dwarf stock apples or peaches. Currently have nine (nominally) 3ftx8ft raised beds plus a variable number of containers, primarily consisting of halved 60-gal. olive/pickle barrels. Enough to keep two old farts in seasonal fresh veggies with a few for the freezer. :-)) I find my biggest challenge in the veg garden is keeping up the supply of the fresh greens. We too are two old farts but I do a delivery to the offspring. Today it was apples, plums, tomatoes and eggs. What produce do you generally feed your freezer? I've fed mine plums, raspberries and tomatoes in the last few days but it will get a few more feeds of apples in the next few days. I'm on 4+ acres with only enough cleared to accommodate two dwellings, a small barn and the attendant flotsam that seems so necessary to human beings. The remainder (as well as most of the surrounding similarly-sized tracts) has remained unmolested since the middle 1960's at the latest. I am allowing more of the area to naturalize over time with certain knowledge that, ultimately, it will be paved parking lot (car park? what do you call them in Oz?) equivalent. Either of those would be be acceptable, but more people would probably say 'car park'. |
