My small piece of heaven

in Fruit & veg
Hello all. I'm on this forum few years now, and few beautiful people here already know me. Growing vegetables is my passion, and I'm gardening over twenty years. I have few acres of land, but it's impossible to cultivate it all by myself. Now I'm self sufficient and all surplus I sell to local restaurants or people. This thread will be like my small journal and for receive or give some advices. And of course, to brag a little bit. 😁 Growing season is very near so I already made all plans, bought almost all seeds and just waiting weather to improve. This year I'll plant 200 kg potatoes, 20 kg onions, 100 sweet potatoes, and many other things. Also, I have orchard with apples, cherries, pears and hazelnuts. I'm looking forward to chat with you all.

    Thank you pansy. Every year I feel my knees more and more.

    Thanks punkdoc and Hostafan. I'll post photos how season progress. I have some photos from last year, but first must find in which file I store them.

    Good to see you @Ante30 … I’m going to enjoy looking around your smallholding (as we call a few acres of productive land).
    I grew up on a farm and when I had children of my own we had a smallholding … we had 9 acres and grew a few veg but mainly we kept animals for milk, cheese, eggs and meat (and ponies to ride) and we swapped our produce with folk who grew vegetables on the allotments nearby. 
    It was hard work but happy times. 😊

    It sound like farming not gardening....200kg of potatoes! Good on you, I am jealous.

    Thank you all.

    Thank SlipperyElm. Last year was a bit disappointment, high temperatures and almost no rain for two months.

    Pansy, unfortunately we don't have something similar to UK gardening shows or competitions. On the other hand, our broadcast agency buy almost all UK gardening shows, so we can watch everything what are you doing up there. 😁
