If I had 11 acres I'd have my wildflower meadow, with a lovely big pond, I'd also have my own cat rescue centre with homegrown cat nip where I can knit my own toys. I'd also welcome the ferals to live on my land with their own little huts to keep warm in. I'd also have an on sight allotment where I can grow all the fruit and veg I'd ever need. A bee colony. Lots of lovely fruit trees in my orchard. Then I'd have lilacs surrounding my own haven of a garden by my house with a summer house to draw, listen to music, the biggest greenhouse i could find full life at all times. I'd have lots of daisies, cornflowers and grasses, along with foxgloves lupins and sweetpeas. Id also love some jasmine too. I'd also have a shed with some lovely white clematis climbing up it.
I'd like to also have some land for rescue donkeys and horses I think, have a little lodge where I can employ someone to stay and look after them.
My house of course would have lots of lovely wysteria all over it too. And my own cats can finally be free to roam with me while I potter
I too have received a personal message. The first I have ever received in all the years I have been on the board.

Dear Lizanne, I am very sorry that I caused you disappointment. My comment was meant as a light hearted joke and I'm regret any offence I caused.
You are very welcome to the board and I hope that you will stick around.
Many of us have been on here for years and understand each other's sense of humour. We generally are a good bunch who are quick to say sorry and only too glad to help those with a gardening problem...however over the years there have been ups and downs - people who have turned out not to be who they said they were; people pushing their own product or service; spammers etc. so when a new person starts a thread - especially one which stirs up people's emotions as opposed to asking a general gardening query and then don't enter into the discussion it makes us wary.
Hoping after getting off on the wrong foot we can all get back in step and tiptoe through the daisies together, best wishes
I had 9 acres - but the horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, guinea fowl, geese and pigs took up some of the space, not to mention the windmill, three ponds, river and railway line. I'm afraid the flower garden took a back seat but we grew lots of veg
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I have a meadow. It has grasses on mass, and wild flowers and my and my daughter's horses eat them
Nothing stopping you having open invites to your forum friends now Verdun, you have a lovely garden

Welcome to the forum Lizanne, I too am looking forward to seeing your garden pictures and I'm sure you could share some tips.

Half an acre keeps me busy full time.
