Hi,
Just joined after watching Marks videos for a short while on youtube. Im 55 and pretty new to gardening so really appreciate all the good info posted. We live in an old 1921 vintage cottage in the north west of Sydney that we have spent 7 years renovating to the point where we were considering a sea change but can't seem to bear the thought of parting with 'Our little house'
I share this with my lovely wife, 9 yr old son and our latest baby, Rosie, a red cattle dog.
Our house faces north and the back yard is quite shaded so Im slowly transforming the front yard into our veggie plot. I have four in ground beds and a pots and root pouches scattered around.
Im keen on growing some less than mainstream varieties which seems to equate to growing from seed. Im having mixed success but enjoying the challenge.
Anyway, I am really enjoying the community spirit around the whole self sufficiency world. I started as a hobby, but given my wife was made redundant 4 months ago and its looking likely I will suffer the same fate by year end, this is taking on slightly more importance
