counturchickens Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 After 2 years of looking we have finally found a house with a big garden that we could afford, had to go to auction mind you. This was our second attempt at an auction...it is all very nerve wracking, and only decided 3 days before that we were going to go all through it again but it was worth it in the end! After all the rain I was feeling a bit down in the dumps, but now I am supermotivated, spent 6 hours today weeding our allotment so feeling very tired but happy! Lots of planning to do for a new veg plot and chicken run...so excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Marvellous! How big is big? Will you give up the allotment or keep it going? Half the fun is in planning, I spend all winter imagining what I'm going to do - it never actually happens, especially this year because the weather's got in the way, but it whiles away the dark evenings. When do you take possession? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counturchickens Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 A third of an acre, plus there might be the chance to rent some more which backs on to the garden (although a third of an acre should do!) The previous owners did use the land to graze their goats on though We will be giving up the allotment next march, we've had it 4 years and will be sad to leave it some ways, but can't wait until next summer when I can stroll down the garden to get veg, rather than jump in the car. The way the garden is laid out means that there is a definite hen space, and a seperately veg space which is good....and a possible goat space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 A third of an acre, that sounds wonderful. I would love a bigger garden one day. Have fun in yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
