Sutherland is ours!!! We fell in love with the cottage we rented when we moved down to Ashton from Penrith and agreed a price to buy it. It has taken a while...however we now own Sutherland (as we've chosen to call the cottage). What else could we call it with Suilvan, Arkle and Foinavon all here (the latter two are our little Marmot Mammoths)..?
Having brought the place we can now do a few things to it - and one of those is the back garden. We've got a compostor and some enclosed raised beds to grow veg as well. It's unlikely we'll be self-sufficient or be able to retire in a life of untramelled luxury from growing and selling things....however it is nice to produce our own stuff.
This isn't exactly the correct time to grow most things - however we have got some Spinach, Carrots and some spud bags...a test to see what we can do before really gearing up for it next year. Along with this, we have the compostor going already - hopefully it'll produce some lovely home compost for next spring. A woodstore should arrive soon as well - getting us ready for winter..
