I always respect your determination to establish your farm and recognise your ambition. It concerns me how much you try to do. I see too many enterprises that don’t afford you adequate planning time. Remember you are just one person. Pick two that can run in harmony. Perhaps pastured layers that take up your early morning and evening work, moving, collecting and processing eggs. You can run these between tree lanes for perennial crop and forage. Alongside market garden which would occupy the rest of your working day, shutting down from December-late February giving you time to develop detailed crop plans, maintenance and infrastructure and most importantly, rest. If all you are running in December to February a farm hand could take responsibility and you may even be able to take an extended break! Burnout is real. You have amazing land and will. Best of luck
Really appreciate the hard work involved in your muck moving, having done much less at a community garden last week which wiped me out! It's a strange year weatherise, but you've got flourishing starting to happen!
Hey Geoff. Great to follow you on this walk around. Things are happening. Those bread beans have really got going now. We loved this vid. Thanks. Our laming is more or less over. I'll send you some figures. Weather here has been wet and windy. Milder today but still with a wind. 🤓🐶🧔
Everything is waking up at last. Know your pain with the Blackbirds, they are all over our allotment and follow us around whilst we work. We have bigger holes in our bark paths which are dangerous to walk on and have to fill them in each visit as could be trip hazards. Thought it was the Blackbirds but maybe the Crows/Rooks. Couldn't garden without netting here in Hampshire due to Pigeons. Wishing you a successful year 😊

The newt was cool. The muck moving looked like hard work but a job well done. Lovely to see the lambs doing so well.
Definitely could have been easier! 😆
I loved this video. Spring is wonderful ❤
Thanks!

Glad you're almost done - hope it went well 🙏🏻

Very frustrating isn't it?! I do have some pigeon issue, mostly on baby brassicas.
Everything is looking so good. Spring is so strange this year!
It is! The weather is having a total crisis of identity!
