Yes that's true. Heavily wooded to the point we only have one small spot to grow vegetables and herbs.That’s double what we haveEdit: Hmm I might check that at some point, the person who told me that isn’t a reliable source.
Solar powers come on a long way, you don’t have to have bright skies to make it worthwhile anymore.
Although I suspect all those trees around your place would scupper solar power for you anyway
That would suit me.
The first year I was back here the power averaged our 10 hours/month. Pita that...
I was gonna drive down and help you BBQ grill all your freezer meats.
I don't do the work lol, I just help decide what to plant and prepare it in meals.That would suit me.
I often suffer with paying the price for grands plans.
I had to reel myself back in just doing some planters for the outdoor kitchen
Hmm it seems I have some lessons to learn
Yes!Hmm it seems I have some lessons to learn
BUT...I just noticed this. I'm proud of being a part of this wonderful community, and just stopping by gives me a sense of calm, even though I don't have much to share lately. 
We love it when you drop in!Not much time to create in the kitchen lately

Did you forget the knee things? Makes less laundry keeping the clothes clean!Woke up in a foul mood due to some irritating BS that’s going on at the moment, thought SOD THIS and took the day off!
Went to the garden centre which has changed enormously since I last went there 20 years ago (it’s now jumbonormous) spent 3 hours looking at stuff and being advised by their very knowledgeable staff about what would likely survive coastal weather (particularly the fearsome wind).
Had a lovely time. The plants might not have been my first choice but I’m very happy with them knowing they are designed to survive where I’m putting them.

Even picked up gardening gloves that fit really well. Let’s see if I actually use them
I did in fact buy a kneely pad too!
