But, but, but...so much lawn! What about fruit trees and asparagus beds and shrubs and things.
Anyway, he keeps pigs, he's teetering on the edge...I bet he really wants sheep
(PS High Green Farm, I'm not having a go, I'm just jealous - you don't strike me as the lawn type so there must be a reason behind it!) |
I would love sheep! But it has taken a lot to get to pigs this year, and Mrs HGF still needs convincing (though I have this afternoon bought 13 sheep hurdles from Ebay, so perhaps next year!)
It's not really one large lawn.....
I have three areas of "grass" that I cut each week. The "lawn" which is the bit in front of the house, which is for the kids to play on, and run around on, and for us to enjoy as well. Then there is the "orchard", which we are in the process of planting up, but the two areas merge together and when (note: when not if), we get sheep they will go on the fields behind the house. We will be making as much use of the orchard as we can, but the grass still needs cutting, and the front gardens etc are the one area that we can let the kids play in that does not require a complete change of clothes each time they go there! Still need to maintain an area that is poo free!
Then there is another small section that would be ideal for a ram, but one thing at a time!
Would love geese but Mrs HGF will need even more convincing on them.
But anyway, anyone know anything about John Deere's! |
