As you can see from the plan there is a real possiblity I'll be able to turn a cash crop as well as good, home grown food for my family. Of Course the plan is for the summer but I'll hopefully be growing from as soon as the fencing goes up to protect our veg.
Although it would be fantastic to not have to buy any veg at all i know thats not going to happen straight away. We've had small pots before and although it was a success, some things just aren't supposed to be grown in scotland and it was the sweetcorn that proved that!
When I say supposed to be grown, I'm literally talking of the most basic growning, in the ground an given a water, however if I can take a cash crop a poly tunnel may change the layout of our small holding. Also a decked eating area would be nice but it all takes money and like most people these days we're hardly rolling in it!
Hopefully a cash crop will be on the cards but I'll keep you updated when it starts to happen. If push comes to shove and we need to eat everything we grow then that will just have to do!
