    Hi All, I'm from a village not far from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
    I have a small flock of hens & a white tabby cat....oh & a lovely husband!
    I've been veg gardening for several years & love it! I also enjoy my flowerbeds although since I've had free ranging hens they aren't as pretty as they were!
    We have very heavy clay soil, but I keep adding horse muck & compost & it's improving year by year!
    I have a small greenhouse which I grow cucumbers & tomatoes in every year. I also have 3 fruit trees.
    My biggest dream is to one day own more land or a small holding!?

            Oh wise owl, it looks lovely, bet you can't wait for those fruit trees to produce some lovely fruit! Brilliant price too , I do like a bargain!
            You can't beat picking fruit off the tree & eating it!
            I shall look forward to seeing your crop later in the year.
            Your wallflowers will be lovely too, I love the smell of them.

                  Hello Beckie and welcome to GC. :dbgrtmb:

                  Nice to see another Suffolker on here. Like you I keep chickens, grow veg and have a cat too.

                  I'm over on the other side of the county, on light sandy free draining soil.

                  So probably within smelling distance of the sugar beet factory then? :heehee:
