We live in Hackney- urban wasteland, 'up and coming', Olympic village?. Not, I imagine, top of the list for urban garden farms but we wanted to give it a go.
We're not eco warriors. We ride bikes AND drive a car. But we want to bring up our kids (Ruby aged 5 and one on the way) knowing that:-
1) vegetables come from the ground,
2) if you want to eat bacon you have to kill a pig, and
3) eggs come from the backside of a chicken.
We won't be attempting number 2 in our garden but felt 1 was relatively easy and thought we'd give 3 a go as well. After wiping the poo from our shoes we might have some fun on the way.
The aim here is to share our ups and downs and... well that's it really.
thanks

I live in Winfield, Missouri USA. I just started blogging today. Thought I would give you a comment. About a year ago I bought 150 baby friers and 50 hens ( you know the little ones ). I started out with them in my garage then built a pen for them. We have coons in our area that love chickens. I finally separated the roosters from the hens. One night the roosters got to close to the wire sides. Results next morning one dead one and one with only one leg. As these things started to grow to the size to kill it was a mess. If you want to hear the rest of my thrilling story you can let me know. It gets rather interesting.
