Farseer do you not breed your own chickens? Or are you just after some new blood?
Also, I don't think I could grow any of the fruit trees you are growing! I guess mulberries I could, and I would like to try those.
Possibly some types of mandarin and lemon, but I would probably have to put them in pots so I could put them under shelter during winter frosts?
One thing I find annoying is that I read things written overseas about cold tolerant varieties of certain plants like that, but they don't seem readily available here. Most of the garden centres must get their stock form large companies that mostly stock other warmer parts of Australia.
Thul I would like to grow bamboo! For some reason it seems to be really expensive here.
Fool-ish that sounds good! I actually grew some capsicums (bell peppers) indoors here. They grew quite well, which surprised me.
I did try to grow some outside but I didn't get them started early enough so by the time they were flowering the weather was already too cold!
