Hi,
i followed on the net CanadaMike and here i'm. (Thanks to point me there.)
i'm a 32 old teacher. I work with 7 to 12 years old pupils.
i'm in natural and organic growing. I like to grow strange things but most of our garden job is for meals.
Me and my wife are trying to produce most of our family needs.
bread, vegetables, milk and yaourt, honey etc...
sorry for my english.

Your English is just fine. Welcome to Homegrown, Noir!
So, you grow vegetables, and keep bees? And some sort of milk producer? How much land are you working with? People here are on anywhere from backyard/container to, I think, over 100 acres. (Not sure which of us has that much, but I think some of the folks here have pretty good sized area.)

I've only a small garden.1000m² but every single cm is full. i'm not owner of the place.  As Mike said i'm growing in permaculture way so many stages. I've actually a big hive (Dadant 12), 5 more 'll be added in february. milk is just the next project. actually we buy organic milk straight from cows ;D for our cooking. merci Mike pour ton accueil. Tu utilises le français?, je n'ai pas eu le temps de voir s'il y a beaucoup de francophones... Here is a link pointing to my grow diary on a french board. If you don't understand french, at least you can see pictures  tomodori.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3460 |

Bonjour and welcome. As canadamike can tell you, my french is no where as good as your english, but I am sure that we can communicate well enough. (Actually can read more french than speak or write it. So much for English Canadian schooling.) Should you be interested in tomato seeds, we may be the place to start.
Anyway, again welcome and we hope that you will enjoy and contribute to our growing group.
Cheers,
Val (grungy) and Dan (grunt)

Thanks for your words.
@ Grungy, en t'inscrivant sur un forum français, tu pourras mettre ton français à l'épreuve. (thanks for your proposal, i don't need tomato's seeds)
@ Stevil, yes, i put the cutting in april and took picture in february, so less than one year.
He is actually huge. i always cut some leaves for soup but it grows..and grows...

Salut, Je suis une anglaphone de Canada (tres mauvais pour Ottawa et ma francais est plus mauvais...) mais bienvenue! Evidence of bad french above:
The point is that your english is great so and certainly better than my french.
I am very interested in many permaculture ideas and use an urban plot and any other borrowed space to grow a surprising amount of our family's needs though by no means all of it.
Welcome, I look foward to your posts.
