Farming

My grampa was a farmer and he was no gentleman. He liked his whiskey neat and his sorghum strong. He would have no truck with wimpy faggoty 'gentleman' farmers, although he might politely regard them before moving on. He wasn't like them beefcake models OD'd on steroids and glycerine for pansy photo shoots. He was lean, wiry, hair black into his 90s, and his Model-T pickup purred like a kitten. Here's to you, grampa. :rose:
 
Covenants on UK Land

Some UK houses and dwellings have historic covenants forbidding certain uses of the land.

My previous house had two prohibitions: Owners must not keep pigs nor make gunpowder. The reason? The original owners of the field on which the house(s) were built were a family that were the largest pig farmers in the area, and they owned one third of the gunpowder mill.

My current house has two different ones: I must not open a tea room nor make bricks. The previous owner of the plot had a tea room 100 yards away and his father owned the local brickfield (but had turned down my plot because the clay wasn't good for brick making).

Usual ones prevent keeping poultry or pigs to avoid upsetting the neighbours. One covenant that was recently overturned in court was "Owners must not commit a nuisance". It was overturned for lack of definition of 'nuisance'. The current owner suggested that having averagely noisy young children might be considered a 'nuisance' and could limit potential purchasers.

Historic covenants had prevented coastal land sales to any French person because of threat of invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte; to any non-British person (at a time when one third of the world was 'British'!) and for use for any Roman Catholic practices - whatever they are.

So if you want to farm in Britain? Check your land deeds first.
 
We have about 30,000 acres that surround us full of food... However, in my small acre and a half we grow, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower Swiss chard, garlic, leeks, bell peppers, banana peppers, jalapeño peppers, Serrano peppers.... We like peppers. Are we farmers?? Fuck no! But we do grow some of our own food.

Oh, and this year have an endless supply of edamame.
 
My baby fig trees are not happy so I am sure I need to transplant elsewhere. I need the assistance of a gentleman farmer.
 
Let me get a list up:

Potatoes
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Courgettes
Beetroot
Broad Beans
Carrots
Parsnips
Asparagus
Fennel
"Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme!"

Plums
Apples
Gooseberries
Blackberries
Raspberries
Strawberries

And a host of honeybee forage plants and shrubs and trees around our eight hives

... I enjoyed that! Thanks! :)

I got gazillions of'em. Including one little three leaf variety with a small white flower and berry no one would dare eat. I've got loads of others with berries I'm not sure of, so I ain't a eatin' 'em. Some variety of Sumac for sure, but I'm not sure if it's the safe one. Tons of Sassafras trees, big and small. Blackberries out the gazoo, or at least the Raccoons' gazoos as evidenced by the purplish piles everywhere.
