Hello from Yaya

[Yaya]

Hi. Alex Yaya.
Just moved to a very cold Ireland from Africa.
I am trying to get a handle on growing food in this climate and be more self sufficient in a small back yard scenario, while renting.
Always grown my own veg and kept animals for meat, chickens for eggs etc. For now i just have some sad looking herbs in pots on my window ledge....but looking to expand. This will probably be in spring as things warm up. Hating the extreme cold

Thanks guys for your replies. Have been busy.....
I guess I will get used to it. Eventually. From south Africa.
While the climate is lovely,there are too many other things wrong with that place. Change is good and you are right. Treat everything as an adventure

It takes a while to get used to a change in climate. I think you will love it there though- so lush and green!

Welcome from northeast Texas! What led you to leave Africa for Ireland? And what part of Africa are you from? I hope you learn how to garden in Ireland, there is probably some heat loving, long season crops you won't be able to grow, but maybe there are cool weather crops that didn't do well in Africa that you can grow now. A new country! You are on an adventure!
