Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 3027	We have a third of an acre set round our 1845 era cottage.Being a "cottar house" that is a cottager who works part time farming for a landowner and the other weaving linen in the 1800's those who lived here had to grow produce and keep chickens and a pig.We have on our house plans the pigstye..Now demolished using the stones for rockeries.But in that small area that the pigstye was anything can grow.Once I staked sweet peas and the willow stakes took root.everything there grows large and strong. I have defined areas all set in grass.bordering is a field where cattle graze..and sheep over winter..These cattle tell me by their body language when a storm is brewing..this weekend the rain fell like Noahs ark time..poor cattle were upset..sheets of rain meant that needed to shelter..alas the farmer doesn't do trees...were it me I would have shelter for them however brief their lives...trees with spreading branches..but me...I married an electronic engineer..never to be a farmers wife.
