Located in the rural idyll of Ratho, The Field is shared between three fine folk: Davey, Ramey and myself. Davey and Ramey are seasoned gardeners, which is good for me as I hope to soak up their gardening knowledge like a sponge.
At the bottom of The Field, is a lovely burn (stream for you non-Scots) which we hope to tidy up and behind us, pigs, chickens and a spot for some bee hives.

Below are my hand-drawn plans for what we hope to do with the whole area. I imagine that things will change depending on what is successful & what is not. The parts I have highlighted in bright red are the areas that will be exclusive mine.
