We at Croft 22, Kirkibost, have been residents for nearly 2 years but this year’s growing season was our first on Bernera. In spite of being without buildings or polycrubs, we had decided to experiment with crops and varieties of vegetables. With no anecdotal or other information to hand, we had no idea what would work in the area we were growing in. 

Thanks so much for all the fantastic feedback we have had on our last post about our big plans.

In the meantime, it seems that the climate emergency is accelerating and we are all watching with increasing concern as the Arctic, Amazon, Alaska and Siberia are burning out of control, adding even more pressure to our planet,

A small but growing number of you are already aware but apologies to those we have not updated recently, if this comes out of the blue.

We are now proud crofters.

Our 12.5 acre Croft is on the Isle of Great Bernera, Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. (About 12 hours By car/train/bus/ferry from Birmingham, if you don’t stop ?)
