You could make enough fabric to last a lifetime with your collection of beasts.

I've missed this too, feel a little less isolated already! Suddenly my full windowsills and growhouses being full of trays of showings and growings feels normal! Quick crops here are salad leaves, spring onions and pea shoots. Sorrel is ace, it's been great all over winter and will keeps going. Don't forget the flowers! Got a feeling we're going to need the flowers more than ever this year

My spinach isn't coming up and not many of the peas did either. Not sure why. The lettuce came up all right.

I'm thinking a horse leather coat, and a nifty pair of slippers from the guinea pigs?

I find my biggest issues with spinach are either not enough water, or seed that's been stored warm and therefore lost viability

a decent size mutt will make a waistcoat front and cats make hats( full pelt with face and paws on, fold it to shape and dry it on the head)

I'm thinking you do like to live dangerously.

Good idea. There is plenty of wild produce for them.
