This week we harvested the first of our potatoes. Some of you may remember we tried an experiments this year comparing regular potatoes that had started sprouting with proper seed potatoes. The results are in!

Rebecca also got the tomatoes in the beds. Some of the seedlings did not enjoy the pots they were potted up into and have barely grown in the last couple of months. We planted them out and we’ll see what happens. We have a lot of tomato plants this year so fingers crossed for a good harvest.

Welcome to Living in the Loire, we are a family in rural France, renovating previously poorly converted barns.

We aim to do most of the work ourselves, being as frugal and as eco as possible. We are learning on the job and we hope to share the skills we pick up along the way.

When possible we will take you on a tour of the region (the garden of France) sharing with you the numerous chateaux, towns and markets.

As well as the house we will be transforming the garden, bringing part of it back to its previous use as a potager. This is our dream and one of the main reasons of leaving the city to move to the countryside in France.

Join us on our journey!
