Possible problems with Africa.

Hey its been a while since ive posted. The reason is that ive been very busy doing research on various seeds and plants that could grow in November in London. It's getting pretty cold here, so conditions for growing ice and snow are getting better and better daily. Not ready to plant any seeds yet, though.

I guess that African guy in Sweden saw what I was writing, though, because when I got back to my farmhouse in London, I saw this message in my inbox:

Helo.

My name Ngago Onababambabwe. I am from Brittish-Botswana Farming Co-operation Collaborative Incorporate. I have receive news of your plan to renew farming Initiative in London through our emissary Gregor DuChair. We would like to offer you some price of Seeds for planting season.

Please be remindful that of the Botswana Technologi-Agriculture Act of 2005, all persons with connections in London must register with our programme in order to begin planting.

öäåöäåöäåöäåäöåäöåööåäöäåäöå

Second post yall!! I am writing this from Sweden, in a town called Umeå. My train ride here was a 'sleeper' train from Stockholm. A sleeper train is a train that allows u to hear up to 5 people snoring at once. they speak Swedish here. Swedish is an archaic language only spoken by a few hundred people in remote agrarian towns such as Umeå and Stockholm. I'm doing research here for my London farming endeavor. Seems 2 me like the Swedish farming season is really kicking into high gear. I came to this remote part of Sweden because I heard snow and ice grow pretty well here. Might try to harvest some when I get back to London, but I'm a little worried the weather won't be good enough. Dead grass and conifers ( a special type of tree seen in ski resort advertisements and sometimes in Norway) also seem to be hugely popular crops here. There's also a river running through the town. Not sure if water counts as a crop though. I need to do more research b4 i really start blogging about farming for real, i guess.

Since there is an African man staring at what I write and tapping his foot impatiently, i should go now.

First Post

Hey yall. Started this blog 2 show yall about my authentic "farming experience" in london. Ive been in the city for almost 7 weeks now, and I still havent found any suitable places to grow any crops for the winter. In the country side there have been some plum trees and other berry plants. I even saw palm trees in Dover. But theres lots of concrete in the city. I've looked around and all I can find is either asphalt or cobblestone or water (Thames river). Do any of U know if any of these surfaces suitable for growing any plants?

Poll: Is London a good place to start a farm? What should I plant? Does tea grow in London? When should I plant things?

I know nothing about farming so any help would be appreciated.
