All hands on deck in the garden getting the bird netting up over the fruit bushes this morning so that the birds can't steal all the gooseberries. We should have a good crop ripening in the next few weeks.

Great to see the spotlight on Allotments. We are very proud to be able to offer up to 40 Allotments to the Community.
We are, as always, dependant on Core capital spending and infrastructure development funding to improve our space, but remain committed to 'growing' this with and for the Community.

RTE news : 'Gardening is like magic' - call over allotment spaces

A group representing allotment growers have called for a significant increase in the number of plots nationwide, saying some existing facilities are reporting waiting times of over ten years.

Lots going on in the garden today. Tomato seedlings and celery seedlings potted on. Salad leaves (lettuce, mizuna, moutarde rouge, spring onions, spinach, rocket) planted out in some of the beds. Broad beans planted out. And a robin sitting on eggs on top of a shelf in the potting tunnel.

Seedlings getting ready to go in the ground. These are about 2 weeks old, keeping warm on our heated bench until they're ready to go out into the beds in the tunnels. Hopefully it stops raining and the ground dries up before then!

An empty wasp nest we found in one of the tunnels today. Isn't it beautiful. Every spring new queen wasps come out of hibernation and find a place to build one of these to lay their eggs in and build a new colony.
