More Scenes From A West Cork Veg Plot.
The lovely weather is making the vegetables grow verdant at the moment.
Spinach growing in a repurposed IBC tank.
Globe Artichoke growing in a old tractor tyre. I grew the veg plant from seed last year and it's a perennial that let's you divide it.
Japanese or winter onions planted last September.
I have earthed up my first early potatoes 🥔. They should be ready in a few weeks for digging up and eating.
More spudatoes.
Perennials filling up a groaning with plants bench or even an old table from in the kitchen.
Celery. I cut this back severely and divided it into more plants. They are growing well and loving it growing in the soil and compost filled repurposed plastic oil tanks.
More Summer onions 🌰 growing in repurposed oil tanks.
Repurposed tanks and baths. I won't need to replace them unlike my wooden plank raised beds.

Your garden looks good, so many promises of harvest, I would like some rain here, it's been weeks, we have started saving water from the house, I can't remember the last time we had such a dry spring.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene. Farmers, smallholders, allotment holders and gardener's are crying out for rain. My blog friend Rachel (Road To Kazakhstan) said the last time it was a dry spring. August was a wash out. I hope not. I'm planning a camping rock festival trip to Cornwall in September. Perhaps I should look at Travelodge for a few nights?
ReplyDeleteJealous. Weeded my 6 chard plants yesterday and scratched out thousands of gorse seedlings. I might plant some sprouting shallots that are languishing in my galley. Your spring garden is looking inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThanks TM. One years seed is 7 years weed. I look forward to seeing more veggie photos on your blog.
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep the greedy bugs off your spinach??
ReplyDeleteSlug pubs and old net curtains will help JayCee. Nothings attacked ours yet.
DeleteLots of growth there. Your garden is wonderful. I'm wondering if my celery will survive the summer heat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. Celery loves water. It's originally a marsh plant. Early morning or at night watering will help.
ReplyDeleteI guess that your enthusiastic plant growing keeps you out of mischief - chasing colleens along boreens banging your bodhrán.
ReplyDeleteYou have got to have hobbies living in the countryside next to the sea YP.
