The training day a couple of weeks ago was simply fab!! I had such an enjoyable day out!

The venue, garden, settings, and food were amazing. We learned so much from various speakers including Jacki , Brittany Sarah and Taylor

It was brilliant to put real faces to names I follow on socials, and to get the chance swap stories, ideas, seeds and plants!

The cherry on the cake was getting to pose alongside Ann for Alicia's featured story in the .

Massive thanks to the committee of for organising such an amazing day in such an inspiring and beautiful location!💚🌱❤️‍🔥✨️💐

💞💗Tulips💗💞
I didn't grow many tulips or spring flowers generally this year. I decided a later start in the season would allow for more reliable planning with Irish weather 🌧🌨🌪
I couldn't resist growing a few though and they are beautiful! Maybe I'll be tempted to grow more next year....💚🌱✨️

Delighted to see so many ladybirds today while trying to cut back perennials and clear beds from w**ds and self seeders like the feverfew in the photo!
Fine line between wanting to leave the flower beds for insects over the winter and wanting to cut them back and cover with silage cover to reduce the workload at this time of year!
Insects definitely won this time, much more work to do!!🤪🐞💚🌱✨️

The polytunnel - my gold at the end of the rainbow!!✨️🌈🌱

Really delighted the polytunnel is still standing after the last couple of days weather!! 💪

Amazing to have it on days like today when you simply wouldn't go out or get anything done without it!🌪🌧🌨⛈️

Fingers crossed better weather is on the way very soon!

✨️Galway grown dried flowers!🌱💐✨️

I love them for so many reasons, but here are a few..
💚They will last for years!! A uniquely crafted gift for someone to enjoy and admire much longer than possible with fresh flowers.
💚They are so full of texture and variety, different shapes, sizes, and colours. A reminder of the wonder of nature!
💚They are a sustainable option for gifting flowers, grown in Galway from seed, no chemicals, pesticides, dyes or plastic are used, they are purely as nature intended!

If you'd like to gift some, it's now possible to pick them up in Athenry!❤️💫👌

Lots of signs that Spring is on the way on a sunny day in Galway!

Also signs that the battle with the rabbits is back on for another year!! 🐰😬

Lots of fences to med, windbreak to put up, beds to w**d and cut back and clear ready for the emergence of perennial plants!

Will aim to have this work done for March before planting out any of my new seedlings!🌱✨️

There isn't really an off season!!😵‍💫💚😀

Window sills across Ireland are currently being filled with seeds!💚
I started sowing seeds last weekend and some are germinating already!🌱

This year I presoaked the ranunculus in a sink, and have put into 9cm pots to presprout and grow on before planting out when they have a good root system and lots of lush green leaves.

My seed sowing technique is very basic but works very well! I start seeds in trays and prick out and plant on when large enough to handle!

I try and grow according to two rules:
1. Grow seeds that are perennial- so that if I don't make good use of the flowers the pollinators can enjoy and I can plan again for following season!
2. Grow seeds which can be used fresh or dried! So if a glut of flowers have appeared and I cant use them fresh, I can dry them and get an opportunity to use them at a later date!

What rules or thoughts guide tour decisions when seed sowing??
