On 'Ireland AM' (TV3) with Aidan Cooney sowing pea seeds.
Since last spring, (thanks to my Fingal Green friends who contributed towards the cost of a new greenhouse for my 50th birthday!), I now have a great sowing and potting shed as well. The shelves on each side of the greenhouse are at just the right height to support a plank between them, which I use as a work top for sowing seed and potting up plants. I can work away there blissfully sheltered from the April showers.
I an sowing the bulk of the seed varieties around now, but in early June, I will be back to do a later sowing of runner bean, lettuce, oriental greens, basil, coriander, beetroot etc. The benefits of a greenhouse or polytunnel are many, but extending the season and growing more tender crops are benefits to which I look forward.
My friend Lorcan kindly called in with his camera the other day while I was sowing some seeds. The following video clip saves me saying much more on the subject for the moment.

naturally like your website however you have to
test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to
tell the reality however I’ll definitely come back again.

Sorry for the bother, Maria. Noted!
