the red shed: Ice

http://redsheddublin.blogspot.com/2015/01/ice.html

Growing food in north dublin. Thursday, January 1, 2015. I did get some work done; the three smallest beds weeded and cleared, old rhubarb leaves and asparagus fronds chucked on the compost mountain and the blueberry bushes pruned of crossing and leggy branches. More to do but there is no real rush - a good few weeks of winter lie ahead before the manic spring rush begins again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

the red shed: January 2014

http://redsheddublin.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Growing food in north dublin. Friday, January 31, 2014. I have a cold, and I. M blaming it on the weather. Not because of the weather itself, but because it has conspired to keep me from the allotment. I did a quick U-turn and headed out to the plot, along the recently-flooded sea road over bumps of seaweed and debris. The tides are very high at the moment and Dublin has tidal flood warnings in place all week. Still, its not all doom and gloom. It. S bright now until. A flying visit after work, if I leav...

the red shed: April 2014

http://redsheddublin.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Growing food in north dublin. Friday, April 18, 2014. Great Friday would be more accurate - a peach of a day, with clear blue skies, a gentle breeze and warm sunshine. My sister and I had brunch in the back yard for the first time - I gave it a spring clean earlier in the week so it's now a civilised place to sit once more. Pots in the back yard. Tulips and daffodils from the allotment. Out then to Donabate, where everyone was out and about, working on their plots, digging and raking and sowing like mad.

the red shed: Blink.

http://redsheddublin.blogspot.com/2015/03/blink.html

Growing food in north dublin. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Every time I visit, something has moved on - back in late January it was the first snowdrop emerging from the thicket, last weekend it was tulips my parents brought home from Amsterdam last autumn finally showing their faces above ground. In the midst of all this new growth - some death to balance it out. Next week is St Patrick's Day - time to truly announce the start of the new season with the ceremonial planting of my early spuds. Brassicas, Sun...

the red shed: July 2014

http://redsheddublin.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Growing food in north dublin. Friday, July 25, 2014. July please, I'm on my knees, the smell of your fresh cut grass. A month has floated by since my last post, in a haze of sun and hoovering and coding and heat and claustrophobic offices and movies and torrential downpours and illustrator icons and forked lightning on the motorway and broken fridge-freezers. July has been a brilliant, dramatic, tiring, life-changing month. The other evening, I escaped work and brought a pan, some rashers and bread out t...

Grassroots support | Farm Girl In Training

https://suburbancreampuff.wordpress.com/2014/02/04/grassroots-support

Farm Girl In Training. Balancing my stilettos with my Muckboots. February 4, 2014. Recently, a dear friend and several people she knows began a grassroots effort to shut down a local puppy mill. It all started with pictures posted on Facebook at the beginning of January. Within a month, the dogs were seized and the “owner” (hesitate to use that word) has been charged. I did my part by helping get the word out about these dogs. Now, I’m trying to do my part again. In fact, they were encouraged; nearly 40%...

Farm Girl In Training. Balancing my stilettos with my Muckboots. Getting my farm geek on. March 27, 2014. It’s been far too long since I’ve updated this thing. It’s been far too long since we’ve actually done anything of consequence at the farm, so I guess this is a touche moment. Tonight, I had the pleasure of getting my farm geek on. I’m sure I’ve written about it here before, but I’ve read, highlighted, annotated, and studied this book:. Said highlighted, annotated, and well-loved book. I’m star...

Indefinite hiatus | Farm Girl In Training

https://suburbancreampuff.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/indefinite-hiatus

Farm Girl In Training. Balancing my stilettos with my Muckboots. June 7, 2014. Things on this end of the blog are busy: hubby’s working two jobs, I’m teaching summer courses, and our newly inducted toddler is “ow”-ing and “ock-a-oodle-oo”-ing her way through life. Right now, she’s fighting resuming the nap she started in the car (lucky me). So, what does this have to do with the blog? I’ll leave you with our daughter’s new horse, just after she arrived at the farm last month. Meet Athena:. You are commen...
