Elderflower cordial recipe and tips

By admin On 6 July 2013 · Add Comment
With the Elder [Sambucus nigra] still in full bloom—much later this year than I ever remember before—there is still time to make a batch or two of refreshing elderflower cordial. I first encountered this beautiful drink 15 years ago while on a summer holiday with friends near Inistioge in Co. Kilkenny. Tasting it always reminds me of those gloriously warm, carefree days and splashing around in the River Nore. Our friend and hostess Gina shared her elderflower cordial recipe and I have made it myself every year since. Part 1: Preparation Making elderflower cordial is a fairly straightforward process but as I write (and re-write) I realise that I learn, […]

Roses – rows and rows of them!

By admin On 5 July 2013 · Add Comment
This summer’s profusion of roses is forcing me to appreciate a flower to which I’ve paid very little attention in the past. While visiting a lovely old walled garden recently I admit to having been struck (finally) by the great variety of colour, scent, shape and size of the roses that climbed its walls and arched its gateways. It reminded me of a visit in 2009 to the 128 acre (Sir Thomas &) Lady Dixon Park in Belfast—a rose-lover’s paradise that must be in full bloom by now. [See photographs below] The park is open to the public and will celebrate its annual ‘Rose Week’  from July 15-21. Read Full Article →

How to prune tomato plants

By admin On 3 July 2013 · Add Comment
Vining (indeterminate) tomato plants should be pruned (i) to minimise excess vegetation, (ii) to direct nutrients to the fruit crop and (iii) to keep the plant manageable. [It is not advisable to prune bush (determinate) varieties.] With an un-pruned plant: support is difficult; fruit may be fewer, smaller, difficult to access and may trail on the ground; excess foliage will be more prone to airborne fungal diseases due to reduced air circulation and excess foliage may impede ripening by reducing light levels around the fruit. A tomato plant consists of a root, a stem, leaf branches, cordons with flowers/fruit, a growing tip, suckers and side shoots. It may be supported […]

Slug management

For people who do not want to kill slugs but want to get rid of them and who are ready to put some time into doing so. 1. Awareness Where do slugs hide? Under things. They like to shelter in dark, damp places. Check under pots, stones and pieces of wood and, most importantly, under plug trays—the perfect slug hotels: lots of dark grooves to hide in by day and a short distance to the restaurant for a tasty seedling dinner by night. Check in and under items that you have just brought into your garden. What do slugs like to eat? Most plants that humans like to eat… and […]

Amorphophallus titanum or Titan arum While working in a garden recently, my attention was drawn to a foul smell and, with no evidence of the home-made liquid manures the owner had just spoken of, I suggested that a dead rodent may be lurking behind his terracotta planter. It was then that he showed his Amorphophallus! Originating in Sumatra, it is referred to as a carrion flower and attracts insect pollinators that have a taste for rotting flesh.

Ten Tips on Tending Tomatoes

By admin On 10 June 2013 · Add Comment
To ensure a healthy and abundant harvest, your tomato plants need adequate heat, growing media, nutrients, ventilation and moisture from sowing through to planting. Outlined below are ten tips for tending your tomato plants (with links to further information on watering and training). Observation of the plant at all of its growing stages provides the best opportunity for learning about one of the gardener’s favourite crops. Choose only the best quality plants and ensure that they are planted into their final positions before flowering. Train the plants so that you can tend and harvest them efficiently. Fungal diseases, to which tomato plants are particularly prone, thrive in […]

Six Tips on Watering Tomatoes

By admin On 9 June 2013 · Add Comment
Water tomato plants at ground level to avoid wetting the leaves. Tomatoes are prone to fungal diseases (such as potato blight) which thrive in moist conditions and attack the leaves first. Water in the morning and never in the evening time so that the area around the plants can dry during the day. Plants left to linger over night in damp conditions will get cold and may succumb more easily to fungal diseses. Use tepid water if possible. Keep a barrel or some containers of water in your glasshouse or polytunnel to remove the ‘chill’ and reduce the shock to your plants. There is a tendency to over-water tomatoes. Don’t […]

Ten tomato facts

By admin On 7 June 2013 · Add Comment
Though used as vegetable, a tomato is technically fruit. Oringinating in Mexico, its name comes from the Nahuatl word jitomate meaning ‘fat thing with navel’. Tomatoes are of the same family (Solanaceae or nightshades) as potatoes, chili peppers, bell peppers, aubergines, tobacco, petunia, belladonna (deadly nightshade) and goji berry. It is a perennial plant though it is cultivated as an annual. The leaves of the tomato plant are toxic to humans and mammals. Even slugs tend not to bother with them although they will eat ripe tomatoes. There are ‘indeterminate’ (vining or cordon) varieties and ‘determinate’ (bush) varieties of tomato. Indeterminate plants are the most common and, with good care […]

Make a hole in the ground that is at least as deep as the pot. It does not matter if you bury the plant below the soil line as it will grow roots from any part of the stem that is in contact with the soil. Water the hole. Remove the plant from the pot with root ball intact and lay it in the hole on one end of the supporting string so that the plant roots will eventually grow around the string and anchor it to the ground. Each string should be at least one and a half times the height of the crop bar. Fill in with soil […]

Check for: poor germination poor performance in established plants such as rhubarb wilting Check your soil Dark soils heat up and dry out quickly. Sandy soils also dry out quickly. Clayey soils will harden and crack when too dry. Silty soil will compact without adequate moisture. Intervention Sorry to state the obvious but …water well! Examine your soil.

Irish Wildflower: Scarlet Pimpernel

By admin On 31 May 2013 · Add Comment
Anagallis arvensis Falcaire Fiáin Family: Primulaceae Scarlet Pimpernel is a small red-ish, low-growing, annual plant resembling chickweed. Also known as Poor-man’s Barometer or Shepherd’s Weather Glass it responds to atmospheric pressure by opening its flowers in sunshine and closing them when cloudy. I’ve seen this plant in the east and west of Ireland during the summer months. The flower is probably most notably associated with the 1903 play (and subesquent novel) The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy set during the early years of the French Revolution. The Scarlet Pimpernel is the monniker for the English aristocrat Sir Percy Blakeney who to the public is a dim and foppish dilettante […]

Summer Solstice

By admin On 30 May 2013 · Add Comment
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and occurs (on or around June 21st) when the northern hemisphere is most tilted towards the sun and the nearest point of the earth to the sun is the tropic of Capricorn. Known as Midsummer, it is a period around which plants do a lot of growing so it is important to ensure they are well tended and watered. Growing patterns tend to change after the solstice. Midsummer has been celebrated since pagan times with bonfires and feasting and later became associated with the birth date of Saint John (the Baptist). Bonfire Night in Ireland takes place on June 23rd, […]

Make your own liquid manures

By admin On 27 May 2013 · Add Comment
A good fertile soil will generally provide a plant with all the nutrients it needs to produce a healthy crop. Once they start to flower, howerver, heavy-cropping plants like tomatoes, courgettes and pumpkins will perform better with a regular boost of nutrients applied in the form of a liquid manure. Liquid manures are easy to make and are quickly absorbed through a plant’s roots. The three most important nutrients for growing plants are nitrogen [N], phosphorous [P] and potassium [K]. Each plays an important role in foliar, root and fruit growth respectively. These three along with calcium [Ca], magnesium [Mg] and sulphur [S] are known as the ‘major nutrients’. The […]

Sowing Carrots

By admin On 17 May 2013 · Add Comment
Carrots can be a demanding crop–I’ve heard them described as ‘fussy’–but they are one of our favourite vegetables and a lucrative crop for commercial growers. Carrot seed is sown in situ i.e. directly into the soil rather than being started off in trays or modules. They require warm soil so late May to early June is an optimal time for sowing. Sandy or dark peaty soil heats up earlier than other soil types and allows the plant to focus its energy on growing a big fat root rather than on fighting down through compacted, cold, clayey soil. Carrots like fertile soil but will ‘fork’ if they come in contact with […]

Check your fruit bushes for sawfly

By admin On 17 May 2013 · Add Comment
Sawfly larvae will decimate the foliage on a gooseberry bush and will also affect currant bushes too. They larvae are similar to small caterpillars with yellow and black spotting. It is one of the earliest pests and goes unnoticed as (i) it attacks well in advance of fruiting and (ii) works from the interior of the bush outwards. Inspect the bushes carefully ensuring you don’t damage the flowers. If you find any larvae, pick them off and feed to the birds and inspect the plant regularly thereafter. Depeding on the stage at which the plant  has been affected, it may produce fruit—although the fruit may be stunted. Even if […]

Beware the Ides of May!

By admin On 16 May 2013 · Add Comment
Since I started gardening, one of the few certainties of the Irish weather had been the lack of frost after May 15th. This is a pivotal date around which much gardening activity is planned because after this date we can transplant outdoors (without fear of frost damage) many of those seedlings that have been started off indoors and sown on or around April 1st. Every year since I started gardening I have noted some remarkable weather event and I’m afraid this year’s is the very cold weather on May 16th. With warmer weather forecast over the coming week we will hopefully get a chance to plant out all those seedlings […]

Mind the gap

By admin On 10 May 2013 · Add Comment
This time of year is traditionally referred to as the ‘hungry gap’—two months or so with few crops remaining from the previous year’s harvest and very little to show as yet in the current year. Prolonged winter weather has made this year’s hungry gap a particularly difficult time for our livestock farmers. It is worth looking around now at what we have NOT got and identify if we can prepare any better for this time next year. Having a polytunnel, of course, can ensure a plentiful supply of spinach and salad vegetables from late spring onwards. Beans will keep for years and I still have some small pumpkins from last […]

A warning for pet owners I discovered my dog eating slug pellets in a neighbour’s garden last week. Luckily I noticed and luckily the dog had just eaten a big meal (also at the neighbour’s).

Cabbage varieties can be categorised according to the season in which they are meant to be harvested i.e. spring, winter, autumn cabbages etc. The Savoy variety of winter cabbage is my favourite and now is the time to sow it. Its tender, sweet, crinkled leaves trap air and help to insulate and protect the plant from the winter cold. Sowing Start the cabbages off in a cool indoor place.

Such was the love of scallions in our household when I was a child that no onion planted in our garden ever made it to maturity. I assumed that that regular round onions didn’t grow in Ireland! The definition of a scallion is ambiguous so I generally refer to them as the fresh green hollow foliage—under 12 inches long—with white base above a root characteristic of a (non-bulbing) Welsh onions; perennial bunching onions; a young onion or a young shallot. For a steady supply from late spring to early autumn, they should be sown successionally (from seed or set) from March to mid-July. Scallions like loose, moist but well-drained, fertile soil. […]

Foraging for Wild Garlic

By admin On 6 May 2013 · Add Comment
Wild garlic (Allium ursinum) has been evident for well over a month now in many of Ireland’s deciduous woodlands and while its white (edible) flowerhead might herald to a slightly less delicate flavour, it does make the plant more distinguishable from similar-looking poisonous woodland plants liable to confuse a novice forager. It’s pungent flavour is not as overpowering as it strong smell suggests so it works as well in salads (potato salad in particular) as it does in soups, omelettes and mixed in with mashed potato. Wild garlic pesto (made with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, ground almonds (or pine nuts) and a little salt lets you savour its taste beyond […]

Asparagus time

By admin On 6 May 2013 · Add Comment
Having watched and tended the plants for three years, I finally I got the opportunity to harvest my first ever asparagus crop. Asparagus needs to build up a strong crown root system in its first two to three years so that it can support being harvested in subsequent years. Harvesting in the first and second year will weaken the plant and reduce its future ability to crop. You need to be ‘on-guard’ following the days when you first see the tips peep up out of the soil. When they start growing, they grow fast and if they get too tall (i.e. above 18cm) they loose their tenderness and become woody. […]

EU suspension on use of three neo-nicotinoid pesticides

By admin On 6 May 2013 · Add Comment
Three neo-nicotinoid pesticides will be suspended from use on flowering crops in the EU over the next two years with the hope of saving Europe’s dwindling bee populations. Neo-nicotinoids are nerve agents and the most widely used insecticides in the world. The banned chemicals—imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam may still be used on winter crops and in greenhouses. Numerous scientific studies have linked the use of these chemicals to widespread decline in the population and health of bees and other insects. “This decision is a significant victory for common sense and our beleaguered bee populations,” said Andrew Pendleton of Friends of the Earth.
