Hello, GIY Friends!
I've just seen this event and I thought that this might be interesting for you. We can learn with this garden and have a good time.

I made our registration to go and it would be lovely to see you there!
Looking forward to this! thanks for sharing :)
Really enjoyed my GIY meeting tonight, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Here's a few photos of my first attempt at growing this year.
Strawberry plant in hanging basket planted in March hopefully will fruit next summer.
Tumbling tomato plant in hanging basket - several immature tomatoes growing, might fruit within a month hopefully.
'Dwarf' tomato plants in ground -growing great, high hopes for these.
Potatoes in IKEA bag showing a purple flower so almost ready to harvest.
Parsley was easy, courgette grew well but tasteless.
Cucumber, carrots, onions, french beans, lettuce and spinach were a disaster.
Presently struggling with thyme and beetroot. See you all soon.
Awesome!
That all looks great Philip! Great to meet you to and see you at the next one! Enjoy those potatoes in the meantime 😊
I see my attempts at posting photos are as poor as my growing!
Hey everyone! Are people still okay to meet this evening? I need your advice on what to do next with my herbs and spinach 😬
Shall we meet here at Dogpatch and then maybe find a spot in the sunshine somewhere nearby?
Thank you so much see you at 6pm
Hi Philip, that would be great! I've just updated the address so we'll meet here in our office in Dogpatch Labs, you can just ask for me when you arrive, see you soon!
Hi all, would like to attend tonight. Where exactly in City Centre is the meeting? Philip.
Hi there, we are just about to start keeping hens. Any advice on best breeds that will make good pets for kids & good layers? Many thanks in advance :)
Thanks Roisin - will take a look at that article :)
Hi Karen I remember having hens growing up just the ordinary brown ones. Found them to be the friendliest. We had lots of other types too. Here's an old article that might help. Also a quick search of the internet suggested to get a golden type of breed. Apparently they are friendly. https://giy.ie/archive/kids-with-pluck.html
After our meeting last week, with a lot of inspiration, we started growing in our house!
So on Sunday, we planted some seeds and today we woke up with this amazing surprise! They are starting to germinate!!
We've planted Kale, Rocket, Basil, Coriando, Radish, and Lettuce.
Look how beautiful they are!! <3
Impressive!
