Quickcrop is a fantastic site Sarah, thanks for the recommendation. I have to build a second raised bed as I have seriously overplanted with Kale and Spinach in the first and need to thin them out.

No worries once you’re up and running could be good 😀 quickcrop.ie have some good videos too on growing lots of different veg in Ireland. Peas have been one of my favourite things to grow so far. Best of luck with it!

Hi Fiona, I haven't heard of any meet up? I think the group is just for support? As I said to Susan I didn't even think the group was still active! Take care & stay safe!

Thanks Trish, I'll transplant the tomatoes into bigger pots and put them outside.

On the tomatoes, I attempted to grow them a few years ago outside without much success. But if was a very wet summer so if this heat continues it could be a great year for them! Pots with lots of space sounds good, mine were overcrowded and got diseased in the end. Lots of sun & apparently not too generous with the water either if you want sweet tomatoes. Molasses feed when the fruit appear to help make them sweeter again.

That’s great! I have raised beds 3 years now and really enjoy growing a few veg. You can’t beat fresh salad from the garden! I have been looking for some people to share seedlings / seeds etc with locally and who know a bit about veg gardening too. If anyone interested we could arrange a socially distanced plant swap?

Hi Susan, wasn't sure this group was still active. Good luck with your veggies. I have beetroot, carrots & parsley growing from seeds. They are coming on well & I have them outdoors & just water them when I think it's needed! I have one tomato plant that I have in a big pot outdoors. I already have 2 flowers on them so very excited about that! This is my first time to grow vegs in years! So good luck to both of us. Slán Trish.
