So technically I'm not living in Carrigaline any longer. I debated (with silent mouth movements to myself, usually late at night) starting a whole new blog from scratch but I've put so many years of effort in to this one that I think it a foolish folly to just walk away into the arms of a virgin blog, as tantalising as that sounds. Well this blog has been fairly inactive the last two years but lazy online life means busy physical world life. We bought our first house at the end of last year. It's rural, near the beach and has .6 of an acre garden. It's fabulous and I feel like I am on holiday. The house is a late 1970's bungalow. It's fairly simple in design but has wonderful big arched windows in the living room and a big ass kitchen that I am currently painting in teal. It has a big garage so I have lots of space for seedlings. But the vegetable garden will have to start from scratch. I've learned a lot from my little patches in Carrigaline so my main focus is to build up the fertility and structure of the beds for the next few years. I also want to establish perennials in the garden, particularly fruit trees.
End of announcement
Oh yeah p.s we're further east now, near Aghada and Whitegate. I can walk to Inch beach in 30 mins, yippee.
We,come back on line
ReplyDeleteAfter I found your blog you had become inactive. Delighted you are back writing. Good luck in East Cork. Great for carrots and spuds I hear 😀
Thank you for all your kind comments Maeve. There is an honesty box filled with veg and eggs on our road and I've been eating their new spuds for the last month - unreal! I better have my own next year.
