I suppose it's nearly summer.
Posts have been few and far between recently for a number of reasons.
We started back at Kinvara Farmers' Market two weeks ago. It was a gorgeous sunny day and I'm glad to say loads of people came. Last week didn't give us such fine weather all the time, but we had some fantastic music to entertain us.
Last Sunday saw us at the Clare Garden Festival too. It was the second year it had taken place and Carmen did a good job organizing it again. More great weather until the thunder shower at 4 o'clock. We had the best selection of tomatoes and probably the furthest on. Sold well.
Weekend after next, we go to The Rare & Special Plants Fair at Kilruddery in Wicklow. We didn't do the last two of these because of the high winds experienced at the previous two venues. It's discouraging to have all your work trashed by a combination of the elements and a lack of consideration on the part of the organisers.
Anyway, we'll be there on Sunday 11th May.
We're running out of space in our tunnels. Since the chillies and tomatoes were potted on, space has been hard to find. Tomatoes everywhere and outside, sweetpeas. Hopefully, they'll go well at Kilruddery, but until they do, they're taking up space.
This year we have three of the world's hottest chillies: The Carolina Reaper from 2013, The Trinidad Scorpion from the year before and the Naga Viper from 2011. They're all doing well and we expect good things from them. (Photos to follow)
