RTE Supergarden competition
I was asked by the organisers of the Supergarden competition on RTE to mention that they are now looking for applications for their new series. So here is the relevant info as sent to me:
“RTE’s Super Garden are currently looking for amateur designers, student designers and start-up landscape designers to apply for our 2012 series. We are always on the look out for unique ideas so welcome all kinds of applications.
This is a great opportunity for exposure for the selected designers as well as an opportunity to compete for the winning design to be featured at the Bloom Festival in Dublin.
We are looking for applicants who are passionate about gardening, have creative flair and the ability to deliver their garden design to a deadline/budget.
If you could help us spread the word on this it would be greatly appreciated. It could be a great opportunity for someone you know to take on an exciting challenge. I have attached a flyer that you can email on and also an application form if anyone does express an interest.
I am available to answer any questions that you or any interested parties may have, my contact details are 01-8641444 or email supergarden@vipmg.tv. Closing date for application is first week of February.
Kind regards,
Andy Malone”

The spuds are sown to start the New Year
Well, after a quiet(ish) time in January we have started sowing for the 2012 season. The first major sowing job of the year is the tunnel potatoes – orlas are now in the ground and on their way.
Once the potatoes are sown, it is only a matter of a week or two before the major tray sowing and preparation starts.
Just enough time to get the fruit garden tidied up and manured…

‘cheffactor.ie’ competition – votes needed!
A few things came together today which led me to enter a competition for a cookery course in Ballymaloe that I would dearly love to win… I have the ingredients – I would love to train to make the most of them…
SO – having entered a photo of me, Fionn and a dish I prepared, I now need as many people as possible to vote for me, by logging on to www.cheffactor.ie – and voting. If you notice that the photo is a little offside it’s because it was taken by Ryan (Fionn’s 4 year old twin brother)… we had to get a high angle and he was up for the challenge! I think he did a great job…
Everything in the photo was grown & homemade here – the bread, the ingredients for the tart (garlic, leek, spinach, eggs), the tomato chutney, the rocket, the vinegarette, the flowers – even the chopping board was made by John… So – please give your support and vote for Elaine’s leek, spinach and feta tart on www.cheffactor.ie.
I will make cake for you when I get trained up! THANK YOU!!!
