Thirty Birds

The beautiful #PacificBlue 💙 Another secluded walk today with family - this time to #RucklePark The #HealingHeat of the sun ☀️ giving me the briefest of reprieves from the #anxiety of all the uncertainty, of being thousands of miles from home; from my puppy and my pussycat. ...and from the knowledge that so many folks at this very moment are facing sooooo much more awful situations. #AGoodCry later and I'm resolving to try harder to send out #PositiveVibesOnly #StaySafe out there lovelies, and #AskForHelp if you need it 💚💚💚 https://ift.tt/33lbhRK

Today was a productive day off, tackling a few wee jobs including transplanting #Ribwort #Plantain | Slánlus | Plantago lanceolata seedlings that have been popping up in the gravel of our rental house into key spots in our burgeoning #forestgarden. #RibwortPlantain is an incredible multifunctional and #Perennial herb and a #permaculture powerhouse! It's antibacterial, an astringent, an expectorant, a laxative (in larger quantities) it is also "a safe and effective treatment for bleeding; quickly staunches blood flow and encourages the repair of damaged tissue". It's younger leaves are edible, it's a source of natural dyes, it's a fabulous feed for livestock and domestic animals. It can be used as a tea, it's a #PioneerSpecies and of course it's adored by #Pollinators and is a great bolster for #biodiversity.

A rare moment of #Still and #Bright in the recent brutal weather. #Autumn is here already. Thinking back on a year when our burgeoning #garden has really begun to take shape. We've planted over three thousand #Trees #Shrubs #Whips and #Slips in 2 years. On track to reach #TenThousandTrees 💚 🌳 💚 🌲 💚 Soon, it'll be #BareRootSeason again! Let the #Planting commence! #permaculture #donegal #Dunlewey #horticulture #PlantTrees #climateaction #plantingchange #permacultureinireland #ireland https://ift.tt/32Cs694

9 years ago I bought this beautiful #Monstera when I still lived in #Brighton - when I bought him he was a little over 30cm and in a teeny-weeny plastic pot. He now lives here with us, since we moved back to Donegal and after his recent repotting, he stands just shy of 2m! He has been christened "Seth" by my husband 😅 We get lots of new leaves from him and he is such a joy to behold... we've also just potted-up his first baby (as yet unnamed - open to suggestions, though!) #LoveYourHouseplants #housplants #cheeseplant #Seth #interiors #simplehome #ireland #irishdesign #mcnutt #horticulture #greentherapy https://ift.tt/2HZGcJT

Limerick. I find that personslly it's good to plug back into education as often as possible.. there's so much to learn and fantastic networks in our wee country to share knowledge with one another. https://ift.tt/2RvPzEw

Who Gots Da Blight?? (Hint - We Gots Da Blight 😔) Humid, muggy summers = fungal infections... despite all being "highly blight resistant" varieties! We managed to save our crop before it got too bad, thankfully! #organic #lessonslearned #alwayslearning #womenwhofarm #growingyourown #potatoblight #spuds #permacultureinireland #permaculture https://ift.tt/2OPVSkT
