We saw this field mouse in our garden last night, burying something in a pot.
(The noises in the background are the Radio 5 Live commentary on Leinster’s stunning victory over Northampton in the Heineken Cup.)

Harvest time
August 2, 2009 by John
It is that time of the year when everything starts happening at the same time. Beans, lettuces, courgettes, chillis, tomatoes, blackberries and herbs all in full production mode. Helped by the mix of rain and sun we’ve had this summer.
Next to come, the fruits – apples, pears and plums.
I love it!

Heritage potatoes in Ireland
March 27, 2008 by John
I’ve just planted three rows of potatoes in my Mum’s garden.
These are the old varieties I remember my Dad growing:
- Home Guard
- British Queen
- Navan
I’m looking forward to seeing how they grow with minimal interference!

Snowdrops
January 27, 2008 by John
The first snowdrops of the year appeared a couple of days ago. A sure sign that spring is on the way.
It’s been mild so far, hasn’t it?

Burrowing field mice
January 16, 2008 by John
The family of field mice that have been resident in our garden for a couple of years have now started to burrow under the garage, leaving big mounds of soil in on the greenhouse floor.
So, despite them being cute, it’s time to stop them. We have bought two traps, loaded them with Fruit and Nut, and in two nights we’ve caught 4 mice.
I’ll keep a running tally here….
Update: 21/01/2008 Days: 6 Mice caught: 6
None for the last 2 nights. I wonder is that it?
