Urban Food Gardening

I'm an urban farmer - have been for the past 13 years. I am not self sufficient, but I grow a lot of my own veg out the back in a fairly tiny space. This blog is the story of how I do it, what grows, and how I use it. Urban farming/city gardening is great for lost of reasons - not least the delicious and healthy food that you can produce for yourself & your friends & neighbours. If only a few people reading this blog are inspired to trade flowers or grass for vegetables, then I'll be happy.

Spring planner

An excellent guide to when to plant stuff - Print it out, fill out the dates for your area, and you will know when to plant what.

You need to know the last frost for your area- Just spoke with Met Eireann, and except for 2001, when it was May 7th, mid April seems to be a good bet - for Mullingar. I think it's related to the full moon - full moons in 2009 are April 9th, and May 9th - I'm going to take a chance on April 9th, and work from there.

At 10:47 p.m., Cheese said...: Hmm, I wonder will the last frost be earlier here in Dublin. All the more reason to get the skates on with plans for the Spring. I think it's definitely a good idea to get things down on paper to know where you're at.
