The tunnel allows us to protect plants from the worst of the winter. These plants give earlier crops than leaving them outside: blueberries, cranberries and strawberries. The protection is also good for cuttings taken from our plants last autumn, allowing them to become established before giving them away or planting them out into our garden.

We can also sow directly into the polytunnel raised beds. So far we are growing: scallion/spring onion, radish, turnip, spinach and beetroot. The carrots 🥕 🥕 🥕 are sown, but not showing yet. As carrot are slow to show, we usually sow radish directly above the line of carrots. The radish germinate, grow and mark the carrot line before the carrots are established. It's easy to give up hope while waiting 😄

A combination of polytunnel and heat mats/propagators allows us to sow/germinate seeds early for planting out elsewhere (tunnel or garden).
So far these seedlings have survived: Beetroot, Swiss Chard, Red basil, Parsley, Scallions/spring onions, lettuce, tomato 'Roma' and cauliflowers.
They don't look too inspiring yet, but it's early days 🙂

Polytunnels and any protected space lengthen the growing season. This week we will look at what the polytunnel is doing for us in April.
Benefit ONE: We can crop produce earlier than waiting for suitable planting conditions outside:
Early potatoes in bags, broad beans, mangetout peas, cabbage and lettuce.
We can't protect them from everything though - the slugs have tasted our cabbages. Using a hanging basket for lettuce just allows more growing space elsewhere.

Wishing everyone a joyful Easter.
A time full of hope and expectation.
A feeling familiar to all gardeners on seed sowing. 🙂

The herbs in tyres put in last year have survived the winter. Perennials make life easier!🙂

Signs of early growth are encouraging, wherever they appear in the garden. These are some of the ornamental plants.

30/03/2026

The two potato beds are ready for planting. One for second earlies (Charlotte) and one for maincrop. The plastic cover will warm the soil until planting. A little late this year, but the ground was too wet for earlier preparation.

The first year we moved here I planted daffs along the base of our hedge line. Hard work with the bank and tree roots. The blisters were bad 😕 but it was worth it. 8 years later the daffs add even more colour to the blackthorn blossom and native primroses.

A determined gardener, planting onion seedlings and sowing leeks in the rain. 800 seedlings later, he's very wet! The bed was re-covered with net for protection from birds, cats etc. Now they just get on growing.

Last Thursday we also planted strawberries in vegbed 4a, but first we lifted a foxglove to transplant elsewhere in the garden.
The bed was dressed with ash to dry and feed the soil, topped with some ex mushroom compost and planted with runners from elsewhere in the garden. After watering the soil was covered with various metal mesh grids to prevent them being scratched out by animals. The runners were very small: each was marked by a painted wooden peg so we could spot the places the plants went in 😀. Now it's up to them! 🍓🍓

21/03/2026

We took the opportunity of the best day weather wise this year to make progress on veg and fruit beds. The soil in veg bed 1 was loosened with the broad fork, readying it for the onion seedlings growing on in the polytunnel. It was netted to prevent animals from scratching in it. The currant bed was weeded. Other beds were worked - more of that will be shared next week!

Growing with Care....

The benefits of being outdoors, physical exercise, listening to the birds, enjoying the wildlife and flowers are well documented. Drumhilla Garden is open to those who would like to take time to appreciate these benefits and also to those who want to learn or share their skills in raising fruit and vegetables, then take the produce, cook it and eat good, fresh food. If you would like to come along to see what happens here, just get in touch with John or Jan and arrange a visit. We are open on Saturdays, by appointment, between 10 and 3. Family groups welcome.

On our half acre site there are raised fruit and veg beds, a poly-tunnel and a very new orchard with a wildflower meadow. We also have a wildlife pond. We have some chickens on site and hope to add ducks and bee hives in the future. We are enthusiasts of water harvesting, solar panels, conservation and living lightly in God’s creation. If you would like to be involved in creating and maintaining a beautiful and fruitful spot on the borders between Donegal, Leitrim and Fermanagh, please get in touch. Add your skills to the mix. See what we can achieve between us.
