Permaculture Planting at Bealtaine Cottage
10 Feb
As with all permaculture gardening, it would be simple and easy.
Preparation of the permaculture is easy and takes a relatively short amount of time.

Magical Driftwood and Happy Cats
As the weekend draws in, the clock tells me it’s time to make dinner and settle in for the evening…it’s Friday evening!
The day has been wet and grey and much of my work has taken place in and around the cottage.
Days like today are welcome though, as it allows a little bit of a slow-down and a time for reflection and making plans.
I have decided to tile the kitchen floor, using broken tiles from the local tile shop, Carrick Tiles.
It is a long task, but the best approach is to a little each day and try not to work too long, as this can inhibit the desire to return to the task the following day!
Missy has kept warm beside the stove. This is the longest period of time without a visit to the vet.
It appears that keeping really warm by the stove eases her symptoms.
Doesn’t she look well?
Some friends visited last weekend and Nick brought me this lovely mirror he made using driftwood. There is something so beautiful about driftwood.
Even the scent of this wood evokes the ocean.
It is magical to live this close to the Atlantic Ocean…about a 45 minute drive to Rosses Point.
I’m happy to tell you all that the “We Will Not Comply” petition now has over 4,200 signatures…not bad for a mere 8 days. If you would like to add your name then here’s the link…

Have seaweed envy! How brilliant to have it so handy.

And great to meet such wonderful friends through the blog!
However, if you get a chance to visit the sea, then collect some seaweed and steep it in a big bucket for all summer-long seaweed fertilizer concentrate…simply add a cupful to a watering can…the next best thing!

Hello Colette,
What a great combination, seaweed and cardboard. I love cardboard too. It really does the trick in killing weeds. The pictures are wonderful and so is the video. I can’t wait to see the trees in the garden. And herbs there too, what herbs are you planning to plant.
My best to you and your delightful animal friends.

This land supports any number of herbs…up to 50 already growing here in both wild and cultivated states. There are choices to be made…
I have had another 2 trees donated, so it’s about to become another orchard!

I so love your blog. I was so surprised to see so much green in your garden! While we had green grass prior to the snowstorm of Friday late we do not have all of those wonderful growing plants here in New York State. But I trust they will be coming soon… bj

Ireland is magical for the shades of green all year round…it’s the Gulf Stream that keeps the land so frost free!
Be prepared for Spring moving in fast…this is the pattern set in recent years.

Thank you for the beautiful tour of your garden. Stunning even in the month of February!
You have a lovely voice, Colette. Though I expect you’ve been told that dozens of times.

Thank you for the great feedback…I do enjoy showing people around the gardens.

It is a treat to read and also visual to eyes. We at http://himalayanfarmproject.com/ really appreciate your efforts. We do use card boards but have no access to sea weeds. Love and hugs all the way,
