- A walk around outside vine house to see what's coming up out of the ground & a few planting plans in the garden. Ovenmitt decided to really help warm soil for cherry tree seeds. Dogs run and play about all the while.
Zwartbles Ireland is a small company run from a farm in County Kilkenny in Ireland. We are a regenerative farm which means restoring soils health and regenerating its natural carbon and nutrient cycle with biodiversity of pasture sward with grasses, legumes, forbs and herbs. This also means we farm with nature. Healthy soils are important for healthy environment. So we encourage all life from the microbial to dung beetles, ants, pollinators to flora biodiversity, birds, hare, hedgehogs, rabbits, fox, badger as well as our livestock. This mean we farm in a style of mob grazing and giving fields long rest times between grazings. We have seen a huge increase and return of wildlife including woodcock and snipe in winter months foraging for dung beetle larvae, red squirrel, wood peckers and pine martens. We also have the rare natter bat and previously thought extinct Tawny Mining bees.
We sell, Zwartbles sheep, Zwartbles blankets and yarn made from the sheep, and calendars featuring Inca the World's Smallest Sheepdog and her coworkers. We also sell alpaca yarn spun for our own alpaca. Our yarns are 100 percent natural, grown by our sheep which grazing our small green Irish fields. This wool is naturally sequestered carbon which you can then knit into warm environmental friendly clothing.
She wolf playing gently with Pepper and showing her belly was so sweet.
What a delightful tour through your greenhouse. Thanks for sharing!

Your garden is going to be so beautiful
That was a lovely tour!
Thank you
Absolutely gorgeous. Didn’t you save some seed potatoes last year? You should plant them. I tried growing potatoes out here in the high desert, unsuccessfully. My husband called them cocktail potatoes because they were so small.
Love the animals and the Hellebores , hope to take some Witch Hazel cuttings myself, trying to find the best time of year to do it.
Spring when sap is rising is a good time to take cuttings
@@SuzannaCramptonIreland Thankyou for the advice, I'll give it a go later
