Kerry Kenmare and District Garden Club Thursday, 5th February was the Club’s f irst meeting af ter the winter break and we spent a wonderf ul evening in the company of Klaus Laitenberger. He is an organic vegetable grower par excellence and was only too happy to pass on to us his tips for successf ul growing. Soil is a living organism and needs f eeding with good compost, mulch and/or seaweed. Growing one’s own organic vegetables provides not only good food for us to eat but gardening in itself is very therapeutic in many ways and creates happiness. We all know that f eeling of being out in the garden and forgetting one’s woes. Klaus pointed out the common mistakes that are made i.e. sowing and planting too early, planting too close together and believing a lot of the myths about gardening such as adding sand to a clay soil to lighten it (whereas it does the opposite), sowing parsnips in February (which is far too early) and plants getting sunburnt (which is a f allacy). We all lef t the meeting f ull of enthusiasm and ready to plant up a storm!! Our next meeting will be on Thursday, 5th March at 7.30 p.m. at Gateway and we are f ortunate to have Frances McDonald f rom the Bay Garden in Enniscorthy speaking about herbaceous plants.
