Margie: thanks for stopping by! I will, of course, share the relish if it works out. I am also now giving thanks for the fact that I do not have to contend with chipmunks in the garden - things are bad enough as it is :) Tangled Noodle: I guess there can be a fine line between encouraging people through good looking garden displays and making things seem so perfect that they’re a bit out of reach – as you say, if the net effect is enthusiasm, then it’s all good.

The slugs haven't been able to get near my garden because the chipmunks have taken over. Maybe I need a take-charge flag in the garden.

Never mind slugs: our little raised garden of 5 tomato and 1 jalapeño plants is never totally devoid of weeds! Still, if it inspires enthusiasm for home-gardening, then all is good! (BTW, I just checked out Bord Bia's site through the link you provided - I'm going to make those traditional pancakes!)

Jenni: well if <em>you</em> heard it, then it must be true! I just wish those 4 hulking agents would take time out to protect and defend my lil' ol' patch once in a while too :) greg: ah, I have every respect for your latent patriotism! Be assured that the flag lay on the ground only momentarily and I like to think that, even as it did so, it was communicating to the lettuces in a very real way, "don't worry, I got you covered..." OysterCulture: it was an absolutely perfect way to spend the weekend, you would have loved it! aoife mc: rather nice it was indeed, though Mayo (or anywhere else in the country this past weekend for that matter) would have been pretty nice too; Meanwhile, I am eagerly anticipating the forthcoming Oz reports from ICanHasSkippy! zerrin: I hope you get the chance someday to have space to grow some veggies of your own - you would, no doubt, love it Duo Dishes: having a backyard helps of course – maybe some kind soul would let you borrow some of theirs?

I wish I would have a green yard one day. I'm sure you enjoyed that weekend much. I absolutely envy people growing their own veggies and fruits in their yard.

I was sorry to have missed this, I was at a beautiful wedding in Mayo instead which was also very nice. Except that I was food this time. Food for midges. Cripes. Still, twas a great weekend. Bloom sounds rather nice too! Thanks for the comments about Oz, we're really excited but also still a bit gobsmacked that it's actually going to happen! I'll be trying to keep up a daily record of what we're up to so keep an eye on the blog :) The Daily Slug, hee hee.

What a terrific way to while away what looked to be a glorious weekend. Bloom sounds like a lot of fun and I’d be having a heck of a time checking out all of the samples.

I would stumble it, but I find that image of the American Flag in the dirt strangely off putting. Who knew my patriotism was not completely dead! GOBAMA!
