Hi, I just wanted to let everybody know about a new service my husband Ian and I have been setting up over the summer months.  We too love growing our own and felt that there was a real lack of education for beginners (although that, thankfully is starting to change).  We started Greenside Up and are offering a variety of services to cater for all budgets - from beginners workshops, talks to allotments & community groups, to advice services and landscaping/raised beds, we're keen to help anybody who wants to give it a go.  Although qualified, we still remember h

Hi,

Step 1 - Buy your sunflower seeds at your local gardening centre (or some people take a chance and plant the edible seeds available in supermarkets, they have the husks removed but most times seem to grow)

Step 2 - Find a sunny place to plant your seeds where people will see the sunflowers when they bloom in August. Along a Bus route, Dart or Luas line, roadway or anywhere they will add colour to our daily lives.

Step 3 - Plant your seeds in sunny places in 2 cms of soil and then water.

We are  having an open day and farm walk at Brown Envelope Seeds on Sunday 31st May at 3pm and we would love you to come.

Here at Brown Envelope Seeds our mission statement is to enable people to grow their own food. So it is great to see the Green Party starting this website. If we can help in any way we will. We grow all our vegetable seeds here on the farm in West Cork and sell it by mail order as well as in shops. Our website has growing and seed saving instructions for many kinds of vegetables. We also have a blog where we post news.
