#Derrybeg members can look forward to Tatsoi in their weekly #harvest bag 🌱🌱🌱
Also known as spoon mustard, Tatsoi can be eaten raw in salads, cooked in stir-fries or soups, or used as a spinach substitute. It has been planted out after a gentle start in the sowing tunnel and is flourishing 💚

#Derrybeg's #solarpower rainwater irrigation system has been keeping our thirsty tomatoes hydrated this season:

👉Guttering system
👉5 tanks with covers
👉Solar panel to power pump
👉Dripper supply pipes

Thanks to @kildarecoco.bsky.social for their support in creating this #sustainable system 🌞💧🍅

📢Big shout out to the leaf cutter bees at #Derrybeg Farm🐝🐝
🐝These solitary #bees are fantastic #pollinators🐝 for the farm. The females line the nesting tubes before laying 5-10 eggs per tube. Their eggs will lay dormant until summer 2026.🐝♻

As the season gets into full swing, #Derrybeg's summer veg are making great progress.
See our cucumbers filling out the polytunnel and our leafy lettuce begging to be made into a delicious salad 🥒🥬😋
