May Flowers; Oíche Bealtaine – old Irish custom ☘️🪴, leaving them out front to protect house from harm or evil. @iarchaeology 🇮🇪

Just left out our May Flowers on the doorstep 🙂 This old Irish custom involves gathering flowers on May Eve (or in some places May Day morning) and leaving them in front of the main threshold. It was believed that this would protect the house from harm or evil

  • Camellia japonica 🌸 Also known as the winter rose, this evergreen shrub flowers in late winter and early spring, adding colour when little else is in bloom.

    Freshly picked for a natural, seasonal touch on cakes and desserts.

Digging new season potatoes @rachelallencooks @ballymaloecookeryschool

New season potatoes are being dug daily here at Ballymaloe Cookery School and delivered up to the Farm Shop by the hardworking gardeners. The pic of @rachelallencooks is from last year when everyone (literally) dug in during the lockdown and helped out anywhere they could.
Thank goodness things are begining to look a little more normal. Swing by the shop and grab a bag of Homegrown Organic Spuds at The Farm Shop. Bring them home and gently boil in salted water, slather with some delicious butter and a sprinkling of @maldonsalt. It couldn’t be more #SimplyDelicious
