Lughnasadh Blessings! I think you misheard me. Lugh is not connected with the Olympic Games - his games were started before the Olympic games, that's how old they are and still going on to some extent. xx Glad you enjoyed the dogs xx

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden lol no I didn't explain it well. You have lovely dogs, they are fun to watch x

He must have been looking down! Broc is a master of all doggy games😂 Happy Lughnasadh xx

If only..and children...and wild animals...and the sea and rivers...and everyone really. If only xx

Hello New Subscriber and welcome. You can also use oat straw as it helps with relaxation and unwinding and de-stressing. Nourishes the nervous system. x

Thanks hairy housen! x Me too!

Have a try! xx

I do love Border Collies - my brother has 3 and they love to play. Jazz is half collie half lab. The green oats are the oats before they ripen. Squeeze the grain and a milky sap comes out. Oats are a great nervine tonic and of course they are good to eat. Make tea with the straw or put it under the chickens!😃 You did well with your raspberries. Very poor show here, I think they are on their last legs. Hope the mosquitos don't get you.

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I buy oat straw for my relaxing tea. Growing a small patch is a good idea.

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thanks for your kind reply. I sure miss my dogs. I love seeing your dogs (and it was wonderful seeing your cat), they bring joy to my heart. Thanks for the information about green oats. I've eaten oat porridge all my life knowing that food is so good for us humans. I know my goats and horses (I don't have animals anymore) always loved their oats too. Yes, this year has been very good for raspberries. So far I've picked over 25 pounds of raspberries and there are still more to pick everyday right now. You may want to try moving some of your raspberry canes to another spot. Raspberries are travelers and enjoy new ground. Another way to get raspberries going, when they have been diminishing, is to spread cow or horse manure through the patch, they love that feed of nitrogen and organic material. - - - Here the mosquitoes have been really bad this summer, once the heat got turned on (this July when temps. went above 30 degrees Celcius everyday for weeks) after all that high water we had here this spring. - - - I must look strange out in my garden wearing head nets and covered head to foot with clothing, hopefully to keep the bugs off. One of the good things about mosquitoes of course is that they feed birds and other insects. It seems nature always has a plus side doesn't she! Take care. Cheers!

Thanks so much! xx

Hi J B - glad you liked it. xx

Next week Samantha! Tune in next Sunday😂

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Looking forward to seeing that too.

So glad you enjoyed it and that you liked the music. Not sure if the practice was brought over, I think it is way of rural people socialising and enjoying the turns of the year. x

As a former History teacher I am very sad that History has been down-graded on the Irish curriculum which I think is a deliberate policy to do just that - make us forget and become shadows of what we could be. You have a good week Lorraine xx

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Here in New Zealand the Maori people who were here before English came and settled are slowly gaining having their language and culture recognised and Matariki/Winter solstice is now a public holiday.Te Reo their language is now being taught and I look forward to learning more alongside my grandson It's exciting but will take a long time before many English descent people are comfortable with it.

I'm a teacher (primary) as well though not working in the public system any more as I feel the children are being taught as though they are an assembly line (shudder).

IT would be a good idea - so many uses but don't make our mistake and go too big too soon. Take your time and get to know the garden and your capabilities. xxx

So glad you enjoyed it Greg. xx

Happy Lughnasadh Isobel. Blessings to you too.xx

Blessings Dianne! xx

Yes, so beneficial. xx

Happy Lughnasadh Carolyn, I hope the heat and humidity has subsided a little for you. xxx
