<\/a>Have you grown any vegetables yet? Six families are just starting and if you’re new to the idea, why not join them by following the month-by-month projects?<\/p>\n GIY Ireland launched\u00a0Operation GIY Nation <\/a>back in April choosing\u00a0six pioneer families around Ireland to have a go at growing their own as well as be in with a chance to win a prize. As complete beginners the families are being helped and advised be GIY, a charitable organisation that’s doing a great job at helping and encouraging people to grow their own food, and I was delighted to be asked to write the projects for them.<\/p>\n The first month –\u00a0April<\/a>\u00a0started by sowing cress seeds.<\/p>\n
