Take Notice - Art with Catherine
Mandala Colouring is a graph concept, which is to replicate intricate and circular patterns to form a unique design, combining elegance and sophistication. The Mandalas are not the easiest to draw and colouring these require your full attention to get them right! In fact you will have to be very careful and meticulous to color them without exceeding the proposed areas. Colouring and drawing is a great way to switch off and concentrate. 🎨 For more online colouring go to: https://coloring-pages.info/mandalacoloringpages

Gardening with Aideen - Routine Jobs
For more info go to: www.giy.ie
Some routine jobs:
- Thinning: Thin your salad leaves (rocket and oriental greens) down so that there is a 3cm gap between seedlings, if you want to aim for two or more harvests from them.
- Leave the salad leaves alone for one large harvest.
- Thin radishes to 3cm between each seedling.
- Thin spinach to 10cm between seedlings for now.
- Harvest all the leaves you’re thinning as you go for a microgreens salad.
- Weeding: Remove weeds between rows of carrot seedlings, ideally with a hoe.
- Remove weeds within carrot rows with a more precise tool, like a hand-hoe, trowel or your own hand.
- Thin carrot seedlings as you remove weeds within the row, leaving 5cm between each one.
- Supporting: Make sure to get supports in for your peas before they grow taller than 20cm.
- Use branches, bamboo canes or something upcycled as supports for your peas.

Gardening with Aideen - Broad Beans
Broad Beans are generally the first plant to produce a crop, making them one of the first new-season crops of the year. Arguably they are not as tasty as peas or french beans, but they are very easy to grow and prolific, and they freeze well. Broad beans are sweeter when small and in fact, you can eat the whole pod when they are 2-3cm. Source: www.GIY.ie

| Aideen's Broad Beans were set 2 weeks ago and are growing well |
