I went into the City to get a few Plants and some Manure for the Garden as it is that time of the Year when things start to grow again. It is great to see all the Cyclists on the Road now instead of the way it was ten Years ago with few if any one on a Bike. When you arrive at the Traffic Lights now you are surrounded by a Gaggle of Cyclists and you can strike up a conversation about all the problems with bad Drivers and Potholes and the bad Infrastructure in Dublin. There is a Community of Cyclists in Dublin now it is great.

I am sorry I cannot reply,because I do not know what you are saying .I tried to translate it but could not. Thank's for your Comment.
I will see if I can get this translated.
I have got to get some manure for my veggie garden soon. But, I have to dig it first and the weather has been awful. I may have to trudge over the fields with my bike and I am not looking forward to that, sadly it is easier with a 4x4:-)
Then I need to get some potatoes too. I love potatoes. I am looking forward to working in the garden this year.

Hi Velochick,
I suppose where you live at least the Manure is free they just cant give it away . However the advantage of living in a City is you can buy small Boxes of the Stuff in Pelleted form. There is another Place in Francis Street in Dublin that sells small Bags of Dried Manure that is very handy as well. I could also Order Bags of Manure and it would be delivered but I would be loaded down with the Messy Stuff ,there would be to much. There are Farms not to far away from me about two Miles but you would need a Car or that 4+4 to get it Home.
I can Translate Web Pages but I could not do it on this Blog. This is the second time I got a Reply in Chinese from this Person.
Some Neighbour told me that they used ordinary Potatoe's for Growing ,they just let them Chit and put them down in the usual way and they were terrific they said. I got Blight Resistant Organic Seed Potatoe's. They are twice as Dear as Ordinary Seed Potatoe's but I had no problems the last time I grew them.
It would be interesting to know what is being said in Chinese ,Thanks very much if you can Translate it.
Sorry to say but that the Chinese message is SPAM, it is apparently going on about working at a college.
