October. Still planting. Coriander

We’ve always been a little envious of the overwintering experts—those growers who plan ahead and have beautiful leaves ready while the rest of us are still eyeing up seed packets. 🌱

This year, we’re giving it a proper go and making the most of our two giant tunnels, starting with some radicchio.

There’s a bit of learning ahead, but the hope is to bring colour, crunch and that lovely bitterness to our early spring menus. A little work now for something worth waiting for.

We’ll keep you posted on how it grows

A very productive corner of the farm - our new pollination team - Cloonmore Honey Bees.

Whilst turning over some summer beds in prep for collard greens et al, and ruminating over the intricacies of dialling in the perfect cup of coffee, Claudio Schiano Di Cola turns to me and asks if I’d seen that we’d been shortlisted for Business Post Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year.

And, to be honest, only for him saying it, it would have passed us by.

Not only that, but Shannon Schiano Di Cola has been similarly & deservedly feted in the Best Chef category.

Not a bad Monday.

Tunnel cleared & kudos all round - thank you & Business Post

Apparently the boxes of Roses are on the shop floors, so it’s time to start taking Christmas party bookings.
It’ll be a more intimate affair at dela this year. We won’t be packing the room or rushing through the season — instead, something a little smaller, slower, more considered and a little less frazzled.
Christmas parties at dela.

Threatening to do this for a bit - 1/2 kg bags of our own cherry tomatoes & Padron Peppers available in the lobby for purchase. Picked an hour ago so will be a flavor bomb addition to your weekend. Also - bags of our own roasted coffee, whole bean mundo novo - roasted on Tuesday this week so will be in its prime after this weekend. If there’s interest we will again next week if not no worries. Clooniffe Cherries €6 - Connemara Padron €5 - Brevet Mundo Novo Coffee 250g/500g/1kg €11/€20.50/€38

Never left a Flaming Lips gig without thinking, that was the best live show I’ve ever seen.

Pure joy, distilled.

We are lucky to have grown up with the Galway International Arts Festival.

Two weeks every summer when Galway is unapologetically Galway—creative, vibrant, a little chaotic, and full of life.

Still the best two weeks of the year.
