Liam of the Lettuces

We encountered the owner of this long and lovely patch
of vegetables recently on an after-dinner walk.




I've admired his lush rows of potatoes, lettuces and onions
since my first visit to Carrowholly, four years ago,
and here he was, finally. We chatted for a bit and
he sent us away with two massive heads of lettuce
and a bunch of sweet onions.



You might recall my post a few weeks ago
of three scarecrows: same garden.
The fruits (er, vegetables) of his toils are for sale
at the Thursday market in town. We bought a bag
of "mucky" potatoes last week -- still covered in dirt.



YUM!
