    I have a cousin in the town of Ennis who has a garden in his yard, but on the farms in Ireland they have a large garden a distance from the home and a kitchen garden at the back door.He is Joe Skelley from the village Tomb in County Galway Ireland.
    There are also hens outside the kitchen door which provide the eggs. She also gathers the killage for every day use.
