Hillview Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have an interest in vegetable farming. I have taken quite a few photos in the last few years. The photos are mostly from the Comber area, County Down, Northern Ireland. This is the main vegetable growing area in NI and is known for it's early spuds. Scrabo Tower is a landmark in the Comber area and can be seen in the background of the above photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Fantastic pictures, if you have got many more of these then this will become one of my favourite topics. The last farm I worked on was a vegetable farm and, if I ever went back to it, that's the type of farm that I would look to go back to. Keep 'em coming ;) ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillview Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks Robbo. Plenty more photos to come. What type of vegetable farm did you work on and where? It would be interesting if others posted pictures of vegetable farming in their part of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting if others posted pictures of vegetable farming in their part of the country. It was on the Cambridgeshire/ Bedfordshire border in a village called Wyboston but I finished in 1981 when I got made redundant. Used to grow all sorts of brassicas including sprouts, broccoli and caulis, Onions, green beans and potatoes as well as cereals and combinable dried peas.

Hillview Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 One for the JD fans. A JD 6620 and a Patterson bedformer. These bedformers are made in County Down and have a great reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
