What Grows Well in Leitrim

Leitrim's wet climate suits potatoes, brassicas, and root crops best. The county's tradition of lazy-bed cultivation is being rediscovered by a new generation. Drainage is the main challenge — raised beds transform results dramatically. A polytunnel extends the season significantly.
