View from my favourite step This is written in response to the latest prompt from the Grow Write Guild - the theme is what your garden sounds like. If you click on the link on the bird names you will hear what I hear. For me the optimum gardening time is early evening when everyone else is busy with dinner, going out whatever. At this time it seems I have […]
I wrote yesterday about herbs. Today I would like to showcase a couple of plants that are also herbs, but possibly not as well known as the traditional Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme... (Cue: sounds of "Scarborough Fair" heard in the background). The first one is Wild Garlic. I'm trying to establish a patch of it that is big enough to allow […]
Som mange af jer vil vide, har jeg hvide duer flyvende rundt i haven, og de er næsten blevet mine maskotter. Når folk går tur i skoven, skal mange lige forbi og se, hvordan det står til med duerne. Jeg synes, de giver en helt udefinerlig stemning; der på en eller anden måde er engelsk. Jeg er så glad for duerne, at jeg også har skaffet mig nogle […]

siger man. Lige for tiden giver sætningen alt for god mening for mig, da jeg har lidt for meget at rive i. Sager der skal gøres færdige, konsultationer, og nye bestillinger på haveplaner, Det er også eksamenstid, så studerende skal guides videre. I haven gror det hele som besat og der skal luges, sås, vandes, beskæres og plantes ud. Det er ikke ligefrem tide […]
We've had rain falling softly from the grey sky overnight and most of this morning. It's still very grey and gloomy outside, so there's probably more on the way. We don't usually get much rain at this time of year, as we're now into our long dry season, but I remember something similar happening last year so perhaps we really are s […]
Spring ephemerals typically bloom in May here. We have many growing at our new home that didn’t grow wild at our old home, plus there are many that I acquired through purchase or trade while at the old house that I brought over with me.Here are a few of my favorites.I don’t know what magic makes bluets grow in a lawn, but we have that magic here.Bluets grew […]
