Trellis for the Roses in the entrance garden

My entrance garden towards the street had only gravel when I moved in, but as you know, I now have a lawn with a new Magnolia and flowerbeds with clombing Roses and more-
It's growing quickly now and my new Roses start to need new trellis to grow on, I have now prepared for them.

To the right is the street and beyong that, the stream. On this wall are my plans to have climbing roses on each end growing up towards the bedroom window and Peonies between with a tree Peony in the middle. To the far left is the entrance to my house, at the "formal" garden.
There was only gravel here as I said. I put 5 pallet collars here and digged a deeper hole where the big plants where going
The climbing Rose New Dawn that I planted in October are a bit slow starter, but getting there
In between I filling up with perennials, mostly Nepeta of different kinds

Also Maiden Pink/Backnejlika
Behind the Maiden Pink You can see the other climbing rose: "Climbing Iceberg", a rose it took me a while to find, bit got it from "Trägår´n i Söderfors" in the end
China Peony "Hong Zhu Ying Yo"
To fill out I also put in some Physalis Peruviana/Kapkrusbär
Most of the Hollyhocks/Stockrosor I planted along the road did not like it there, so I moved them here instead
It's getting greener by the day :D

Along the barn with the stonewall the Climbing Rose Ilse Krohn loving is and growing fast, alreay on the trellis. On the barn door did I put a black flower container with cuttings of a larger wild Pelargonium Australe I bought a few years ago, that will cascade down
All three Climbing Roses are blooming all season, which was a demand from me.
On the other side of the door where a pallet collar is do I have the little Lilac, Isops and the Wild Honeysuckle/Caprifol and some pots with Pelargoniums

One of them is the beautiful "Francis James which will be the last photo from this part of the garden for this time
Hope You all had a good weekend, Per!

A White Surpise in my village of Leufstabruk

This morning when I woke up I had a feeling that something was different with the light, it was very bright!
And wow, the whole landscape was covered in white beautiful snow.
I know, it's February and it should be snow, but after the last weeks of no snow and spring weather it was a surprise.
I know it will not last for long, it will be warmer than usual in a couple of days, so it was just to quickly down a cup of coffee, put on warm clothing and get out there with my camera!

Enjoy, I did :D

The last plant in the soil, but not the last leaf on the ground

So it was high time to put the last plant in the soil before the frost are here next week, and it's another favorite: Black Currant!

Something seems to never end, the falling of leaves from my Maple for example!


So, it's time to extend my "Kitchen" garden. Next to yesterdays Rhubarbs did I make a same size patch (Pallet Collar/Pallkrage size).

















One small Patch equal One bucket of Rocks. Lot of them in this part of the garden.
This will be the place of my Black Currant "Polar Ribes" a extra hardy and healty sort.













And down :D




















It's always time for Fika/Coffee break, so I bought a large Pump thermos, in that way I don't need to go in to the house for coffee :D

















Remember my stunning Maple by the entrance a couple of days ago?

















Today it looks like this, still beautiful, but where are the leaves?
















It's here! On my Driveway, again. I already took it away twice!

















3rd time is a charm, and this is hopefully the last time for this year!

















Check out the neighbor in the end of the road, not a leaf! I saw them go and handpick them with a little bucket today, their property is spotless, I have a feeling that my garden never will look like that.
Have a great day/evening, Per!
