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!

Giving in on the Potatoes

Still hot weather here, but we need rain now, we only had it one day the last month.

The water in my stream getting lower and I take all water to my flower and veggies from there (nothing from the communal water).

The Kingcup/Kabbeleka coloring the edges of my stream and the Lilly leaves start to come up like small swords.

Everybody tell me I need to have Potatoes in my veggie patch. It wasn't in my plan, then I visited my friends Evy & Roine here in the village and they had just put down potatoes in the soil and talked about how good new potatoes taste.

Well home I looked at the bag with local grown potatoes "Maritema" from Hållnäs, and they had sprouts! The Swede in me where convinced, a potatoe bed had to to be digged.

The Potatoes are to the left, together with red Onions. The round bed is for a Red Currant. To the right did I put the two beds together to get some symetri and there I have a Black Currant, and a red Rhubarb "Elmlitz" in the new part in the middle and Evy's Rhubarbs to the right.

The formal veggie garden start to take shape and I can start to see how my vision working out, fun.

Inside my house do I have a little special plant I got from Lövstabruks Trädgårdsmästeri: A Physalis/Kapkrusbär

When they renovated the old Greenhouse from 1735 did they found a small plant of Physalis growing in the soil on the floor after they took away 10cm soil at the renovation 2009, and now they have multiply it and I have one :D

Today my first flower came

With that do I wish You a splendid day

Per!
