Garden Catch Up 2/4

Hi again!

Today it's the second catch up of photos from the 2 last weeks in my garden!

Feel free to ask questions in the comment field!

Enjoy, Per!

Some Mini Pelargoniums (or forced to be); Unknown, "Friesdorf" & "Mårbacka"
The rounded pots did I buy handmade on the island of Lipari next to Stromboli in Italy, the round pot is a outer pot/water reservoir with a insert of a Terracotta pot with blue glazed rim. They come in all sizes & colours, these are the smallest. I'm thinking of importing them.

Day Lily "Joan Senior" & my blue "Inner Garden" flower beds

My "Bornholm" Pelargonium start to get it's first Roselike flowers

The delicate bluish Pelargonium "Quinquelobatum" & "Spleenwort"/"Svartbräken"

The hanging Fuchsia "Pink Marshmallow"

Sunflower "Ruby F1"

The Tomatoe & Chili wall

My baby blue Salvia "Uliginosa" have it's first flowers and are now a meter high, a long way to go to the 3'ish meter it can be.

Unknown Pelargonium and my Finish "Rauhala" Cherry tree. After trimming off all the weak side branches only keeping one, bending it upwards with support, it turned really nice and have been growing a extra meter with nice new side branches :D

"Agapanthus"/"Afrikas Blå Lilja"

The corner of the Blue innergarden with a little water feature & my Bronze statue from Chennai-India

Pelargonium "Appleblossom Rosebud"

I end todays Catch Up with a unknown kund of Hollyhock/Stockros that according to the garden center is Burgundy, but I can live with this colour as well ;)

Have a great day, Per!

Garden Catch Up 1/4

Hi again ALL!

You maybe wonder why I haven't posted in 2 weeks?

Well, we have had the most amazing weather here in my village of Lövstabruk and I've been going out in my garden at 6-7 in the morning and back in around 10-11pm/23:00, so there have been no time to sit inside and edit photos.

But neverthenless some has been taken!

So I will do a four day catch up of my photos from the last 2 weeks in my garden.

If You have any questions, feel free to comment below!

Enjoy!

Lupines everywhere & first Salad harvest

Just now there is Lupines everywhere around, and I also have a few in my garden but plan to have a small field of them together with Poppies, Digitalis and others next year.

Lövstabruks Manor House Park

Along the forrest roads

With The Early Bumblebee/Ängshumla in my garden

Yep, pretty much everywhere, it's a invasive flower in our landscape, but oh so beautiful

Excited over that I'm able to harvest my first greens from my garden (beside Rhubarbs), this is Salat and Spinache that I just topped with Basil infused Olive Oil, mmmh

The salad to the right is a mix from Gourmetgarage and to the left is the Spinache, somewhat nibbled on by Venisons, but I put in more seeds and hope for more.

Borlotto Beans, also from Gourmetgarage

Beet root, massacred by the neighbor cats, also here I put down more seeds :(

My Red Garlic Rossi di Sulmona from Gourmetgarage planted in the fall as the first veggies in my garden, so excited to see how they turn out. I have never had Garlic before and Anna at Goutmetgarage have been a patient supplier answering all my novice questions, like it was a heart surgery I was performing :D

My Potatoes growing quickly and to the right Red Onions

I have planted several Irises, what the neighbor cats haven't killed, some of the frostnights did, but there is still 7 kinds that survived, but only one blooming so far this year, and like a Paparazzi I did attack it from all angles and in all lights

But I also have wild Irises along my stream and in my Wood/Wetland in the back of the property

Most of my flowers are choosen to support the Bee & Bumblebee populations, but also for photography!

The Great Globe Thistle/Bolltistel, a long time photo favorite I got last fall from my friend Ann-Cathrin start to have beautiful green buds before they turn magnificent purple

And with that do I end today!

Have a great day, Per!
