    The Final Fair Pictures

    I took some pictures in the mornings before the fair opened; my 50mm lens gave some interesting shots. I’m new to the lens, but I’m beginning to see the point of it. I still have a lot to learn, since I can see what isn’t quite right in several pictures.. Otin jonkin verran valokuvia Kevätpuutarhamessuilta aamuisin ennen kuin ne varsinaisesti avattiin, sain mielestäni ihan jänniä kuvia 50mm objektiivillani. Se on suhteellisen uusi hankinta ja alan vähitellen oppimaan sen etuja, mutta näen myös selvästi mitkä asiat eivät aivan täsmää näissä kuvissa.. Jag tog en del foton på vår avdelning på mässan på morgnarna före den öppnades, jag tyckte att en del…

    Until Spring Gets Here

    There are very few signs of spring here, so this is to ease the wait. The video above introduced Kekkilä’s (Hasselfors Garden’s in Sweden)  Home & Garden products in 2010 and was shot in my garden in 2009. Koska keväästä ei pahemmin ole mitään merkkejä, lisään tämän videon odotuksen helpotukseksi. Postauksen video esitteli 2010 Kekkilän (Ruotsissa Hasselfors Garden brändi) uusia Koti & Piha tuotteita  ja se kuvattiin minun puutarhassa 2009. Eftersom det inte syns särskilt mycket vårtecken, lägger jag in den här videon för att underlätta väntningen. Videon introducerade 2010 Kekkiläs (Hasselfors Gardens i Sverige) nya Hem & Trädgård produkter och den filmades i min trädgård 2009.

    Genius Loci

    This picture is for the Gardening Gone Wild   Picture This Photo Contest , this is a direct link to the pic as I have right click disabled on this site. ’Genius loci’ is the theme for Gardening Gone Wild’s picture contest this month. I like the theme, it was always central to me when I had my gardening design business and did more garden designing than I do now. Ice roses – or are they called that in English? Genius loci refers to a sense of place i.e. the sprit of a certain place. In terms of garden design it could be to match the design of a house to other materials in…

    Spring is Approaching

    Or to be more exact it is now possible to tell yourself that spring is approaching, since the sun can feel a bit warm when its shining and it actually shines a bit. I’ve had some heating in my greenhouse this winter. It hasn’t always kept it above freezing, but it looks like it’s been enough for my newest tree peony. It still grows in a pot and I remain hopeful that the Cordylines and at least a few of my Agapanthuses are alive. I fear my Coloacasia is a goner, but perhaps I’ll find a new bulb a the Spring Garden Fair in Helsinki in April. Kevät lähestyy – tai…
