    Forced Inside

    It’s really raining too much for digging so I’m back inside again. It’s been a very busy summer and I had to take a break from blogging.  The summer has been filled with gardening and I’ve seen a lot of gardens and flowers and as the fall goes on I imagine I’ll have time to share some pictures. I’ve been using Instagram so here is a sneak peek and a little collage of a few pictures. Most of my gardening pictures have the hashtag #aplantaday which no one else seems to be using right now. There are more pics in the new sliding sidebar on the left! In the first…

    Out in the Garden

    I’m spending all my free time in the garden now that the evenings are so light so I’ve not really had time to blog. It’s funny, since there would be a lot to blog about! Well, there was a bit of rain, so I’ll have time to share a few pictures 🙂 Kaikki vapaa aikaa menee tällä hetkellä puutarhassa. Illat ovat niin valoisia, joten puutarhassa menee niin kauan, etten ole ehtinyt blogata. Se on hiukan hassua, koska nyt aiheita riittäisi! Pieni sadekuuro antaa nyt kuitenkin sen verran aikaa että ehdin näyttää pari kuvaa 🙂 All ledig tid går åt i trädgården för tillfället. Kvällarna är så ljusa att det går så…

    Friend Support

    The weather is almost as horrible as it’s in November, so when my friend shared some pictures she took in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens last week they cheered me up quite a bit! It’s lovely with friends like her, thanks HS! Kun sää on ollut lähes yhtä kamala kuin marraskuussa, on todella kiva että minulla on sellaisia kavereita jotka ilokseni postaavat ihania kuvia Brooklynin kasvitieteellisestä puutarhasta! Kaverini HS kuvasi ne viime viikolla ja ne piristivät kummasti, suuret kiitokset! Vi har haft nästan novemberlikt fasligt väder så när en av mina bästa vänner delade med sig av härligt våriga bilder från Brooklyns botaniska trädgård från förra veckan så piggade de upp…

    Fair Confessions

    I wasn’t going to attend the fair last weekend at all, but since my brother and his wife were going to the house building part of the fair I tagged along anyway. As expected there wasn’t a lot to see, but there were a few minor nice things. Some of the vendors that usually come to the shows were there, but some were missing. A lot of them were selling stuff that isn’t really suitable for the Finnish climate, but the kind of stuff I buy anyway, since I’m fortunate enough to have my wonderful greenhouse and I kind of know what I’m doing – at least most of the time… En…

    Fantastic Fall

    New York may be experiencing snow storms, but we are having a wonderful fall. It was +15° C at the most today and for once I had a chance to sit at a terrace for a while and just enjoy the weather. It was just amazing! New Yorkissa on jonkinlainen lumimyräkkä, mutta tällä kertaa meillä taas on aivan ihastuttava syksy. Lämpömittari kipusi parhaimmillaan +15° C tänään ja kerrankin minulla oli mahdollisuus istua hetken terassilla ja vain nauttia säästä. Se oli ihanaa! Det må vara snöstormar i New York, men för en gångs skull har vi haft en alldeles härlig höst. Som bäst var det +15° C varmt idag och för…
