Tree care
We need to cut down a couple of trees to put up a greenhouse. I think I'm going to do a few on Sunday, when it's going to be above freezing. Then I need to ask M for help with the bigger ones. And finally, we have to remove the roots, which looks like the fun part ( Read more... ) -
Open letter to the ants
Dear ants,
You really should know better than nesting inside my compost heap

What if we try those covering nets next year?
There was some very nice-looking chard in the garden. M and I had some in a stew last week.
Then there was a family of beautiful deer (they are really gorgeous).
Now there's only the carrots.

Do we even have a garden any more?
We have a giant pile of snow in the garden. It's mixed with moss by now, but it's still there. I suppose there's no point doing anything until it's gone.
I think I'm going to check if I have any pea seeds, and plant them in pots for when I come back from my trip.

Today I counted six little tomatoes on one bush, and five on the other, one a couple of centimetres across. All are an even pale green. I also have peas and beans and chard and tiny onions.
Next year, I may try to put up some strings in the greenhouse, for the beans and the tomatoes to climb on.
Crosspost: garden, foodWe have beans!
I found a good handful of slender green beans in the greenhouse this morning. They have some growing to do, but that's what beans do.
I must check on them tomorrow too.
The tomatoes are tiny yellow flowers, and the peas are white ones. Only the cucumber remains at the green leaves stage.

I have ordered some new crossword magazines. I was getting tired of the old ones. (But I still find new things in them, occasionally, after a couple of years. So I consider them very good ( Read more... )Greenhouse
I have now planted my beans. Before I did so, someone stood them on their heads in the sofa. I don't know if they survived it, but they look okay for now.
We expect a severe water shortage this year. I'm thinking of watering the plants with beer...

I went to Gullgård for a a couple of sacks of soil. While I was there, I bought tomatoes, cucumber and some flowers. The trip appeared to be bad for the tomatoes (both of them). They are in the greenhouse now, and I hope they get better. Otherwise, I suppose I can get new ones ( Read more... )I have started the garden
I put down some seeds the other day. Not in the ground -- we're having snow and hail -- but in a box in the living room window ( Read more... )
