Babe and Pumpkins
This is no record breaker, but a personal best for me. The large one weighs 36,3 kg (80 lb and 0.44 oz), the small one 9,7 kg (21 lb and 6.15 oz) and Babe something in between ;-P The seeds are ‘Atlantic Giant’, unfortunately I was kind of late in planting my seedlings, but we had a good summer which helped a lot. Are there any other growers out there? Kurpitsani ei riko mitään ennätyksiä, paitsi oman ennätykseni. Se iso painaa 36,3 kg ja se pieni 9,7 kg, Babe painaa jotain siitä välistä ;-P Siemenet ovat “Atlantin Jättiä”, istutin ne aika myöhään, mutta kesä oli hyvä joten ne kasvoivat kuitenkin aika…

This is the last part, so here goes… Tässä on nyt viimeinen osa… Det här är sista delen på det här inlägget… In the first picture: Some Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum ‘CaribbeanCrush’ looking a bit light / hiukan vaaleana / i sin ljusaste variant) would fit the scheme / krassit sopisivat / krasse skulle passa This Hemerocallis is waiting for a move / tämä päivänlilja odottaa siirtoa / den här dagliljan väntar på flytt Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ and one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken (in 2004 or something with a very simple camera): perfectly co-operating butterflies and a really nice hybrid of Dahlia ‘Bishop’s Children’ Dahlia ’David Howard’ of course /…

A Future Sunset Part 2
The pictures were starting to pile up on my last post, so I decided to divide it into three parts. This is about the plants that I plan to include in my sunset border next year. Niitä kuvia alkoi olla aika hurjan paljon liittyen siihen mun edelliseen postaukseen, joten päätin jakaa sen kolmeen. Tässä siis taas kuvia niistä kukista joita suunnittelen minun auringonlaskupenkkiini ensi vuonna. Det började bli ganska mycket bilder i mitt förra inlägg, så jag beslöt att dela upp det i tre delar. Här följer alltså bilder som jag tänker ha i min solnedgångsrabatt som jag planerar att anlägga nästa år. In the first picture: I might consider…

A Future Sunset Part 1
A few things, among them Scott with the blog Rhone Street Gardens have been inspiring me during this summer and given me the idea to start a ”sunset” border next year. I have a spot that gets the evening sun, where some rather ugly black currants grow right now, that really is in need of a makeover. Besides getting the evening light the idea would be to use orange, apricot and red flowered plants, maybe even with a little yellow which I usually avoid like the plague. I already have a lot of plants that could move there next year: some Miscanthus ‘Malepartus’, M. ‘Morning Light’ and a Miscanthus that…

Bulb Relief
I’m up to my neck in pitches, bureaucracies and php-something or others that leave me scratching my head, so it really felt like a mini-vacation to take a look at some garden pictures and order a few more bulbs. I’m ordering more of the same and getting a few novelties, all from Verberghe (eurobulb.nl) that would be quite affordable, but still costs a bit when you order up to 50 of the same sort 😉 I can’t live without my Phalaris arundinacea ‘Picta’ and ‘White Triumphator’ tulips, so even though I still have some I’m stocking up just in case. The narcissi are old favorites as well, except ‘Stainless’ that…
