Late Summer
This picture is my entry to Gardening Gone Wild’s Picture This competition for this September. This is a link to the same picture that allows the picture to be saved. I had a hard time picking my entry, I like the picture above, I just wish it would be a bit better technically. Still the dahlias lined up in a fantastic way and the weather was co-operating, so I’m mostly pleased. The picture is a few years old and taken with my old camera. I’ve cropped it a bit and I’ve removed a small bug in Photoshop. It took a few tries to get the light right in the background…

Society Life
I’m a member of a lot of gardening societies and a bit involved in the administration of a few of them. The one I’m most involved in is Blomsterodlingens vänner i Finland r.f. (“Friends of flower gardening in Finland”). The camera gardening blog has been slightly neglected because I’ve been overhauling Blomsterodlingens vänner i Finland r.f.’s site. I’ve done it in a very similar manner as CG and it’s really a relief that it’s done. It might change a bit depending on the feedback, but this is it for now. You can visit it here. The first picture shows two of “The BOV’s” membership magazines; Lucida Handwriting is kind of…

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…

Oops, I’m on Video
I can’t seem to embed this, but on the magazine Koti ja Keittiös homepage, I’m talking about growing herbs and vegetables (in Finnish) on balconies and in small places. My part starts at 2:19. Hyötyviljely on kesän hitti – Edit: THE VIDEO CAN NO LONGER BE SEEN En saa tätä video sisennettyä tänne, mutta Koti ja Keittiön saitilla puhun yrttien ja vihannesten vilejystä parvekkeilla ja pienissä paikoissa. Osuuteni alkaa 2:19. Taisin ihan oikeasti välttyä “niinkun”-ilmaisuilta, tai sitten videota on vain leikattu hyvin 😉 Hyötyviljely on kesän hitti – Edit: VIDEO EI OLE ENÄÄ NÄHTÄVISSÄ Jag lyckas inte lägga in videon här, men på tidningen Koti ja Keittiös hemsida talar jag om odling på balkong och i…

Fair Gardening
An hour before the fair opened. Noin tuntia ennen messujen avaamista. Ungefär en time före mässan öppnade. This week has been super busy, but also quite exciting. There was quite a bit of planning beforehand, but the real effort has been from Tuesday to Wednesday in building a 68 m² fair garden for my employer Kekkilä. Kekkilä has some splendid products that provided the building blocks, but then it was up to me, Ulrika Tuomainen and Juhani Tapiovaara to plan the stand and build it in 30 hours over two days. Luckily we had help from other builders at Helsingin Projektitoteutus and two other competent gardeners that work for Kekkilä…
