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…

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…

Nordic Gardens – Nordiska Trädgårdar
I’m going to switch things up today and write mostly in Swedish and summarize in English and Finnish, after all it’s about a trip to Stockholm. Jag besökte Nordiska trädgårdar på Stockholmsmässan i lördags med min mamma. Det var en trevlig färd, vi har ganska ofta varit på trädgårdsmässor tillsammans och det var ett tag sen vi besökt någon svensk mässa. Den här gången fanns det ett par bonus: jag träffade mina svenska kolleger på Hasselfors Garden och jag fick träffa en glad samling trädgårdsbloggare. Hasselfors Gardens avdelning. På Allt om Trädgårds avdelning var det träff (notera Hasselfors Gardens Trädgårdslider och Odlingsbänkar…) 😉 Jag var bekant med en del av…

What Would the Hardcore Enthusiast Do? Part 2
There are easy ways of sowing and there are complicated ways of sowing, there are of course also easy complicated ways of sowing 😉 I wrote a bit about raising woody plants from seed in Part 1 of my slightly beyond normal gardening endeavors. Uncomplicated seeds germinate in something close to room temperature or a bit more within a week or two, but in addition to those kinds of seeds there are several ones that require a few tricks. Cold treatment is the most common one, but there are fire treatments, hormone treatments and all sorts of minor tricks. Cold treatment the easy way, sometimes I have been using the refrigerator, but then…

Visiting Viherpaja
Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’ – peikonpähkinä – trollhassel I was out trying to score some herbs on Saturday; I’m being literal: I was looking for Thyme, Rosemary and other herbs for the windowsill, it’s surprisingly hard to find nice ones before the season starts. Viherpaja though, had some good ones, and once you are there you just can’t miss their Japanese Garden. The Japanes Garden is entirely indoors. This is gives you a chance to admire some beauties that just aren’t hardy enough for Finland and you get to see them flower before the season really starts outdoors. On Saturday the cherries were just starting to bloom, the Japanese maples were…
