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.

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.

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…
