Getting into Indoor Gardening
It’s a difficult time of the year to be a gardener. It’s cold outside and there is still a long wait for spring. I’ve slowly been getting into indoor gardening again. I had some enthusiasm for it while I was still in gardening school, but the dark winters and my dry indoor air was never a good combination for it. These days I have more light in my home and I’ve worked a bit on my indoor environment. I still have some remodelling to do, but there are already a few new places for indoor plants. In the first picture there is a Chlorophytum and a Streptocarpus. This is a…

I’m Gardening on TV
I got a call yesterday and was asked to be on the Swedish speaking morning show Min Morgon. They were interested in current gardening tasks. It’s still very much winter here so it was either repotting, growing herbs indoors or starting plants from seed. I went with the two latter. I you are in Finland or use a VPN service like the ones my expat friends like you can see the show here until the 24th of February. I’m on at 14:40 minutes in and babble away for the next ten minutes. EDIT: You can’t see it anymore Minua pyydettiin eilen mukaan FST:n Min Morgon aamu-ohjelmaan. Heitä kiinnostivat ajankohtaiset puutarhatoimet.…

Indoors and Ikebana
The weather outside has been atrocious so the only ”gardening” I’ve been doing was visiting an ikebana exhibition at Gallery Johan S earlier today. I can’t quite remember exactly when I took up ikebana: it must have been after I studied some flower arranging at the gardening school and before I went to Japan. I collected a lot of vases and a local institution actually offered a course in ikebana that I attended. It’s been a hobby of mine that I haven’t pursued very actively, but now and again. Sää on ollut niin kamala, etten ole harrastanut puutarhaa millään muulla tavalla kuin vierailemalla tänään Galleria Johan S:n ikebana näyttelyssä. En…

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…
