The Nicer Part of November
I still have a few shots left over from November. My dilemma right now is that I want at least one nice garden picture from this month that looks suitably “Decemberish”. I’ve made a garden calendar (mostly for my mom) for the past years and finding a picture for December has always been the hardest. These November pics frankly look more “Octoberish”! But I’m not complaining about the relative warmth! Minulla on vielä vähän kuvia marraskuulta. Ongelmani on tällä hetkellä että tarvitsisin ainakin yhden hyvän joulukuisen kuvan puutarhasta. Olen viime vuosina tehnyt (lähinnä äidille joululahjaksi) puutarhakalenterin ja joulukuuhun on aina ollut vaikeinta saada kuva. Nämäkin marraskuiset kuvat näyttävät melko lokakuisilta!…

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…

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…

Gardening for Food
Before this becomes a clematis blog, I’ll get back to one of my favorites types of gardening, i.e. kitchen gardening. On one hand, this is my favorite time of the year: you can harvest the best food – the food that you’ve grown yourself. The other day I got inspired by a trip to a restaurant. I therefore decided to put my more than generous crop of tomatoes to good use. I used all the tomatoes in that first picture and some more, all the vegetables, two onions, some Jerusalem artichokes, red wine, a little chili pepper and some deer that my dad had hunted and made a stew. It…

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…
