Garden Style
I was recently asked to be in the Finnish fashion magazine Gloria, in a feature where different people present their own style. Naturally a lot of my style, in the way I dress and decorate, has been influenced by my gardening interest. Mostly I’d say in terms of color, but perhaps also in terms of a certain stark simplicity that I appreciate in various objects. Gloria is a very nice magazine so it was an honor to be asked to appear. I think this is a suitable moment to reveal that I’ll also get in to detail about my kitchen garden in a special publication that is called Glorian puutarha…

My Matryoshka Greenhouse
My greenhouse has transformed into a matryoshka greenhouse in the sense that there is a similar smaller greenhouse inside it right now. The smaller greenhouse is actually made from bubble wrap and inside it I have a heater. This way the heat stays inside a smaller better insulated space and I have a place for my Agapanthus, Camellia and other tender beauties. I hope they’ll survive, since the winter did eventually arrive here. Kasvihuoneestani on tullut maatuskakasvihuone. Varsinaisen kasvihuoneen sisäpuolelle on nyt kuplamuovinen kasvihuone ja sen sisällä on lämpöpuhallin. Näin olen saanut pienemmän osan paljon paremmin eristetyksi ja voin säilyttää siellä sinisarjoja, kameliaani ja muita hiukan herkkiä kasveja. Toivottavasti ne…

A Frozen New Year!
I’m wishing you a ”Happy New Year!” but frozen is what it’s turned out to be 😉 The sea was lightly frozen over today and we have a very light sprinkling of snow. I think I’d be alright with a month of mild winter now and then the snowdrops could start blooming in February, please… Toivotan kyllä teille “Onnellista Uutta Vuotta!”, mutta tämä päivä alkoi jäätyneellä kelillä. Meren vesi oli saanut ohuen jääpeitteen ja maahan oli satanut ihan pikkaisen lunta. Mulle sopisi nyt kuukausi leutoa talvea ja sitten helmikuussa lumikellot saisivat kukkia kiitos… Jag önskar er för all del ett ”Gott Nytt År!” men i något frusna tecken har det…

This Year Illustrates the Next
As in I made a calendar for 2012 based on pictures taken this year. I’ve made calendars before, but this year it was surprisingly easy as I’ve taken a lot of pictures for this blog. The masses of snow last winter made for some pretty pictures and then the summer was rainy enough for some good growth and nothing really got scorched. The fall was long and warm so all in all it was a pretty good year for the garden! Otsikko “Tämä vuosi kuvittaa seuraavan” viittaa siihen että olen tehnyt seinäkalenterin vuodelle 2012 tämän vuoden kuvista. Olen tehnyt kalentereita aikaisemminkin, mutta tänä vuonna se oli yllättävän helppoa koska olen…

TV Replacement
This ikebana arrangement in something resembling ”Moribana upright style” is substituting my TV for the moment. Tämä moribana-tyyppinen ikebana asetelma korvaa tällä hetkellä minun TV:täni. Det här ikebana arrangemanget i ”upprätt moribana-stil” ersätter för tillfället min TV.
