The Mock Orange smells like Juicy Fruit.

memo: sow two rows of mangold/chard today. Between the squash and the rhubarb

We're walking around in our garden almost dizzy from the scent of our roses in bloom. It's so beautiful and I want to stop time. These roses are in full bloom now.

We have three prepared spots in our small garden where we easily can gather for a meal or other activities when a table is a necessity. Today I have been working on the patio with evening sun. We have neglected this place since we don't use it that much. Maybe because it's not close enough to the house. It's a shame really since it's a very beautiful spot. Surrounded by two old apple trees where we have planted rambler roses (Rosa Helenae), clematis and honeysuckle. I don't know what the stones in the paving are called in English (see images)but we have layed them in a circle. Around it we've planted different sorts of roses. Rose de Recht,Celsiana, Mme Boll, St Nicholas and Mme Hardy. And the perennials we've used are Box, Geraniums, Anemones, Salvia Nemorosas, Lamb's ears and red and white Rudbeckias. I've worked hard today with the weed and the neglected rose bushes. The Anemones are very sturdy in one of the beds and almost dead in the other and the Salvias that I bought last year didn't make the winter so I planted new ones. Tomorrow I will cut the borders and hopefully we'll use this space more frequently. On the last image, my favourite perennial, Gillenia trifoliata.

potatoes

I går skördade vi vår första potatis för i år. Den var så god och så vacker. Det är något alldeles speciellt med att odla egna grönsaker. Vi åt dem med grillad fläskkarré, granatäppelsallad, fetaoströra, vitkålssallad och hel grillad aubergine.

Yesterday, we harvested this years first potatoes.
