Forest Tuesday

Adjustments and maintenance on the brush saw is a good start. It was a sunny day and we got some tan and some work done.

Look here they come

Potting tomato

Transplanting tomato seedlings on a Suday with my new English dibbler

New camera or new photographer

Same tulips and they look good, so something has happened.

Day 4 inaguration and bubbles

Speeches

The ambassador was there to cut the ribbon.

Finger food and bubbles

A man walked up the hill and...

Could not be more proud, look at the mountain. Best in show.

Day 3 waiting for day 4

We finished at noon and I'd lunch and a lovely spring day in Vaxholm, beginning to wait for the boats coming to the jetty. And the summer ice cream......

Day two at the fair

We see progress both on the mountain and the pond.

A day at the fair

The class got the assignment to build one of the stands at the annual Nordic Garden Fair. We arrived to an empty hall.

The picture to the right show how it looked like when I left day one.

And the tulips are still going

From the darkness and cold room back on the kitchen table. Will they bloom this time or ever??

Spring day on the island

The garlic survived the snow and fight for space with the acorn.

The first snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis, showed up in the white flower bed

Grafting and the destroyed clothes

One day we will see Åkerö apple tree bloom on the Island. The first step is to graft the stock with the decided apple spices. Your life and clothes are in danger with the sharp knife. The plaster is a precaution not an accident.

So you have to exercise and cut again and again as the cuts must fit to each other.

Finally the stems are back in the soil well tightened waiting for the spring.

Thursday brick in the wall

When the day was over the wall was ready. Emelie and the girls continued with the tiles. The boys measured the lawn moving key figures on the snow covered football arena!!

Long weeek and a lot learned

After the Monday London pigeons it was forest Tuesday, garden design Wednesday, and Fair preparation Thursday. It was birds and the bees Friday with pollination and seeds to seed. Saturday was the day for the Paris pigeons.

The Luxembourg gardens








Different ways to prune and train Taxus Baccata

Moving targets may create funny looking photos. The colleagues water the plants, nothing else. What you also can think of is the safety. When pruning at the pond you might need a safety vest.

As you might recognize the pigeons to the right, they are the Kensington type and the lonely one to the left made his living in the Tuileries, I’m curious about whether they speak the same language?

A day in Kensington Gardens

Rose, beef and veg.

Sunday lunch at a country PUB.

Who like to be a gardner trainee here? Mile after mile with hedges that need pruning. Lasses hedge is a pice of cake if you compare.
