Nu blir det inte mycket trädgård i verkligheten. Det blir indirekta sysslor som fröbeställningar, sådder av de frön som ska stratifieras, mm. Men då har jag ju tid att ägna mig åt lite konsthantverk istället. Som kan placeras ut i trädgården sedan, om de håller måttet. Utforskar blom- och fröställningar i olika material. Dokumentation på bloggen är en del av det. Fröställningen är gjord i aluminiumtråd av olika tjocklekar. Höjd 17 cm. Tanken är att den ska se ut som en frökapsel gör på hösten, då bara skelettet är kvar. Detta är en prototyp för att komma underfund med hur materialet kan användas och hur tätt jag ska sätta de enskilda blommorna, mm. Tanken är att det ska likna en en allium. Det svåraste är att få den tillräckligt hållbar så att pinnarna inte trillar ur den centrala bollen, men det har jag nog löst nu. Däremot bör nästa bli mycket tätare med avseende på de enskilda blommorna. "Blomställningens" höjd: 40 cm.

Hello there, fellow Bloggers! Thank you ever so much for your comments on my last post. They are truly appreciated. Well, it seems like a really, really long time since I last did a posting. We went to Devon for the week and so I have been minus my trusty computer. Although, I did have a laptop with me, I found it incredibly hard to leave comments on some blogs as the screen just kept freezing. I told the OH that I found it extremely frustrating. He just said "Well, we are at the end of the line here, you know!" So with laptops having brain freezes and humans getting frustrated there was little point in staying in and just cussing the damn machinery. It was time to venture outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. The sun finally put its hat on! Hip hip, hip hip, hooray! A week last Saturday we ventured once again to Burrow Farm Gardens which is only a short distance from our base in Devon. Having only visited just over a month ago I thought that I would be taking virtually identical photos but the gardens had changed so, so much. Gone were the abundance of foxgloves and in their place were hundreds of hydrangea heads. I will take you for a gentle tour of the gardens - starting with this wonderful old blue wheelbarrow. The owners dog who seems to always be at the entrance to the gardens waiting to greet the visitors. The gardens are the work of a husband and wife team who have lived here for fifty years. I love these sort of places, not fantastically well known - a well kept secret. All the plants were looking at their best despite the weeks of heavy rainfall. There were many buddleias but not many butterflies. The last time we visited there were many. I wondered where they were. Hiding from the mad woman with the camera that's for sure! We walked along paths and tunnelled walkways. We saw trees with fabulously coloured leaves. And sat for a while in the wonderful summerhouse just soaking up the atmosphere - such peacefulness, the only sound the trilling of the birds in the trees and the sound of a tractor in a distant field. We came across an old water pump. We saw a brilliant blue hydrangea. We espied a dragonfly! Some glorious flowers. And more hydrangeas. And some more. We came across this plant - I don't know its name but the deep red of the berries and the sunshine yellow of the flowers against the lime green leaves was spectacular. We came across nasturtiums. And poppy seed heads. And an old tractor. These gardens are wonderful. The entry fee for an adult is £6 and for a child £1. It is well worth it. There is a small cafe on site and the food is delicious - KP who has previously turned her nose up at scones begged to try one and loved it! The owners also have two elderly cats and one sat with us throughout our lunch which made KP very happy. The cat was happy too being fed lumps of cheese from her sandwich! Until next time, June.

The Delicate Dance of Poppies: A Gardener’s Diary There’s something almost magical about poppies. Their vibrant hues and delicate petals have captivated hearts and inspired poets for centuries. As a gardener and writer, I’ve found growing poppies from seed to be one of the most rewarding experiences. It’s a journey of patience and care, but the payoff is a garden alive with color and life. This post may contain affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Please read our full disclosure here to find out more. Understanding Poppies Poppies come in a tapestry of colors, each variety with its own story. From the somber remembrance symbolized by the red poppy to the exotic allure of the Oriental poppy, these flowers hold a special place in the world of flora. The life cycle of a poppy is a testament to nature’s resilience, sprouting from tiny seeds to bloom into a spectacle of beauty. Preparing to Plant Choosing the right seeds is like selecting a fine wine; it requires attention to detail and an understanding of quality. I always opt for seeds from reputable sources, ensuring they’re organic and non-GMO. Timing is crucial, too. I’ve found that sowing in early spring or fall can yield the best results, depending on your climate. Planting Process Soil preparation is where the magic begins. Poppies thrive in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. I gently press the seeds into the soil, careful not to bury them too deep, as they need light to germinate. The right balance of warmth and light will coax the seeds to life. Caring for Your Poppies Watering is a delicate balance; too much, and the seeds will rot, too little, and they won’t sprout. Thinning the seedlings can be heart-wrenching, but it’s necessary for robust growth. I’ve battled pests and weather, but the solutions are often simple and organic, like neem oil and proper spacing. Watching Them Grow Germination is a waiting game, but when those first shoots appear, it’s a victory. I chart their growth, noting each new leaf and bud. It’s a daily ritual that connects me to the earth and the cycle of life. From Flowering to Seed Production The blooming period is a celebration. Poppies don’t bloom for long, but their beauty is ephemeral and cherished. I collect seeds after the petals fall, storing them for next season’s planting, continuing the cycle of growth.
