My buddy Maria and I’ve a behavior of consoling one another with the phrases “this too shall cross” when issues aren’t nice, and generally lamenting the passing of nice moments too. I used to be reminded of this now that my flower borders have lastly burst into bloom. It’s such a fleeting second in summer season {that a} sure flower is at its greatest that I would actually wish to press on the pause button to have time to saviour it! As it is not attainable to pause time I’ve as a substitute saved the reminiscences of it right here on my weblog, and in the present day there’s a veritable picture dump of images from the gardens.

I’m completely in love with the just about black Persian lilies in my woodland backyard at Humlegård. They’ve failed to remain upright just like the statuesque candles they need to be, and as a substitute bend and curl nearly like snakes over the stone path and within the border. The spring has been sunny however cool, and they also have charmed me with their grace for weeks.

The tulips too have bloomed for a very long time, and to my delight Lulu the dinosaur canine has scared away the deer and rabbits so efficiently that I’ve not had one tulip eaten from my gardens. I suppose all of the gourmand animals have moved to the gardens of the pink home Stensund, as a result of there all tulips had been devoured earlier than their buds even broke.

On the pink home the borders are struggling a bit since I made a decision to let the Girls out to forage as quickly because the fowl flue alert was lifted. My candy neighbour Monika requested me if she may proceed to convey them cooked child potatoes now the hen have a run of the yard, or if I’ve stopped feeding them grains and hen feed now they’re exterior? “No, no” I stated, “please proceed with the potatoes! They get all of the meals they’re accustomed to in addition to going out, and to be trustworthy I additionally police the household over meals waste and take all of the scraps from dinner to the Girls. You’ll be able to’t think about how a lot they complain when they do not get goodies from the desk!!” It is perhaps that they’re essentially the most spoiled little hens in Finland…

As we’re going into summer season I’ve up to date the pots round my porch. It is a small factor, however generally it is the small issues that counts. The orange and inexperienced tulips I planted three years in the past within the small border in entrance have come again this 12 months too, a lot to my delight! With this I am wishing you all a beautiful candy June!
