Show Auricula 'Fred Booley'

So he decided to pay me a visit this year as well. He sure looks ravishing...eye-catching as always.  I’m so delighted to see that he is in such a good health. I mean, the winter was extremely hard-hitting for all the little auriculas.

Fred is an Englishman and he came from Drointon’s a few years ago.

You can get both the garden auriculas as well as the show auriculas delivered from  Drointon’s (UK). In Sweden you have Ray’s Perennials that you can buy them from. I would love to go and visit Ray (also an Englishman) but I don’t know if I dare to, it is going to be sooo costly. Although, I could take my Mini, then at least I have a very limited space to fill with plants.

Self-sown and Wild - IT'S BLOOMING FRIDAY!

It is Blooooming Friday again ! No 6

.

This time I have choosen the 'Wild and Self-sown'. In my kitchen garden I have this mix with herbs, veggies and flowers I have found that it is the way they prefer to grow, I get a healthy and colourful kitchengarden.

Violaceae - Pansy - Pensé in Tyra's Ornamental kitchen garden. Yes, I do think that a 'wild' kitchen garden can be ornamental!

This is a favorit, the chives Allium schoenoprasum both for beauty and food, I have read some where that it also can be used as pestcontrol.

Do you know that the flowers both pansies and chives are edible and taste delicious! Sprinkle them on a mixed green sallad, the sallad looks great and taste wonderful.


Här kommer mitt bidrag till veckans 'Blommiga Fredag Nr 6'. Blommor från min vilda köksträdgård. Gräslök och Penséer i en vild blandning med övriga grönsaker och örter. Jag har märkt att trädgården mår bra när man odlar lite 'vilt'. Mycket som självsås låter jag vara, det behöver inte vara en strikt ordning även fast jag nu kallar min potager för en ornamental köksträdgård.

Du kanske redan vet att både Pensé (Viola) blomman och gräslöksblomman (Allium schoenoprasum) är ätliga och dessutom riktigt goda om du inte visste det så vet du det nu. Strö över rikligt med blommor på salladen och njut av både skönhet och läcker smak.
Ha en trevlig helg! Kommentera gärna, jag blir så glad att höra av er alla!
