Garden Bloggers' Blooms Day

At last spring is here and we can all go out in the garden and enjoy all the lovely blooms. Suddenly our brownish grey 'winter gardens' turns to green and the flowers adds spashes of colour. Everything happens so fast now and you can almost see the grass grow. Now is the time to tidy up the Potager and prepare the beds for the coming growing season. I made a new 'fence' of some sticks and small branches for my peas to climb on, I love to work with the willow. Everything looks rather neat and tidy now and I'm ready to plant :-)....my poor body is aching though. Ahww

HERE COMES THE SUN - the sun of spring

In yesterdays post I wrote about LOVE an ABC post in the Greenhouse and to go with it I had a great song from the Beatles 'All you need is love' and today another one came to my mind 'Here comes the sun'. This small messenger that tells us that the spring is here and it looks just like a perfect sun to me. About YESTERDAY why not take that one as well..

or should I LET IT BE? I just love that one, one of the best.

COLTSFOOT Tussilago farfara

Coltsfoot is a perennial herbaceous plant that spreads by seeds and rhizomes. Tussilago is often found in colonies of dozens of plants. The flowers, which superficially resemble dandelions, appear in early spring before dandelions appear. The leaves, which resemble a colt's foot in cross section, do not appear usually until after the seeds are set. Thus, the flowers appear on stems with no apparent leaves, and the later appearing leaves then wither and die during the season without seeming to set flowers. The plant is typically between 10 - 30 cm in height. From wikipedia.

Tussilago - kärt barn har många namn säjs det.

Den här lilla godingen hittade jag på väg hem från jobbet i lördags, en enda liten tussilago men oj vad glad jag blev! Vårens budbärande.

'Den tidigast blommande svenska örten; då går tjälen ur marken, snön smälter i skuggan, isen lossnar på floderna, grodan kväker i kärren, trasten sjunger i skogen, orren spelar på ljungen och ärlan bebådar Floras ankomst.' Carl von Linne'

This is the new small building project for Tyra's Garden 2009

...

-..

I'm going to build myself a theater. A theater for my Auriculas. I love to design and build all kind of things in wood and when I saw this Auricula Theater in Gothenburg last summer I just fell in love with it. In this picture you can see that is not Auriculas that are on display, I think there where Geraniums actually and that works excellent too don't you think? Perhaps I shall just call it a Plant Theater instead.

...

I can imagine it would look great with just green plants too. Hedera, Sedums and Sempervivums to mention a few.

What do you think isn't just lovely?

Den här underbart söta lilla teatern för Auriculas såg jag förra sommaren på ett besök hos Trädgårdsföreningen. Trädgårdsföreningen i Göteborg Jag blev helt kär i den och nu har jag bestämt att en sådan får det bli. Då har jag alltså spikat hihi ett litet snickeriprojekt för 2009.
