Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003. Love the outdoor life, gardening and sailing especially. View my profile

GBBD - November in Tyra's Garden

This post 'GBBD- November' was originally uploaded by Tyra in the blog Tyra's Garden


GBBD - November


The flowers are getting hard to find these days, after several night with frost where are just some very brave roses that are still in bloom outside, the 'Lucia' and the explorer from Canada 'John Davis'. In the greenhouse I have more flowering blooms and even a gigantic chili plant, however the fruits are still green but I hope they will turn to the colour of red for Christmas that would be appropriate.


Pansy Violaceae in the greenhouse



the last rose...



Just a few treasures still flowering in my garden and greenhouse on this November GBBD. You find more GBBD posts from all over the world if you visit Carol at May Dream Gardens

October started out with harsh winds and some tough cold days with frost at night. It is slowing down in the garden, the harvest is thinning out although I still find some late 'treasures' in the potager. It's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day once again and thanks to Carol of May Dreams Gardens, we get to see all the lovely in gardens around the world and what is 'in floribus' just now, fascinating isn't it.

John Davies
One of the last roses...I think, you never know

Auricula
This Auricula is generally a spring flower, but this Primula auricula one just wanted to get some fresh autumn air.


Geramiums in the greenhouse


The Cichorium has been 'in floribus' in my potager since June



Gerbera in the greenhouse, I think a wonderful splash of colour ...


Kaprifol

This Honeysuckle is a cutting I took from the mother plant in July and it spreads a wonderful fragance in the greenhouse at the moment.



Here comes the sun tadadada... (I'm singing the Beatles song) Calendula officinalis is another 'sun' in the potager, self sown, I like that, here in good company with the parsley.

and the last picture is of my monk in the potager 'Franciscus cupani'



That's all folks!

Up up and away...

The gherkins are coming along fine in the greenhouse, it is really fascinating to see them grow, they cling on to almost everything or anything. The tomatoes are getting quite tall as well. I had too many plants this year again :-) ... so I have been giving away a lot of tomatoes to friends and neighbours.



Outside the potager I have tulips, both old faithful friends and new acquaintances, these are new, I think they are very cute. Especially from above. I did save the label with the name but I cannot find it right now...silly girl.

same tulips...with the wood behind.


May is full of all the gorgeous fruit tree flowers this is from my Blackthorn (topiary)
When I was out earlier tonight it was actually snowing white petals from the cherry blossoms.

Garden Bloggers' Blooms Day - Potager

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
