First I would like to ask you for some help with two things.
1. Vasi from Romania has a problem to enter The greenhouse...I cannot find any problem from here, I can see it perfectly. Could you please check that from me. I can you get in?
2. The other thing is just a question. Do you know that a potager is? You do not have to explain it, just a simple yes/no is OK.
Update 2010-11- 28 I guess the greenhouse works just fine after all, but if you have a certain virus software (Avast) you get a alert note.

This plant has many other names:
Aegopodium podagraria, Bishop's weed, Ground elder, Herb gerard, Goutweed and it is commonly called Kirskål in my native tongue.
Love or Hate, what do you feel about it?
The Snow-in-the-mountain is one of the most loathed weed we have in our gardens. In some places regarded as an ecological threat. Still I think it is very beautiful and often use it in summer bouquets and remember it is edible. The Ground elder can be added to salads or cooked like spinach.
