Village Fools...

Happy Midsummer.

Today is the Swedish Midsummer, so happy midsummer guys!
I am currently sitting here eating breakfast, trying to make up my mind if I'm going to meet up with my family out by a summer sea village to celebrate it or not. The weather guys have said that it's going to pour down with rain and thunder in a bit so yay for that. But I just love that village and I would like to get some nice photos there. Hmm I don't know. Maybe I go, maybe not. Either way I have to wake myself up with a bit of coffee now. I hope you all have a great day, midsummer or not! 

Don't do it! Todays warning!

If you see this cute little banner on a page for Easyplant... Don't buy anything from them! Don't do it! I have been there and I have made the misstake. But now I have learned... It started about 4 years ago, we had heard about easyplant and that they had a very nice selection of plants. Well so far so good. So we ordered... The first year 2 plants came here dead, well not a big deal that can happen to anyone right? We then got 2 new plants and we were happy. Next year we ordered again. This time we got dead plants again. Not a big deal or so we tought! After about 6 emails and we don't even know how many phonecalls later we got money but not our money back. Oh no we got money to buy something next year. Well we didn't wanted to give them the money so we did ordered again this year but only for they money that we had with them. Well guess what? We got dead plants! Then they were reaaally hard to get a hold of. Finally I got to talk to one of their staff this thursday and she said that "Oh you will have your plants next week." Well easyplant I belive that when I see it! And then I am never ever going to shop there again! This is insane! So please take my warning do not buy anything from easyplant, your plants will be dead and you will get gray hairs trying to get ahold of them!

The start is only the beginning.

Every year it's the same thing, trying to remeber what we used in the pots and what we planted last year. Did we put the tulips over there? Is that weed or is it some fancy flower? What did we buy for the front entrance to the house? Last year I borrowed my brothers camera and walked around taking pictures of everything we had done that year. Do you think it helped? Not really.. Now it's more "Do you think that this little green thing is that flower in the picture there?" Oh the joy of having a garden in the spring. Next year I'm gonna grow stuff on a balcony.

Summer in April.

The weather the last couple of days have been insane. We have wished for spring for such a long time now and over easter we got it...and then some. In our greenhouse it has been over 30 degrees celsius! But I am not complaining. Oh no! Far from it! I love it, I have spent the weekend amongs the plants working on my book. I have heard that it's both good for the brain and the tan haha. We have also got our entire patio washed and boy was that needed. I had no idea that it was made out of wood (okey I did but it's cleaner wood now). Today we are gonna get some raised plantbeds built, I can't wait for that. This is such a fun time of the year, this is when it all starts. Well I am off to easterlunch with fresh bread, harring and eggs!
