Window shopping

We should do something about Vårkulla's windows. They hardly manage to stay put. I love the design and the old glass that makes all kinds of weird reflections but I don't love the fact that you almost can't touch the frames...

Not only flowers

I love colourful flowers but I also like hostas. They are great for any place with a little shadow. Don't put them in the sunniest place of the garden!

Yellow makes you mellow

All yellow in the spring is not a dandelion. There were a lot of these yellow primulas here at Vårkulla when we bought the place. I have moved them from the grass to the borders and they thrive.

Evening rain

Can't hate the rain, garden looks amazing after a couple of showers!

Romance in the garden

Pink azaleas and lace metal chairs, it doesn't get much more romantic than this.

Have an orange (garden)

The japanese quince (Japaninruusukvitteni) is a great bush for spring - it has bright orange flowers that light up the garden.These also make fruits but you'll need two bushes.The only trouble with quinces is that the hares love them. For some reason they left my quince alone this year and I got to enjoy the fabulous flowers.

Celebrating apple blossoms

It is apple blossom time - this week should be a national holiday!
