We’ve had a rather wonderful day today. Sunny with the occasional cloud until the afternoon when more clouds arrived but it is still pretty nice and warm outside. Also the night was frost free, which is a bit odd since the sky was clear and usually clear nights this early in the year means nightly frost.

I wish the doe could have just stayed there but of course not. I did however manage to distract Alma so that she didn’t see it run away.

We went out on our morning walk a bit later than normal, I did wake up by myself but that didn’t mean I wasn’t really tired all morning πŸ™‚ They have started to show the great moose migration now so I watched that for a while (for those of You who don’t know what this is, it’s cameras stationed at the same place every year showing how moose migrate north when winter is over. We also see a lot of other animals of course and this is called slow tv), somethingΒ  they do every year and the fun thing is that I can hear the same kind of birds singing through the tv as I can if I open the door πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

After that I’ve sown some more seeds, annuals outdoors because they’ll germinate when they feel it is the right time and some berry plant seeds that still need to stay indoors until we know the risk of night frost is over. I also dug up a Wisteria. I thought it died three winters ago but it resurrected last summer and grew terrible fast and slid up beneath the tiles on the roof. I really can’t have that so today I cut it down. I managed to get two big pieces of roots with a climbing stalk on each and thought why not plant them where they’ll do no harm?

I planted one beside the crabapple tree with the big magpie nest. We call wisteria here for Blue Rain so I planted it beside the tree we call Gold Rain, The Laburnum. I could work all by myself without the dogs because my neighbors little daughter has her birthday today and lots of people would come. Since Albin and Alma really can’t behave, Albin would run up and down beside the fence huffing and puffing while Alma would start barking and then jump over the fence so she can bark a bit more before jumping back to star all over again πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ So I said that I’ll bring in the dogs while people will be arriving, my neighbors thought it was unnecessary because they all love dogs but I said that today none of us on this side of the fence would be the center of attention after all πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I think I’ll make myself a cup of tea and have some of my home made ice cream. First however I’ll give the dogs their food, they are standing beside me demanding it right now πŸ™‚

Have a great day!!Β

  1. Hi Christer,
    I love to read about your gardening exploits. I am always jealous. Every year I buy new flowers which are pretty expensive. I should learn to raise my own from cuttings, but I fear I am too lazy. I have to buy all the plants for the deck bozos. Most are usually herbs.

    Many perennials are now above ground in the front garden. I am always glad to see them. I thin I need a new lilac bush. The small one I have isn’t looking good. I’ll have to keep an eye for the flowers.

    My backyard is loaded with lilies of the valley. I’m okay with that as the dogs are always back here. Te original plants came from my parents’ house.

    Take care!

    1. Hi Kat!

      Well garden centers need customers too πŸ™‚ I would have loved to have a customers like You!

      Lilacs tends to be nasty weeds almost impossible to get rid of but there are of course some varieties that won’t spread that much. The Hungarian one is quite nice that way and it doesn’t smell that strong either, something I like a lot πŸ™‚

      Lilies of the valley dies here. I had one struggling for a couple of years but it’s long gone by now πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      Have a great day!

      Christer.
