... or: On the trail in the convent garden. Armed with the Digi I've put myself on Sunday afternoon in search of clues in the convent garden. The sunshine has lured me from the desk in the garden. It must be in the garden or messy look really close, otherwise a miss many things. My first target
Zwanenburg Bronze ,
of its flowers is sure to open those days. Suspiciously eyed by my actions of a blackbird males, probably feared for his food dish.
Jacob, of past ice and snow badly shaken blossoms, but rich.
A cheerful splash of color is the yellow winter jasmine. Snowdrops and Crocus Cream Beauty bear flower heads. The roses sprout already, just spur plum flower and iris.
to bring the elves meadow of purple sprouting of valerian color to the border.
new life awakens in the variegated star umbel and Agastache, the Siberian crane's bill as the red squirrel and dwarf iris, of which I was afraid that I would have disposed of involuntarily in the renovation of the bed , driving merrily at the old seat.
Helleborus orientalis
Metallic Blue has made me very long in the first bloom. This year she has plenty of flowering stems.
forms in the plant boundary stones of the enclosure, the lemon catnip have a small bush, which has mountain mint beside it, as well as the columbine tender fresh green. In late summer last year I put some olive herb plants. They are not very hardy, this winter, but all have survived so far without damage.
Haselnußlaub comes between the woodruff to light. The place seems to like him.
The fat hen Strawberries and Cream and variegated Oktoberle stand in the wings. Troll in the Park show Lungwort Opal , spring pea and white chrysanthemum first life. To my great joy also shows the Blue Jewel Hepatica already started to flower heads.
Rispensteinbrech Sempervivum and shone in the sunlight.
Let overlooks the meadow an elf on elf the untidy bed in the afternoon sun.
Back in the apartment with fresh impetus at the desk I'm a little background noise to the loud chirping of birds to drown, would not perhaps wrong, and have the TV on. The desk was then forgotten once, for I have connected directly into the broadcast home + garden. Since there were two very nice reports.
In one report it was about the Princess Gardens in Berlin . Since summer 2009 6000 sqm rented formerly abandoned site gardened like mad. The site had to first be free of garbage. Because the soil is stressed very much, herbs and vegetables are grown in 800 bakery boxes. In 300 sacks of rice seedlings are preferred. It is gardened organically. In the princesses gardens are considered especially old and rare varieties of crops. Anyone who wants can join. This coming together very different people who enrich each other and learn from each other. I think: A great project. Too bad that Berlin is so far away ...
The 2nd Report dealt of the Eden Project in Cornwall , after an idea of the archaeologist and garden lover Tim Smits. A botanical garden, the greenhouses at the time the largest in the world.
"plants are our main lifeline ... Gardening is really important, it is more than a hobby, much more -. It is life itself"
With these words from Tim Smits I wish you all a wonderful Valentine's Day.
