December Frost in Garden

As an amateur photographer I find things like frost crystals, fog, mist and water are just wonderful, it is a great way to capture a bit of 'drama' into the pictures. This is 'Lucia' once again singing the final verse - of the last song of the season. This Rose has been so fantasic this year 'in floribus' for almost 6 months! In the soft sunlight of December - Lichtkönigin 'Lucia' And once

Vaccinium mytillus - Superfruit

Vaccinium mytillus a SuperfruitBlueberry is not the same as the Swedish Blåbär but they are closely related. The wild Bilberry Vaccinium mytillus is the same as Blåbär and it is a low-growing shrub and the wild or cultivated Blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum is a much taller shrub. I took this picture in the woods near my summerhouse, do you know I read somewhere that there are 250 miljon kilos of

Why Gooseberry

I wonder from where it got it´s name GOOSEBERRY? Anyway I love gooseberries and I think it´s underrated. The best way to eat them are straight from the bush as most berries are, don´t you agree? But they make a wonderful jam and very nice pies. Swiss Roll with gooseberry jam filling is delicious! Did I say that you can top it of with wipped cream....and a glass of Tokaji. Krusbär tillhör en av

Havtorn

Hippophaë rhamnoides Det här är inte Tyras trädgård för där växer det inte havtorn med frukt, jag fick en planta av min snälla granne Kerstin men den mår inte så bra, jag tror den varma sommaren gick hårt åt den. Kerstins havtorn är i allafall riktigt fina! Jag får prova igen, skam den som ger sig. Tomten här på Engarn är som gjord att ha växter som finns vilt i skärgården såsom havtorn, svensk

Röd oktober

Tänk att man skulle komma att tycka om att kratta! Det trodde jag aldrig. När jag skulle kratta vår skogstomt inne på Resarö där vi hade landställe som barn, då var det absolut värsta straffarbete man kunde få. Sakta gick det och tråkigt var det och så onödigt! inte krattar man uti skogen, jag förstod ingenting. Senare i livet blev jag bjuden till krattfest hos mina "svärföraldrar" då var jag väl

Slånbärsträd

När jag flög med min pappas kompis "Dane" Dan Sahlström förra året såg jag ett otroligt snyggt litet träd c:a 2 meter högt med en rund fin krona. Det stod alldeles utanför kontoret vid hangaret. Det hade små små blad och bar blå bär!! Liknade ett olivträd. Jag frågade Dane, vad är det där för trevligt träd? Äh... den där gamla busken, det är en gammal slånbärsbuske som jag tyckte var alldeles
