Come and have a look at our garden now, when the weather is good. So without any rain. It still feels like autumn. It's getting normal for weeks now to be in a low pressure area where it's raining all day for more days.
It has been growing so much (because of all the rain 🙈), it's unbelievable. The good thing is that our grass is looking green again. At some places it's too much. So we have some damms on places where we never had one. Some plants had difficult years before because of the dryness, but are flowering fantastic now. And guess what, I never scored sooo much Cantharelles as this year (on a very secret place of course. Or blueberries and wild raspberries, plenty of them. Good news when you like them, like me.
But at the other side: now I can't stop weeding and cutting the grass on the moments when it's dry, when I'm ready in the back I can start in the front again. So hard times when you travel sometimes...
On the former empty fireplace we have been planting Lathyrus, Hollyhock (Stokrozen or Stockrosor) and Tobacco plants between the Sweet Williams (Duizendschoon or Borstnejlikor) this spring (you can see it in the July post). Now the plants grow more then 2 meter high.... The Sweet Williams started flowering, later the Lathyrus started followed by the Tobacco. The final is these weeks for the Hollyhocks.

We should like to welcome your and show your around. So you can see the results of hard working yourself. We like to meet you in our garden, while you enjoy an outdoor fika (coffee and a homemade cake).
Don't you have the opportunity to visit us this weekend? Or maybe it's too bad weather? No worries, we will be open next weekend too!
