Almost everything us sown and planted and coming up fine. This crop circle is watered, weeded, cultivated and covered too. There is more to be done in the others, but it’s quite early still. I seem to be on top of all the chores for once (if I don’t think about it too much).

Have a good Midsummer Nights Dream!

This picture is from summer solstice and now it is winter solstice. The weather is not much different today except cloudy.

The first advent saturday is special at the Fyristorg Market. We have some pumpkins left and fermented vegies, but the main attraction is the apple cakes and various kinds of pumpkin pies.

And others have all sorts of Christmas foods and goods.

Our friend Agnes brought us a tree from her horticulture school.

It’s a himalaya birch.

Now it’s in the ground, watered and tied up for support with the best possible horticultural guidance.

It is now officially announced: The Uppsala Fermentation Day

Same place as last year – at the Culture Oasis.

We’ll be there selling our fermentations and I’ll give a demonstration on how to make your own miso at home.

Ya, I’m getting into it. Doing the fall digging for next spring is one of my favorite garden chores

A little bit of yesterddys mowed grass doesn’t hurt.

A lot people prioritise things like bigger, faster, mostest and firstest or more money and less work. Not me, quite the opposite – fun, rest, beauty, artistry and recreation (work) are top priority. I get a lot more profit that way.

Not to speak of the health benefits of dirt, and of course the wonderful smell of fresh turned dirt.

We have plenty of time to get ready for the big garden party.
