Spring kicked in the other day. I couldn’t help myself and started gardening.
I sowed a tray of early greens – mizuna and mibuna.

Found an abandoned tractor tire ring

To dig in.


For a raspberry bush.

I’ve also started my spring trimming and pruning along with the regular late winter/early-spring stuff like making miso, sauerkraut and marmelade.
And I’m also planning for a trip to the saturday farmers market in Uppsala this weekend.
As if I didn’t have enough digging to do, I dig a pool by hand, or should I say by foot.

I started this project about 10 years ago, but since we have gotten an unlimited supply of farm water we don’t really need it for that, so it’s been at a stand still for a few years. Now with plenty of time on hand, I am back into it again. More as a landscape feature (garden art) now.


The spiral down-ramp is taking form, but there is quite a bit more to do.
The dirt mound grows.

When the digging is done, the mound will be shaped and planted with grass.
Still life on the deck
For the big garden party today.

Many artists are already here to set up their projects
My own project – The Zen Dirt Garden
Carefully weeded and cultivated!
The garden partybis a good ocassion to do some extra weeding. One crop circle is looking spiffy anyway.
We didn’t have one last year, but we decided to have another Big Garden Party at Timogarden in Djurby. As usual lots of food, activities, fun, art and music. Everyone is welcome!
Less than 3 weeks to go.

From an earlier year;
Soaking up heat!
And radiating it back out.
Somewhat ephemeral
Happy New Year!
This year we got a storm. Alfrida came and picked up the ‘geodesic dome’ Jens built as an art project at our garden party 2 years ago.
And put it down 10 meters away with a crash.
It was well anchored, we thought. Oh well – ephemeral it is.
