Welcome to my garden

Happy Summer Solstice everyone!

Those of you who follow me on Instagram have noticed that I've spent a lot of time in my garden this spring. I prefer gardening to work out, so it's been a couple of hours. Above is a photo of one of the tulips I planted last fall. 

Winter in Sweden was unusually mild, and spring came early, so flowers and veggies are currently growing like mad. It's with mixed feelings I watch the garden grow like this, as we all know by now, it comes with a price...

My veggie garden is all in wooden containers (pallets) where I grow zucchini, potatoes, beans, lettuce and a few other goodies. The pic below is of the sugar beans today:

But, being me, I grow more than food in the pallets. 

Here are a few of the flowering bulbs from this spring:

.... but behind the scene it's just as messy and functional as ever. Have great weekend friends.

The Secret Garden

Today is the last day of July, and in Sweden that means things goes downward from here. Well, maybe not everything, but all things growing outdoors sure will. So I better make the most of today. Spend it in my garden, and smell all the amazing flowers growing there this year. I can assure you I do NOT have "green fingers" and I'm quite baffled at all the flowers and veggies growing all over the place. What happened? Who cares - I just enjoy it and take pictures of it (I need proof or my horticulturist friends wont believe me.) 

Below are a few of my iPhone shots from past weeks. Enjoy! 

So - what is summer/winter like where you are this year??
