My garden On the wall at the entrance, I have two rows of stacked pots. It is a big pot at the top and at the bottom, in between six small pots. The plants are growing nicely together like a mat on the wall. Here we go clockwise around the house. We have just passed the garage door and rounded the corner and come to the flower bed nearby the street. Here, we have made a new edge around the flower beds with concrete blocks. The grass between the flower bed by the wall and out on the lawn ends with stone plates where the flower beds meet. The blocks are the type you just stack on each other without fixing them with mortar. An extra layer at the rear edge of the flower bed gives extra height. The small concrete blocks on the outside of the wall is to make the mowing more easy. This was what the flower bed looked like before we changed it. The wooden edge around the bed was rotten at several points and was in urgent renovation needs. Now we move along the trench edge. Here are two young hedges.  A low curved hedge of pink flowering Birch-leaved Spirea is visible behind the Saskatoon berry hedge which also bends in the same direction. Closest to us is a young ornamental apple tree which we planted as a friend to the old apple tree (which is not on this picture). Here you can see the low hedge from the other side and the old ornamental apple tree behind. The old ornamental apple tree is in full bloom. The branches is all white of flowers. From the small apples i cook the most delicious apple-sauce I have ever tasted. If you go inside the two hedges you come to the little garden pond located in front of the long flower bed in the slope from the house. Above grows a hedge with Grefsheim spirea. Here we can see how the greenhouse is squeezed in between the wooden wall and the border of our lot. I plant flowers in a bunch of hanging baskets in the spring. Some of them I give to my friends and many of them I use myself. When I get too many I just hang them in the trees. It often tend to be five or six who are placed in this way. Much-needed rest after all hard work in the garden. It's very comfortable with a mobile hammock that can be placed wherever you want. Now we have moved closer to the greenhouse and are looking back in the direction we came from. To the left we see the hopeless overcrowded flower bed that needs a big face-lift. The soil needs to be improved and I want to change the edge in the front and make it higher so the flower bed don't lean so much. In the middle there is a slate stone staircase. Between the steps there grows Creeping Thyme and Maiden Pink. The Snowdrop Windflower in the middle of the image is a miserable flower almost as a weeds that is very hard to get rid of but oh so beautiful when it flowers. In the spring the Mountain Phlox looks like a pink carpet on the rocks. Now we go up the stairs and see what's closer to the house. On the trellis I always hang too many hanging baskets, but where else should I hang them? The trees are already full of them. Here is my husband, reading in the corner. A few years ago I made ten squared flower boxes. The problem was just to find somewhere to place them, henceforth, I will not have as many wooden boxes on the terrace. Three of them have now moved home to my mother. Here is the by the way a picture of me measuring up the wood that will be the handles on the flower boxes. Fortunately I have always liked wooden work. If I would buy the boxes, it would have cost a small fortune. I get the wood for free from my dear father. He owns a small household sawmill. Furthest out on the terrace is a hole in the brick wall. Here I usually grow trailing flowers. The only problem is that the wind blows a little too much here. Now we have passed the corner and is on the back side of the house. Here you can see all of my compost and a small toolshed. If you stand with your back against the brick wall you can see down to the municipality meadow where we have put our barbecue place up. We mow a large part of the meadow, and may use it as we wish as long as we don't put up any building on it. A barbecue is not a building! It grows very well in the pallet collars. Now we have passed the little cabin and is now on the north side of our house. Here I have planted a short hedge of cherry bushes. We will see if there are any berries to pick in a few years. Behind the hedge grows a gooseberry bush. On the north side there is a newly built flower bed. We have used the same type of concrete blocks around the edge as the flower bed on the road side. A birdbath that I casted in concrete. Here is our little sweet shed, which is always full of stuff. Now we are back at the entrance. Here is the newly built bicycle parking place. I was so tired of dragging the bicycles back and forth each time I would cut the grass. Now it's fixed!
