august 2019 skar vi vore blommetræer ned til sokkeholderne. De gav max. 20 blommer om året tilsammen - og mindst 100 gange så mange hvepse. Alle grenene fra disse træer og en hel del andre rundt omkring fra haven, blev lavet til flis i en stor maskine, vi havde lejet. Det larmede!

Summer 2019 - the trees where my beehives were, is being cut down
and reduced to small pieces by a red monster.
|
Området her er der, hvor mine bier var - jeg skal ikke have bier
igen før det er giftfrit her i området igen - blev ryddet for hegn,
kvasbunker (de blev bare flyttet) og bistader.
 |
Spring 202, all the tiny wooden pieces are evened out, branches and stones placed decoratively
and all the seed bags with flower seeds hailing back to the last century spread over the area.
|
Om foråret blev flisen blev bredt ud, sten og træstubbe blev lagt rundt omkring,
planter fra steder hvor de ikke skulle stå - for eksempel inde i
drivhuset - blev flyttet herud, og så hældte jeg alle de poser med
blomsterfrø, der havde hobet sig op i årenes løb ud over området. Nogle
af frøposerne havde udløbsdatoer helt tilbage til det forgangne
årtusind, men nu blev de alle sammen bare hældt ud.

August 2020 gave us a lot of flowers and the wild bees and butterflies and lizards and so on loved it
|
Sådan så det ud et år senere - august 2020. Der var masser af sommerfugle, bier, firben og andre kryb og kravl, der forlystede sig her.
Og her er et par nærbilleder af nogle af de blomster, der spirede.
Sådan ser det ud nu, januar 2021:

January 2021 it looks like this. I have found more old seed-bags hidden somewhere else
for the coming year. And I have been picking wild flower seeds while biking.
|
Jeg har fundet flere frøposer til at drysse ud til foråret - de havde forputtet sig - og så har jeg også plukket frø af diverse vilde blomster på mine cykelture rundt i omegnen, blandt andet æselfoder, som jeg altid har syntes, var en imponerende plante. Og her kan den gro i fred uden at kradse nogen.

Æselfoder (Onopordum acanthium)
Scottish Thistle - one of the wild ones I took seeds from

The wood chipping beast is incredibly noisy isn't it?
SvarSletI am sorry that you had to surrender your bees and hope that you can have them again.
And how I would love to wander in your garden.
You are due my grateful thanks as well. We have had a couple of days of blissful, lifegiving rain with some more predicted. Thank you.
Yes. It was extremely noisi. We had to use heraing protections to handle it - Hubby manned the monster, all the rest of us dragged branches there to feed into it.
SletMy garden is ratehr wild all over actually, yours is much nicer I suppose - I'd like to see it live as well. Today we woke ou to snow, so maybe I'll have a Sunday Selections - snow edition by evening.
Happy to hear that the rain arrived ;) Susan's magic at work.
What a transformation. I'm surprised seeds were still good from last century. We have Scottish Thistles growing in the garden every now and then. I suspect the birds or the wind carry the seeds from one garden to another.
SvarSletGod bless.
Thank you, yes actuallly most of them were still good - of course not 100% but over 50% which surprised me as well.
SletI hope that the Scottish thistles like that I brought htm here, not a brd or the wind. I've always admired that plant.
Thistles are huge when allowed to grow, most people here pull them up as fast as they sprout.
SvarSletYou do a lot of yard work!
No, I dont. :) What you see here is the work of several people over 2 years. I'm very lazy .. and I'm writing on a post on lazy gardening rigth now. More about thistles there.
