Hver dag klokken 12 kommer der et A-Z indlæg. Temaet er ekkoer, de løse ender, halve projekter, nye begyndelser, gyldne løfter og
lokkende udsigter. Men jeg ville ikke være Uglemor, hvis ikke der sneg
sig nye projekter og ideer ind i denne omgang A-Z også.
Ⓐ - Ⓩ
Every day at noon a new A-Z post goes live. The theme is Ecchoes, finishing touches, half done projects and endings. But I would not be me if these
posts would not contain more than a fair share of new beginnings and
plans.
K for Krydderurter = Herbs
Uglemor er en Krydderurte-ugle. Det kan ses i haven, i køkkenet og på denne tid af året i vindueskarmen. Da vi forleden dag (31. marts) var på rundtur i Haveuglens imperium, hilste vi på de overlevende persille- og havesyreplanter. De gror i det, der engang var den gamle jordbærpyramide.
Men der manglede nu noget. Der var nemlig kun kruspersille på billedet. Den glatbladede havde ikke overlevet.

MotherOwl is a Herbal Owl, this can be seen in the kitchen, in our garden, and this time of year in the window sills of the Owlery.
The other day (March 31) we took a stroll through GardenOwl's empire and saw the surviving parsley and sorrel plants, growing in what was once the strawberry pyramid. But we did not see that other parsley, the flat leaf parsley. It did not survive the winter.
Og overlevende havesyre - and surviving sorrel

Now, in MotherOwl's window sill new flat leaf parsley is growing. You can see the flat leaves.
In the second row an accident happened those are Chinese chives and Black Eyed Susans; I double planted.
Laurbær har der groet i Ugleboet i mange år. Den nuværende plante sneg sig næsten ubemærket ned i indkøbskurven og ind på bloggen her den 28. april 2012.
Siden har den overlevet skjoldluseangreb, solskoldninger og haglbyger.
I år troede Uglemor at det endelig var lykkedes hende at slå den ihjel - det er altså ikke noget hun stræber efter, det sker bare - for den stod ude i de kolde dage i februar, hvor det var under -10 grader om natten og aldrig kom over frysepunktet om dagen. Men den her er altså en overlever. Se bare. Så må vi håbe, at skjoldlusene ikke kan lide frostvejr.

A Bay laurel plant has been growing for many years in the Owlery. The present plant sneaked into MotherOwl's shopping basket, and into this blog on April 28, 2012.
Since then it has survived wax scales, sunburn and hailstorms.
Now MotherOwl thought that she finally killed it off, not deliberately of course, but such things happen. It was left out because it was never really cold, but then in February the night temperatures crept below -10 degrees and the day temperatures were sub-zero for more than a week. But this plant is a survivor. Just look at it. I sincerely hope all the wax scales have died in the frost!
Den lyserøde tandbørste klarede det også og er parat til at fjerne eventuelle overlevende skjoldlus.

The pink toothbrush is still ready for fight should the wax scales have survived the frost.

I do love finding plants which are survivors. Some of ours turn up their toes despite loving care.
SvarSletI like how you bond with the plants. Funny that you double planted. The more the merrier!

We were surprised by our plants that survived the ice storms here.
SvarSletHope all of your wonderful herbs thrive this year.
Plants are better survivors than we are and after all, they live outside most of the time while we have houses.
SvarSletHave a lovely day.
