Søndagsbillede :: Rødder & Månedens farve

Sunday Selection :: Roots & Colour of the Month

Nu har jeg luget adskillige bede, og det er gået op for mig at jeg kan genkende de fire slemme ukrudter i min have på rødderne alene.
 - - - - -
Now I have weeded several beds, and I have realised that I can recognise the four bad weeds in my garden by their roots alone.

     Her har jeg i bedste politi-stil sløret forbrydernes ansigter og givet en beskrivelse. Kan du genkende dem. Prøv engang,  løsningen er længere nede på siden.

     Here, in best police style, I have blurred the faces of the criminals and added a description. Do you recognise them? Give it a try - the solution is further down the page.

Gule rødder, seje og lange, med håragtige siderødder - 1 - Yellow roots, thin, hairy, long not breaking
Skøre, hvide, tykke og snoede rødder med siderødder - 2 -  Brittle! white, thick, branching, and convoluted roots.
Lige, seje rødder opdelt i sektioner - 3 - straight, tough and in sections

Lige, let gullige rødder, deler sig lige inden jordoverfladen, solidere end nummer 2 - 4 - Straight roots, only branching near the surface, yellowish, not as brittle as  2

Og her er de så blevet afsløret. Navnene på dem står under billedet

Now unmasked. Their names are below the photo.
Brændenælde - 1 - Stinging nettle
Snerle - 2 - Bindweed
Kvikgræs - 3 - Quick grass
Skvalderkål - 4 - Ground elder

Og selvom det er en formildende omstændighed at forbryderne har månedens farve - majgrøn - ender de nu alligevel som hønsefoder.

Even though it is a mitigating circumstance that the criminals are the colour of the month - May green - they will still end up as chicken feed.

    1. Uha, jeg er kun gennem 2 af 5 bede, og det var oven i købet de letteste - jeg fik hold i ryggen, da jeg startede . Men ellers, jo det er win-win - og herligt at du gad lege med.

    1. They are the ones having all the fun ;) pecking and scratching their way through buckets and buckets of weeds.

  3. That's a nice way to use the colour of the month. I forgot to last week. The chickens will give lovely tasty egs from all those greens.

    1. They do, they just began laying tiny starter-eggs, and the yolks are wonderfully yellow from all the weeds.

    2. PS. Colour of the month is not compulsori - Even I have not used it once a week :D

  4. Even the weeds have a use, don't they.

    1. If nothing else, then chicken feed or compost (thistles, hensbane)
