Oxalis and a Secret Tool ~ Oxalis og mit hemmelige værktøj

Jeg havde købt nogle oxalis-løg. Hele tre små i en lille potte. Men jeg ville ikke plante de små løg i den bittelille potte. De fyldte den næsten ud allerede.

I bought some oxalis bulbs. This tiny pot contained three bulbs, and they almost filled it up already. No way I was going to plant them in there.

Min løsning blev denne her potte - med et hjemmelavet planteskilt.

My solution was this. With a home made plant tag.

Vi får lige et billede af skiltet

We need a close up of the tag.

Jeg fabrikerede det her skilt af en gammel konservesdåse ude på køkkenbordet. Det kan kun lade sig gøre på grund af mit hemmelige værktøj: Jans ingen ballade-plade.

I made the tag from an old tin can on my kitchen table. This is only possible due to my secret tool: Jan's no trouble-board.
    Denne her. Den er lavet af en gammel skabslåge og to lister efter idé fra Jan.
    I den røde cirkel kan man se nogle sort-blå pletter og et nyt borehul - spor efter dagens idé.


This here board. It's made from an old kitchen cabinet door and two lengths of wood. The inspiration of course come from a friend named Jan.

Inside the red circles, traces from today's work can be seen, blue-black smudges and a new drill hole.

  2. That's a handy board to have. Both my ex husbands decided a teatowel over the coffee table was enough protection. My poor coffee table 😢
    Oxalis is a weed over here.

    1. A teatowel is so not enough. That's why I'm happy that my friend Jan showed me his no trouble-board.
      Oxalis a weed ;) And here I strive to make them thrive and survive the winter - by the way they are edible, the thick roots from those with big, fat roots can be eaten like daikon, and the flowers and leaves in salads and on cakes ;)

  4. I love the little plant sign, and admire your no trouble board. I'll keep that in mind for future if I am trying any similar crafts. (I have good intentions but poor execution!)

  5. I also have better intentions than executions ;) Nice way of putting it.
