Den dovne gartner - The Lazy Gardener

English subtitles once again.
     Uglemor har en have, En forholdsvis stor have oven i købet, men Uglemor er ikke struktureret, og ofte kommer der noget i vejen, når der skal laves havearbejde. Undslupne høns, forslåede skinneben, nedbrudte vasketøssnore eller andre mere kedelige ting som pollenallergi, influenzaer og andre sygdomme. Derfor er der meget ukrudt i Uglemors have. Den er for at sige det mildt, vild. Men det er der også nogen, der er glade for.
MotherOwl is a lazy gardener. Her garden is unkempt, even wild.
As can be seen from this snow covered photo all the summer's withered
flowers and herbs still stand around.

     Se, hvor mange afblomstrede stauder og krydderurter, der står rundt omkring. Der fleste af dem er fulde af frø, og der er fugle der gerne vil spise af dem. Gråspurve og skovspurve tager sig af oreganofrøene, stillidserne spiser frøene fra de væmmeligt stikkende karteboller, der kun får lov til at stå fordi bier og sommerfugle elsker dem om sommeren og stillidserne om vinteren. Uglemor fjerner dem, der står alt for meget i vejen.
     Hvem der spiser frøene af klokken 8-blomsterne vides ikke, men spist bliver de.
But someone are happy that MotherOwl is not cleaning the garden.
In summer bees and butterflies drink deeply from the nectar.
And in the winter the goldfinches eat the seeds.
These are the reason why MotherOwl does not simply pull them all up.


Her er et par sommerfugle fra i sommers.

  1. Not lazy but generous.
    And yes, there are always weeds in my garden too, and beings which benefit from my neglect.
    I adore your butterflies too. Ephemeral magic.

    1. Thank you. There are weeds, I could do without - ground elder for one - but most of them are good for something. I keep them down, not away.
      Butterflies are wonderful, but so hard to get photos of.
