Advarsel! Mange billeder
Warning! Pictures galore!
Sådan her ser det gamle lille krydderurtebed ud. Forrest timian, bagerst russisk esdragon, der tager i den grad overhånd. I midten var der en løvstikke, men den er vist væk nu, og til højre og venstre er der / var der purløg og persille. Men en del irriterende ukrudt, mest ranunkler, der ligner persille, og en aggresiv mynte har næsten overtaget den del.

The old, small herbal bed. In front thyme and behind tarragon (Russian variety) has gone rampant. In the middle was a big lovage, now gone, parsley and chives. They're all overgrown by some pesty plants, mostly Buttercups that look like parsley, and an agressive mint plant.
Det nye, store krydderurtebed, der her er i gang med at blive luget, er overbegroet af græs, skovjordbær, oregano og mere mynte. Uglemor graver en lille bid op ad gangen, flytter persille og purløg hen i nederste venstre hjørne, og samler løvstikkerne, der står i hele haven, i øverste venstre hjørne. Planen er at flytte alle timianplanterne herhen også, og en lille smule af esdragonen, men den kommer vist ned i det kloakrør, løvstikken groede i i det lille urtebed.
Det store hul er Ugleungerne, der forlyster sig.

Ramsons (Allium ursinum) in yet another beet. Wonder whether they can grow in the herbal bed as well?

One of the recurring Spring chores is the removal of buds infected by the blackcurrant bud mite. In this picture the big, rotund infected bud stands out from the two normal ones. Every time we pass the blackcurrant bush, we look for big buds. They're thrown to the hens to eat.
De her skønheder står oppe på vores terrasse og tager forksud på foråret.

These pretties are pretending Spring is already here. They have found a nice warm corner on the terrace.
Inde i vores vindueskarm er der en plantebørnehave. De to potter her indeholder perilla og kinapurløg. Det er forhåbentlig den røde shiso, der er spiret. Der skete nemlig et lille uheld med en Ugleunge og de kulørte pinde.

Meanwhile inside plants are sprouting. In this photo pots with perilla and garlic chives. I sincerely hope that it is the red perilla sprouting, as the coloured stiks shows. But there was a small incident involving an unnamed Owlet and these sticks, so maybe not ...
En lille overraskelse er bladene på chiliplanten til højre. Den er en chili med små røde, perleformede, chilier. De smagte ikke spændende som tørede, men måske er de gode friske, og hvis ikke, så ser planten da lovende ud.

A surprise amon the other inhabitants of the seeding tray is the rigthmost one. It looks like a purple chili plant. The seeds are taken from small pearlshapded red chilis. They were not very interesting dried, but maybe fresh tey're better, and even if not the aestetic value of a red chili plant migth convince us to keep it.
