I want to wish you all a Happy 4yh of July, I know how important this day is for you in the USA.












As you can see June is a rose month. My whole garden is smelling of roses now !
Have a great week all ! And thanks for your visit !


It is almost the end of May and it is still cold and very wet. Nature is very happy with all the rain ofcourse but flowers and blooms are way behind . Despite all that I do have some flowers in bloom in my garden.








We have a long weekend cos of Pentecost, so I guess many of you have a long weekend too. So have a great weekend all ! And enjoy the sun when she shines.




I love yellow flowers in the garden, they brighten the whole garden, even on days when the sun don’t shine.
April was cold and the forcast for the next 2 week isn’t much better, except for the rain that is comming. The garden can do with a lot of rain. But I am looking forward to nice warm days, soon I hope.

I have a LOT of appleblossom this year. I have 2 appletree’s, one had no flowers at all last year, they other one just a few, so no apples in the end. This year I am really hopeful. I’ll keep you posted and let you know how it is going as there is a lot that can go wrong. I did give them dried cow’s manure last year, maybe they needed it.
Have a great day and enjoy the sun if you have a sunny day.

When I was walking in my garden I found this little cute viola who selfseeded in a pot with succulents. I couldn’t resist to take a picture of it.
The weather is still too cold for the time of the year but when the sun is out and you find a place out of the cold wind, it is nice to sit in the garden with a cup of tea and look at all the work that still needs to be done….but it’s the little things like this viola that makes me happy as well.


I covered my fig during Winter, when we got our first beautiful Spring days I removed the coverings. Then all of a sudden we got a few unexpected nightfrosts and my fig tree took a beating, frozen tiny figs, frozen leafbuds…. But now it is slowly recovering and leafbuds are opening and here and there I finds tiny figs. The one above is the biggest. I fear I won’t have a lot of figs this year, as the first batch were frozen. But hey, my fig tree is still alive !
Have a great weekend !
