Det er forår, alting springer ud .... Der er gået planter i den. Jeg skrev for noget tid siden at hvis jeg skulle have en hobby var det at have venner på besøg til god mad, det er også et godt bud. Men jeg har opdaget at jeg faktisk har en lille hobby - min have. Til stor morskab for min kære mand, som har brugt meget krudt på at fortælle mig om sin barndoms traumatiske oplevelse i al Englands plantecentre med forældre og lille bror, om ikke bare interesserer sig for planter, men som også kan deres latinske navne ;-)

Sidst sommer var jeg på besøg i Tine og Jens' kolonihave og der så jeg den flotteste valmue, en meget stor og kraftig staude. I sidste uge fik jeg så frø af den - Tine var lidt i tvivl om om de ville spire når de nu var så gamle. Duncan købte et mini "drivhus" (som han har set Jean, hans mor, have). Og så i dag - sørme om der ikke er kommet spirer frem! Hurra! Så nu kan jeg vente spændt på at se om de bliver til mere end det. Jojo.

I sidste weekend var jeg på retræte en 30 km. nord for Vejle i et meget smukt område - og der tog jeg en blå bunddække blomster ting med hjem - jeg ved ikke hvad den hedder, men den er pæn. Og jeg så skovsyre blomstre, noget jeg aldrig før har oplevet.

Glædeligt forår!

It really has become almost summer! And I have nothing but plants on my mind - almost. A while back I wrote my hobby might be to have friends around for dinner - that might also be true. But I've discovered that I do have a little hobby: my garden. Both my little balcony and the one at the House. This is a great amusement for Duncan, who has gone into great detail in telling about the traumatising visits to varius garden centres across England with his parents and his brother. Who doesn't only like plants but even know their latin names ;-)
Last summer I went to visit Tine and Jens in their little garden, and saw the most beautiful poppy. Big and quite robust. Last week Tine gave me seeds from it, although she had some doubts whether they would sprout, seeing as they were fairly old. Duncan went to buy this little miniature "´green house" (which he'd seen Jean use). And then - today - there's little tiny sprouts. Hooray! So now I'm all excited to see what will come of them.

Last weekend I went away on a retreat in a very nice woodland area. And I took home some blue flowers from the forest floor. I have no idea what they're called. Also I saw these little plants, that taste sour (I don't know their name in English) in flower. Something I've never seen before. Happy spring!
