A fern (bregne) to remember!

Ferns are nice and we want to avoid upsetting them too much.


In the middle of the path around the house a fern had lived for several years.
We carefully dug it out and moved it to a perfectly shady place. Now, after a couple of weeks, it seems to thrive on it`s new location. The digging itself was pure pleasure and it showed that the trash we already picked up was not the tip of trash mountain.


Above you can see sjefens supreme digging technique.


It has started rolling out more branches and we are very optimistic about its future.
Say hello to your friends and have a nice day.

Sunflower fix and a strange cleanup session



The sunflower bed has new stones! The leca stones are now free to be used somewhere else. Haven`t got a plan for them, but i`m sure they will do more good somewhere else than looking ugly by the someday blossoming sunflowers. One of the stones has to stay for now as it is in a crucial corner protecting a drainage pocket.




Outside the kitchen window there where several plastic bags with bottles left there by someone living here years ago. Some of them had shattered by getting filled with water then frozen during the winter.
There where of course a lot of soil and leaves around the bags and there lived the biggest earthworms seen yet in the garden.






This is the earthworm Fleip-Andre. He-she is a big brother!
