Pansies are doing well in the balcony. Bought them already few weeks ago. During some of the nights the temperature still goes below the freezing point but the pansies are used to the cold by now and do not mind. Sometimes they even survive the harsh winters up here. Need to buy some more to…

It has been sunny and blue skies for several days up here in the north. We even went over 20 Celsius degrees which is warm for this time of the year. I cannot even remember when I have had a begonia in my balcony. Just love the shiny colors that have been bred so bright…

We have had few sunny days up here in the north. It is a bit early but could not resist buying few violas to the balcony even though we still have some snow on the ground. This year winter came with plenty of snow and it has taken a while to melt. Good thing is…

Autumn is here and my stonecrop flowers are turning red and birches are starting to drop their leaves. Temperature is slowly dropping and it rains more often.

Cooler weather finally arrived with rains. Bringing strong winds that give hard times to the blooming Atoms. The winds have been so hard that most of my dahlias are now gone. This has not been a very good year for gardening but at least it has been warm and sunny.

It is Sunny Boy’s time to bloom. The blooms are a bit smaller than I expected but that is due to the long dry season we are having. Thunder storms are now cooling the air and giving us incredible shows. Also bringing the much needed rains. Autumn is now close and soon we will miss…

Windsor is the last of the garden phloxes to bloom but goes well with the white ones. Tried to find new colors from the garden shop I visited but the hot July has made all the saplings dry and shaggy. I guess I buy more in the spring. This July was the hottest one ever…

The late lilies are starting to bloom. The Red Flavour has done well up here in the north and bloomed faithfully over the years. This year I am experimenting a new color and hopefully it will do as well as the red. It has taken years but now I have lilies in each and every…

We are already enjoying the garden phloxes up here in the north. My grandma always had garden phloxes blooming in her garden. Then we lost them for decades but luckily got some from a neighbor. White ones are doing well and introduced a new color last year but it seems to be a late bloomer…
