Horsesh*t and fresh mould

Gardening is dirty business. We have been building six composters into the cottage garden during last five years. One of the neighbours gave us two years ago lots of manure for free, and now it was time to mix it with fresh compost... and wash hands carefully afterwards!

Amusement Park in Spring

Soap Bubbles, smoked salmon and asparagus in the garden

May 1st is a national holiday in Finland and it is perfect time to celebrate spring. Long gloomy winter makes Finns party hard, and surely, we really did that... until 4 a.m. !

So, on Saturday we were soooooo lazy and took our aching bodies out to the garden in the afternoon to have a little picnic with good Spanish cava. Riitta made some soap bubbles, and Lumi just went grazy.
