Gardening on my allotment (garden plot)

This is just gonna be a compressed version in English of my Swedish blog about gardening.



It motivates me in my gardening to shoot photos of the progress and publish them on the internet while fresh. I also want to make the pictures available to family and friends around the world.

My intentions with the blog is to share pictures, some favourite recepies and thoughts I had while weed controling.

To be honest, weed controling (is that what you call it?) is more of a pleasure to me then harvesting (which stresses me as I get lots of work at home taking care of everything). It's almost true, except for strawberries and raspberries.

To be able to understand the swedish blog I suggest you check out my wordlist that I'm about to publish here soon and/or use a translator. Here's one I found. Makes funny sentences of course, but at least one get's a hint on what's being written.
