My garden in Finland 2025

[Saliha]

Hello friends Saliha here!

I finally got new phone with quite good camera with it so now I can share some gardening photos.

I decided make new thread as my old gardening thread is so old.

It s still quite early in here as just a week ago here was snowing but now its almost 20 C here. My little garden is now wakening up and not much to see. Or eat but soon...

Now I can see some rhubarbs are coming to the light.

Tomato plants are still growing indoors, waiting warmer weather will come:

It´s a time of flowers of apple trees.

No room left for new herbs at this year. I need to find new place for new ones from somewhere. This one is full.

(spearmint, marjoram, chives, lemon balm)

Lovage

Tomatoes

Daisies have spread wildly in my garden.

 

[QSis]

I envy your marjoram! I far prefer it to oregano and have gone to 5 garden centers to find a small pot of it - no one has any at all this year!

And chives! I've had millions of them come up every year, all over the place. Until last year. NONE! Have no idea why. The garlic chives came back, but not the regular garden chives, which I like better.

We have had here extremely cold June. A lot of raining and day temperatures about 15 C, nights even colder than that. Not good for the gardening. My plants are still alive but not much growing.

Fortunately at least daisies grow well. These ones have invaded the whole backyard.

The rhododendron has less flowers than usually but a lot of new leaves are coming.

 

[Sass Muffin]

I love daisies!

I love daisies!

Me, too! I bought some last week and they still look brand-new!

At this year I have a lot of poppies in my garden and thats great as I love them. As I have had poppies during many years, they nowadays self-seed themselves. Where ever they like to grow.

I love poppies, too, and grew a few last year. I was hoping they would self-seed, but nope.

Yours are gorgeous, Saliha!
