Tai parempi varmaan sanoa ett\u00e4 olen ollut melkein k\u00e4\u00e4nteinen viherpeukalo. Tykk\u00e4\u00e4n kukista, mutta en ole erityisen hyv\u00e4 kukka-asioissa eik\u00e4 minulla\u00a0ole ikin\u00e4 ollut omaa pihaa tai puutarhaa. Olen koko aikuisen ik\u00e4ni asunut kerrostalossa <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>(jotenkin parvekkeella puutarhuroiminen ei ole innostanut)<\/strong><\/span>. T\u00e4h\u00e4n asti. Nyt olis olemassa takapiha ja olen kuulkaa sek\u00e4 kuvainnollisesti ett\u00e4 kirjaimellisesti aika pihalla. Uuden kodin takapiha on\u00a0jokseenkin villiintynyt. Edellinen asukas ei ole hoitanut sit\u00e4 oikein mitenk\u00e4\u00e4n. Kukkia on ollut ihan minimaalisesti ja nurmikkokin on ulkon\u00e4k\u00f6ns\u00e4 perusteella ollut leikkaamatta useamman kuukauden.<\/p>\n<p>El\u00e4ttelin haaveita ett\u00e4 olisin ehtinyt tuupata multaan parit tulppaanit kev\u00e4tt\u00e4 varten, mutta eih\u00e4n sipuleita\u00a0en\u00e4\u00e4 miss\u00e4\u00e4n ole myynniss\u00e4. Ostin pari pussia siemeni\u00e4 jotka voi kylv\u00e4\u00e4 syksyll\u00e4, mutta nyt sitten tulikin jo lunta ja l\u00e4mp\u00f6tilat n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4t miinusta ainakin seuraavat puolitoita viikkoa. Joten n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 sille ett\u00e4 kaikki puutarhahommat j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t kev\u00e4\u00e4lle. Pit\u00e4\u00e4 siis tyyty\u00e4 t\u00e4ss\u00e4 kohtaa vain haaveilemaan ja suunnittelemaan.<\/p>\n<p>Piha ei ole hirve\u00e4n iso, mutta en kaipaa isoa nurmialuetta. Enimm\u00e4kseen haluan hy\u00f6tykasveja kuten yrttej\u00e4 ja kasviksia. Kirsikka- tai luumupuu olisivat hienoja, mutta isommastakin taimestakin niiden kasvattaminen kest\u00e4\u00e4 vuosia joten saa n\u00e4hd\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4tk\u00f6 vain haaveeksi. Samoin raparperista saa satoa vasta useamman vuoden j\u00e4lkeen. Saatan silti tuupata sen johonkin nurkkaan jos saan \u00e4idilt\u00e4 taimen. Olen ehtinyt jo mietti\u00e4 parin viljelylaatikon asentamista pihalle. Niiss\u00e4 voisi kasvattaa ainakin ruohosipulia, palsternakkaa, salaattia, tomaattia, ehk\u00e4 kes\u00e4kurpitsaa ja joitakin sekalaisia yrttej\u00e4.<\/p>\n<p>Kukkien valinta onkin sitten vaikeampaa kun ei yht\u00e4\u00e4n tied\u00e4 millainen piha on kes\u00e4ll\u00e4. Sen verran tied\u00e4mme ett\u00e4 se on etel\u00e4\u00e4n p\u00e4in, mutta pihan toista p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4 varjostaa autokatos. Mullan koostumuksesta tai muustakaan ei ole mit\u00e4\u00e4n tietoa. Pid\u00e4n krookuksista, pioneista, unikoista, hortensioista ja k\u00f6ynn\u00f6st\u00e4vist\u00e4 kukista. Haluaisin porrastaa kukkivia kasveja niin ett\u00e4 niit\u00e4 olisi kukinnassa l\u00e4pi kes\u00e4n kev\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 syksyyn, mutta kukkapenkkien lopulliset sijainnit varmaan m\u00e4\u00e4ritt\u00e4v\u00e4t v\u00e4h\u00e4n mit\u00e4 kaikkea sinne voi laittaa. Noin nelj\u00e4nnes pihasta on laatoitettu ja my\u00f6s etupihalla, keitti\u00f6n ikkunan alla on pieni kukkapenkki, joka on tosin suurimman osan p\u00e4iv\u00e4\u00e4 varjossa. Lukijoista l\u00f6ytyy varmasti minua etev\u00e4mpi\u00e4 puutarhureita. Jos teill\u00e4 on vinkkej\u00e4 tai ideoita niin tilaisuutenne on koittanut. Kaikki vinkit ovat tervetulleita. Ja \u00e4idille terveisi\u00e4 ett\u00e4 saatan tulla ensi kes\u00e4n\u00e4 kaivelemaan pihaa taimien tai pistokkaiden toivossa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7004\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif?resize=214%2C100\" alt=\"inenglish\" width=\"214\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have never been much of a green fingers. Or lets just say that got\u00a0almost reverse green fingers. I love flowers, but I&#8217;m not very good at growing them because I have never had garden of my own. I have lived my whole life in apartment building\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>(growing stuff on the balcony hasn&#8217;t really been my thing)<\/strong><\/span>. Until now. Now there is a garden and I&#8217;m pretty confused. Back yard of our new home is rather neglected and overgrown. There is not much flowers there and the lawn hasn&#8217;t been mowed for months, base on what it looks like now.<\/p>\n<p>I was dreaming of planting couple tulip bulbs for the Spring, but unfortunately they don&#8217;t seem to have any in the shops anymore. I bought couple bags of seeds which could be put to ground in Autumn, but then the snow came and temperatures have been below zero already. And will be atleast for next 1,5 weeks. So it seems that I have to leave everything for the Spring after all, and just dream and plan during the Winter.<\/p>\n<p>Yard is not very large, but I don&#8217;t really want very big lawn anyway. Mostly I would like to have edible plants like herbs and vegetables. Cherry or plum tree would be awesome, but growing them even from larger seedlings takes years and years, so we will see if I can be bothered. Also rhubarb takes couple years before giving harvest. I still might shove it in some corner in case I get small plant from mum. I have also dreamed about putting up couple raised gardening boxes for vegetables, like parsnips, lettuce, tomato, perhaps some zuccini, chives and other herbs.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing flowers is going to be more difficult because we don&#8217;t have any idea what kind of yard it is going to be. We know it is south-facing garden but there is garage wall on the other end of the garden so that area is going to be somewhat in the shade. We also don&#8217;t know anything about what kind of soil or other conditions there are. I like crocuses, peony, poppies, hydrangea and all sorts of blooming vines. I would like to get flowers blooming during the whole of Summer, from early Spring to Autumn, but the final locations of the flower beds will determine what I&#8217;m able to get. About a quarter of the garden is paved, but there is also small flower bed on the other side of the building. It is under kitchen window and most of the day it&#8217;s in the shade. There must be more skillful gardeners in my readers than I am. This is now your time to shine. If you got good tips, keep them coming. And special greetings to Mum, I might come and pinch some plants from your garden next Summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12151\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha1.jpg?resize=600%2C398\" alt=\"takapiha1\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha1.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha1.jpg?resize=150%2C100 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha1.jpg?resize=300%2C199 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12152\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha2.jpg?resize=600%2C367\" alt=\"takapiha2\" width=\"600\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha2.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha2.jpg?resize=150%2C92 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/takapiha2.jpg?resize=300%2C184 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Pieni hiekkalaatikko ja ep\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4inen kivikasa jossa jotakin ep\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4ist\u00e4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>kasvustoa.
