Puutarhasta p\u00e4iv\u00e4\u00e4! Aamuisin ulos astuessa ilman t\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 l\u00e4hes korvia huumaava lintujen laulu. Yli 20 kaupungissa asutun vuoden j\u00e4lkeen olin unohtanut milt\u00e4 kuulostaa kev\u00e4t maalla.

Takapihamme n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 kirkkaassa kev\u00e4tvalossa jokseenkin ankealta juuri nyt. Palmusunnuntain auringossa k\u00e4vin kuopsuttelemaan maata. Edellisen asukkaan j\u00e4ljilt\u00e4 oli saldona useampi kourallinen muoviroskaa, josta suurin osa nippusiteit\u00e4 ja koiran leluja (niit\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyy koko ajan\u00a0lis\u00e4\u00e4)<\/strong><\/span>. Lis\u00e4ksi takapihalle oli j\u00e4tetty haiseva yll\u00e4tys: puoli \u00e4mp\u00e4rillist\u00e4 biopusseihin k\u00e4\u00e4ritty\u00e4 koiranpa_eikun siis koiran j\u00e4t\u00f6ksi\u00e4, kuorrutettuna kasalla koiran leluja. Muutenkaan takapihallemme ei ole odotettavissa mit\u00e4\u00e4n Kaunein puutarha-palkintoja. Nurmikko on j\u00e4tetty leikkaamatta jo jonkin aikaa ennen talven tuloa. Siell\u00e4 t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 on valtavia tuppaita tai kaljuja kohtia joissa ei kasva mit\u00e4\u00e4n. Muistona leikkivist\u00e4 lapsista on sammaloituva hiekkalaatikko. Pihalaatoitus on rikkoutunut ja ripoteltu sinne ja t\u00e4nne.<\/p>\n

Kukkapenkist\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyy my\u00f6s kuoppia joista arvatenkin on kaivettu yl\u00f6s jotain. Etupihan kukkapenkiss\u00e4 ei kasva juuri muuta kuin rikkaruohoa. Takapihan seinustan kukkapenkiss\u00e4 on villiintyneit\u00e4 liljoja ja iriksi\u00e4 sek\u00e4 scillaa (id\u00e4nsinililjaa)<\/strong><\/span>. Osa sipuleista on l\u00e4hes kiinni betoniperustuksessa. Muutenkin kukkapenkit ovat aivan liian l\u00e4hell\u00e4 rakennuksen sein\u00e4\u00e4. Pihan per\u00e4ll\u00e4 olevassa kukkapenkiss\u00e4 on vuorenkilven peitossa jokin puun kanto jossa on vanhoja versoja. Muutoin penkiss\u00e4 n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 olevan enimm\u00e4kseen tyhj\u00e4\u00e4 tai rikkaruohoja. Pihan toisella reunalla nurmikon on valloittanut maahumala. Vaikka piha on pieni, hommaa riitt\u00e4\u00e4 ihan vaikka muille jakaa. Haluaisin kirsikkapuun, ruusupensaan, pionin, hortensian, kuunliljoja (\u00e4idilt\u00e4 ehk\u00e4 liikenee?)<\/strong><\/span>, k\u00f6ynn\u00f6skasveja portin molemmin puolin ja hy\u00f6tykasvitarhan lavakaulukseen (lavakaulukset on jo hankittu)<\/strong><\/span>. Kaikki n\u00e4m\u00e4 eiv\u00e4t varmastikaan ole toteutettavissa (ainakaan nyt heti jo pelk\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4n rajallisen budjetinkin vuoksi)<\/strong><\/span>, vaikka haaveilla toki voi. Kaikki ideat otetaan kiitollisena vastaan!<\/strong>\u00a0Jonkin verran niit\u00e4 sainkin jo edelliseen puutarhapostaukseeni<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Olemme kasvuvy\u00f6hykkeell\u00e4 III.

Garden greetings! In the morning, when going out, you can hear almost stunningly loud concert of birds. After living over 20 years in the city, I had forgotten what the Spring is like in the countryside. Listening past years the noise from traffic and sirens (yes, our previous home had a fire station as a neighbour)<\/strong><\/span> this is almost a slight cultural shock. There are still sounds of traffic here, but so far the birds have won on decibels.<\/p>\n

In the bright Spring light, our backyard looks quite miserable right now. On Palm sunday I did some maintenance there. Previous tenant left it quite badly shape. I found several handfuls of plastic rubbish, mostly cable ties and pet toys (and I still keep finding more)<\/strong><\/span>. Also we found stinking surprise: half a bucket of dog s_ I mean dog excrement, wrapped in bio bags, under a pile of dog toys. In any way, there won’t be any Garden Awards coming our way. Lawn hasn’t been moved for months before the Winter. There\u00a0is huge lumps and bald spots here and there. Memento from playing children is a mossy sandbox. Concrete garden tiles have gone broken and dropped randomly where ever.<\/p>\n

Flower beds have holes, assumably something has been dug\u00a0up. Front yard flower bed doesn’t have anything except some weeds. Backyard flower bed has lilies, irises and scilla gone wild. Some of the bulbs are pretty much touching the concrete base of the house. Flower beds are way too close to the building. Flower bed on the back of the garden seems to have some sort of tree stump, covered with bergenia. Besides that and some other flower, this bed seems to only have weeds and bald spots. On one side of the yard, lawn is covered by ground-ivy. Even though yard is very small, there is tons of work to do. I would like to have cherry tree, rose bush, peony, hydrangea, plantain lilies (mom might be able to donate some?)<\/strong><\/span>, some vines or similar climbing plants around the gate and small vegetable garden (we already have the pallet boxes for raised vegetable beds)<\/strong><\/span>. Some of these plans are probably not doable (atleast not right now, and not just due to very limited budget)<\/strong><\/span>, but one can dream. \u00a0All ideas and tips are welcome!<\/strong><\/span> Some ideas I already got for my previous garden post<\/a>. We are on the plant hardiness\u00a0zone 3.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maahumala valtaa alaa. Kuulin ett\u00e4 t\u00e4st\u00e4 saa ihan kivan amppelikasvin kun\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\ntuuppaa maasta revityt versot amppeliruukkuun kasvamaan. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nGround ivy spreading around. I heard that it’s quite nice plant for hanging pots.<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nWhen pulling it out from the ground, just poke them into a pot and let them grow.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Mysteerinen pikkukanto aidan seinustalla. \/<\/strong><\/span>

T\u00e4m\u00e4n kasan ker\u00e4\u00e4misen j\u00e4lkeen on l\u00f6ytynyt viel\u00e4 lis\u00e4\u00e4 muoviroskaa… \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nAfter we collected this pile, we have found even more plastic rubbish…<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…t\u00e4lt\u00e4 alueelta! T\u00e4ss\u00e4 kuvassa n\u00e4kyy l\u00e4hes koko piha. Hiekkalaatikon kulma<\/strong><\/span>
\nn\u00e4kyy alareunassa. Selk\u00e4ni taa\u00a0j\u00e4\u00e4 oikeastaan\u00a0vain autokatoksen sein\u00e4.<\/strong><\/span>
\nVasemmalla on kuvan ulkopuolelle j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4 kukkapenkki. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\n…from this area! This photo shows almost the whole yard. Bottom left<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nshows the corner of the sand box. Behind my back is pretty much just the car park<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nwall. On the left, not visible in the photo is another flower bed.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ja se kukkapenkki n\u00e4kyy t\u00e4ss\u00e4. Etualalla autokatoksesta (oletettavasti, koska
\nsit\u00e4 ei ole miss\u00e4\u00e4n muualla kuin t\u00e4ss\u00e4) pihaan \u00a0valunutta karkeaa sepeli\u00e4. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd that flowerbed you can see here. At the front you can see
\nrubble which as come to our side from the car shed (assumably because this
\nis the only area where we have it on our yard).\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Penkin keskell\u00e4 on vuorenkilven (josta en kamalasti pid\u00e4) peitt\u00e4m\u00e4 kanto jossa<\/strong><\/span>
\nvanhoja versoja. \u00a0Ei yht\u00e4\u00e4n k\u00e4sityst\u00e4 mik\u00e4 puu on kyseess\u00e4. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nIn the middle of that there is another stump, covered with bergenia (which I<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\ndon’t really like much). We got no idea what tree that might be.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seinustan perennapenkiss\u00e4 on tyhj\u00e4\u00e4. Nurkassa joku lilja, keskell\u00e4 iriksi\u00e4 ja<\/strong><\/span>
\nid\u00e4nsinililjat. Keskell\u00e4 n\u00e4kyv\u00e4ss\u00e4 irtom\u00f6ykyss\u00e4 on jotain, mutta elonmerkkej\u00e4<\/strong><\/span>

\nirtonaisena kukkapenkin p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere’s empty space on this perennial flower bed. Unidentified lily in the corner
\nand\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em>some irises and scilla in the middle. There is something on the big lump\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nin the middle, but there seems no life signs yet. Perhaps they have all died<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nduring the winter, because that is literally loose lump on top of the ground.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 on tunnistettu suikeroalpiksi. Se n\u00e4ytt\u00e4isi kasvavan toisen aidan alla. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis has been identified as creeping jenny. It seems to grow under a fence.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nokkosia ja jotain tuntematonta vaaleanvihre\u00e4\u00e4. \/<\/strong><\/span>
\nStinging nettle and some myserious light green growth.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kuten n\u00e4ette, kukat ovat aivan liian l\u00e4hell\u00e4 sein\u00e4\u00e4. Aion siirt\u00e4\u00e4 n\u00e4it\u00e4 kauemmas\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>

\nAs you can see, flowers are way too close to the wall. I am going to move them<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nfurther from the wall, but I don’t really know when I should do it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
