Huhtikuun lumimyr\u00e4k\u00e4t pistiv\u00e4t puutarhainnostuksen s\u00e4\u00e4st\u00f6liekille. Piti k\u00e4perty\u00e4 uudelleen viltteihin ja jatkaa lintujen talviruokintaa. Erikoiset s\u00e4\u00e4ilmi\u00f6t ovat tuoneet satunnaiselle lintubongarille uutta bongattavaa, kun lintulaudalla ja pihassa on n\u00e4kynyt erikoisempia ilmestyksi\u00e4 kuten vihervarpusia, j\u00e4rripeippoja ja punakylkirastaita, joita en normaalisti ole p\u00e4\u00e4ssyt erottamaan kev\u00e4isen oksiston ja rehev\u00e4mm\u00e4n lehvist\u00f6n joukosta. Pelk\u00e4sin vain ett\u00e4 pakkasy\u00f6t ja lumipyry koituivat aikaisin saapuneiden punarintojen kohtaloksi. Niit\u00e4 ei n\u00e4kynyt sitten lumimyr\u00e4k\u00e4n pitk\u00e4\u00e4n aikaan.

Jo paljon ennen kuin ryhdyin omavaraistelemaan, opin miten s\u00e4\u00e4 vaihtelee eri alueilla. Kaikki puutarhanhoitoa harrastavat ovat todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti perill\u00e4 maamme erilaisista kasvuvy\u00f6hykkeist\u00e4, sill\u00e4 ne on merkitty (tai ainakin mielest\u00e4ni pit\u00e4isi olla)<\/strong> jokaiseen myyt\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4n kasviin. Sen lis\u00e4ksi s\u00e4\u00e4 ja olosuhteet voivat vaihdella kunkin kasvuvy\u00f6hykkeen sis\u00e4ll\u00e4, jopa hyvin pienill\u00e4 alueilla. Tampereen Hervannassa asuessamme, huomioimme miten s\u00e4\u00e4 Hervannassa m\u00e4en p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 oli usein t\u00e4ysin erilaista kuin alempana Tampereen keskustassa. S\u00e4\u00e4tiedotuksista saattaa olla tuttu litania “alavilla mailla hallan vaara”. Se tarkoittaa ett\u00e4 notkoissa oleville alueille saattaa valua kylmemp\u00e4\u00e4 ilmamassaa. Kylm\u00e4 ilma nimitt\u00e4in on l\u00e4mmint\u00e4 raskaampaa. Talomme on rakennettu pienen m\u00e4en p\u00e4\u00e4lle ja se on kahdelta suunnalta peltojen ymp\u00e4r\u00f6im\u00e4. Usein aamuisin tai kes\u00e4\u00f6isin voimme keitti\u00f6n ikkunasta n\u00e4hd\u00e4 miten sumu lipuu pelloilta kohti taloa. Sumu ei kuitenkaan aina jaksa nousta m\u00e4en p\u00e4\u00e4lle, jos ilma alkaa aamuauringossa nopeasti l\u00e4mmet\u00e4. K\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6ss\u00e4 se tarkoittaa sit\u00e4 ett\u00e4 m\u00e4en p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 olevan keitti\u00f6puutarhan kasvit eiv\u00e4t ole niin suuressa hallavaurioiden vaarassa kuin jos puutarha olisi notkelmassa. Olen silti varautunut hallaharsoin ihan varmuuden vuoksi, ja pyrin niit\u00e4 k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4nkin jos suinkin muistan. On tietysti sellaisiakin vuosia ett\u00e4 s\u00e4\u00e4 on ihan yleisesti ottaen hirmu kylm\u00e4\u00e4. Silloin varminta on kasvattaa kasvihuoneessa, jota voi tarvittaessa pit\u00e4\u00e4 l\u00e4mpim\u00e4n\u00e4 l\u00e4mmittimill\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n

T\u00e4nne kasvuvy\u00f6hyke 3:n laitamille muuttaessamme talon piha oli ollut hyvin v\u00e4h\u00e4ll\u00e4 hoidolla vuosikymmeni\u00e4, eik\u00e4 varsinaista keitti\u00f6puutarhaa ollut. Sen paikkaa valitessani jouduin siis aloittamaan alusta. Piharakennuksen takana olisi ollut erinomainen valmiiksi auvoin alue. \u00c4itini mielest\u00e4 paikka oli kuitenkin liian varjoinen, sill\u00e4 se avautui m\u00e4en harjalta pohjoiseen p\u00e4in. Niinp\u00e4 hylk\u00e4sin ajatuksen ja valitsin sen sijaan paikan m\u00e4enharjan etel\u00e4puolelta, tosin se vaatii enemm\u00e4n raivausty\u00f6t\u00e4. Risukon siivoamista, maanpinnan tasoittamista jne. Paikka on suojainen sill\u00e4 pienehk\u00f6n aukean ymp\u00e4rill\u00e4 on puustoa ja pohjoisessa m\u00e4enharja. Niinp\u00e4 keitti\u00f6puutarha ei ole kovin tuulinen eik\u00e4 hallalle altis. Ainoaksi ongelmaksi muodostuu siis mahdollinen paahde ja kuivuus. Talon omasta kaivosta kirjoittelin aiemmin viime vuonna<\/a>. Talo on liitetty vesiosuuskunnan k\u00e4ytt\u00f6vesiverkkoon luultavasti joskus 90-luvulla. Kaikki kasteluvesi tulee siis joko sadevedest\u00e4 tai maksullisena osuuskunnalta. Niinp\u00e4 on j\u00e4rkev\u00e4\u00e4 varautua kuivuuteen kaikilla mahdollisilla keinoilla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onneksi k\u00e4ytett\u00e4viss\u00e4 on paljon eri keinoja. Veden haihtumista voi v\u00e4hent\u00e4\u00e4 varjostamalla kasveja paahteisimpina p\u00e4ivin\u00e4, kattamalla kasvualueita ja lis\u00e4\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4 mullan sekaan biohiilt\u00e4 joka sitoo kosteutta enemm\u00e4n. Lis\u00e4ksi kastelua voi tehostaa esim tippukastelulla tai multaan upotettavilla kasteluruukuilla. Kasvulavaan haudattu lasittamaton, savinen kasteluruukku, olla<\/em>, on ikivanha keksint\u00f6. Se t\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n vedell\u00e4 ja peitet\u00e4\u00e4n kannella. Ruukun vett\u00e4 l\u00e4p\u00e4isev\u00e4 savi luovuttaa kosteutta hitaasti suoraan mullan sis\u00e4\u00e4n, ei pinnalle, josta se p\u00e4\u00e4sisi liian helposti haihtumaan. Tarkoituksenani oli t\u00e4n\u00e4 viikonloppuna askarrella niit\u00e4 omiin lavakauluksiin, mutta en ehtinyt hankkia isoja ruukkuja sit\u00e4 varten. Minulla on suunnitelmissa my\u00f6s erilaisia tapoja sadeveden hy\u00f6dynt\u00e4miseksi. Yksi t\u00e4llainen on ns. sadepuutarha, jossa sadevesi ohjataan suoraan varta vasten rakennettuun puutarhan osaan. Mit\u00e4\u00e4n varsinaista lammikkoa tai kosteikkoa t\u00e4h\u00e4n ei ole todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti tulossa, mutta ainakin osittain sadevedet tullaan johtamaan kauemmas perustuksista ja puutarhakasvien k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n niin ett\u00e4 niit\u00e4 ei tarvitse itse sinne kantaa. My\u00f6s kasvien istuttaminen riitt\u00e4v\u00e4n l\u00e4helle toisiaan ja matalampien, pienten kasvien istuttaminen isompien viereen v\u00e4hent\u00e4\u00e4 kosteuden haihtumista. Tiivis kasvillisuus josta ei paljon n\u00e4y multaa, est\u00e4\u00e4 kosteuden haihtumisen ja runsas kasvillisuus luo alueelle mikroilmaston. Tasapainon l\u00f6yt\u00e4minen t\u00e4llaiselle voi toisaalta olla hankalaa, eik\u00e4 se toimi kaikille kasveille, sill\u00e4 isommat kasvit eiv\u00e4t kuitenkaan saisi tukahduttaa pienempi\u00e4. Kumppanuuskasveihin ja erilaisiin kasvatustapoihin perehtyminen voi my\u00f6s antaa apua. Itse en ole niihin ihan niin syv\u00e4llisesti uppoutunut, mutta hy\u00f6dynn\u00e4n toki pieni\u00e4 jippoja jos jostakin huomaan olevan apua. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muita hyvi\u00e4 tapoja erilaisiin s\u00e4iden vaihteluihin varautumiseksi on monivuotisten ja kest\u00e4vien lajikkeiden valitseminen. Monivuotiset perinteiset satokasvit ja maatiaislajikkeet menestyv\u00e4t Suomen oloissa ja ovat sopeutuneet paremmin kest\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n kovia s\u00e4\u00e4nvaihteluita. On paljon kasveja jotka yksinkertaisesti eiv\u00e4t Suomen kasvuoloissa menesty. Osa tekee satoa vain kasvihuoneissa. L\u00e4mpimin\u00e4 kesin\u00e4 jotkut kasvit tulevat toimeen ulkona, mutta syksyn tullen ne t\u00e4ytyy siirt\u00e4\u00e4 sis\u00e4tiloihin tai talvettaa ne kellarissa. Itsell\u00e4ni k\u00e4vi hirve\u00e4 tuuri. Yhten\u00e4 kes\u00e4n\u00e4 ostin myskikurpitsan taimen ja istutin sen avomaalle. Sattui eritt\u00e4in kuuma kes\u00e4 ja ihme ja kumma, sain pari myskikurpitsaa. My\u00f6hemmin sain selville ett\u00e4 myskikurpitsa vaatii oikeastaan kasvihuoneen jaksaakseen tuottaa satoa. Moukan tuuria siis. T\u00e4m\u00e4n j\u00e4lkeen en ole arvannut edes kokeilla etten pety. Ehk\u00e4 testaan uudelleen sitten kun saamme \u00e4nttiin kasvihuoneen. Ostinpa mit\u00e4 tahansa puutarhakasveja, hy\u00f6ty- tai koriste-, tutkin ensin niiden kasvuvy\u00f6hyke- ja muut kasvupaikkavaatimukset. Haluan yritt\u00e4\u00e4 minimoida turhan rahanmenon valitsemalla kasveja joilla on paremmat mahdollisuudet menesty\u00e4 juuri meik\u00e4l\u00e4isen laiskan tarhurin puutarhassa. Itse tykk\u00e4\u00e4n erityisesti monivuotisista kasveista, sill\u00e4 ne vaativat hyvin v\u00e4h\u00e4n hoitoa ja ovat melko varmoja sadon tuottajia. Toki erityisen ankara talvi saattaa nekin lannistaa. Monivuotiset kasvit my\u00f6s v\u00e4hent\u00e4v\u00e4t esikasvatuksen tarvetta. Esikasvatus ei ole oikein koskaan ollut vahvinta aluettani. <\/p>\n\n\n

Several “second” winters in April made my garden enthusiasm go back hibernating. I had to wrap myself inside warm blankets and start the winter feeding of birds again. Unusual weather phenomenon brought new things to see for random birdwatcher like me. The feeder was full of birds I don’t usually get to see from the spring leaves and camouflage colours. There were more unusual birds like bramblings, european siskins and redwings. I was just afraid that freezing nights and snowflurries were the destiny of robins, which arrived earlier in April. I didn’t see any of them since the snowfall. Thankfully hubby reported sightings over a week ago and I was able to see them too couple days ago. So situation doesn’t seem too gloomy. After all, first of May was almost too hot weather. This slightly bitter sweet post is wellsuited to the May #selfsufficiency posts theme. Hosted by Sari<\/a> and Heikki<\/a>, we blog about weather, climate and how they affect selfsufficiency. Posts are not about climate change, but how weather and climate affect on selfsufficiency. After all, the geographical location is also very much affecting on what and how things grow. Links to other posts you can find below. Post continues after the links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Way before I started self-sufficiency, I learned how weather changes in different areas. Everyone who does gardening, probably know about the local grow zones or grow areas. Those are marked on pretty much all plants you buy (or atleast they should be, in my opinion). In addition to that, weather and conditions can vary a lot inside each grow zone and even within small distances. When we lived in Hervata in Tampere, we noticed that often weather was very different there, than in the city center. Hervanta is located on a hill and city center is lower. Cold weather tends to flow down, because it’s heavier than warm. This means that lower areas are in more of risk of frosty nights than high areas. Our house is built on a little hill and it’s surrounded by fields on two directions. Often on mornings and summer nights we can see fog rolling in from the fields, towards the house. Sometimes in the morning sun the air warms up fast and fog doesn’t reach the house before it fades away. In practice this means that our vegetable garden is more protected from frost than if it was on lower area. I am still prepared with garden gauze, in case of frosty night. Then again, there are years when overall temperatures are pretty cool. Then the best option is to grow plants in greenhouse, which you can warm up with heaters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our house is on the edge of Finnish grow area 3, which puts limitations to what we can grow. The garden is old, but it had been neglected for decades and there was no proper kitchen garden at all. So I had to start that from scratch. There was open area already behind the barn, which I was planning to utilize. However mum thought it would be too much in the shade, because it was on a hillside towards North. So I had to change plan and chose area on the other side of the hill, facing south. It requires more work though. Tidying piles and piles of cut hawthorn branches, evening out the ground etc. It is quite protected area, because there are trees round it and there is not much wind. Only problems really are too much sunshine and dry spells. I wrote about our own well last year<\/a>. House is connected to the water mains of local water co-op, probably in the 1990’s. Which means that all water we pour on our plants is either rainwater or comes from the pipes, with good fee. So for now we have to prepare for drought with as many methods as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n

Monivuotiset, itse itsens\u00e4 hoitavat satokasvit helpottavat puutarhanhoitoa ja kest\u00e4v\u00e4t paremmin s\u00e4\u00e4nvaihteluita, kuten t\u00e4m\u00e4 maa-artisokka. Kukkimaan se ei juuri koskaan ehdi, mutta se ei ole p\u00e4\u00e4asia. \/
Perennial, self-maintaining harvest plants make gardening easier and can handle weather changes better, like this jerusalem artichoke. It hardly ever have enough time to bloom, but that is not the main reason I grow them. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Thankfully there are several ways to prepare for drought. You can minimize the vaporising by giving plants shade on the hottest days, cover the grow beds with cut grass or leaves etc and adding moisture binding bio coal to the soil. You can make watering more efficient by drip irrigation systems or burying olla pot<\/em> inside the soil. Buried, un-glazed clay pot as water reservoir is ancient invention. It’s filled with water and covered with lid. Porous clay releases the water slowly, directly into the soil, not ontop of it, where it can easily evaporate. My plan was to make those for my grow beds this weekend, but I didn’t have time to get large pots for it. I am planning also other ways of utilizing the rainwater in the garden. One of these is so called rain garden, where rainwater is guided directly to the area built for it. I’m not planning on building a pond, but there will probably be system where rainwater is directed to the plants without me having to carry it. Also planting each plant close to each other will prevent evaporation and creates micro climate for that spot. Plant smaller plants next to big ones and try to make grow bed evenly spread with plants, so that not much soil is visible. On the other hand, it might be difficult to find balance for that and it doesn’t work for all plants. Larger plants should not suffocate the small ones. Perhaps growing companionship plants next to each other will help on this too. I have not digged into this much but if I can find a small tricks which are helpfull, I will use them in future too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other good way of preparing for weather changes is to choose perennial and hardy variety of plants. Perennial, traditional plants and hardy varieties are more likely to succeed because they are already adjusted to the climate. There are many plants which don’t succeed here in Finland because we have short Summers and harsh Winters. Some of them only produce harvest in the greenhouse. On warm summers, some of them can be outside, but for Winter, they have to be kept indoors or in cellars, which stay on plus temperatures. I was very lucky one year. I bought sappling of a butternut squash. The wonder of wonders, that Summer was very hot and I got couple squashes from it. Later I found out that in Finland it actually doesn’t really produce harvest unless it’s in greenhouse. So it was dum luck. After that I haven’t bothered. Perhaps I will try again when we finally get greenhouse. But, whatever plants I buy, decorative or other, I always check their grow- and climate requirements. I want to try and minimize the risk of loosing money and wasting time and choose plants which have better chance on our area, in the garden of this lazy gardener. I especially love perennial plants, because they require little to no maintenance and are pretty certain to provide harvest. All though especially harsh winter can be too tough even for them. Perennial plants also reduce the need for pre-growing them inside. That’s never been my forte. <\/p>\n\n\n

Our yard yesterday afternoon. Here on the grow zone three spring has just begun. There is visible growth every day, but I can’t exactly brag with lush garden. Flower bed is in a bit awkward location on our yard, because this is one of the two places where we can plow the snow to in the winter. For some plants it might be too much, but I try to choose the plants on the closest edge so that they don’t get too upset about the pile of snow. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Kest\u00e4vien maatiais- ja perinnekasvien hankkiminen voi joskus olla hankalaa. Yksi tapa on lis\u00e4t\u00e4 esim marjapensaita taivukkaista.

Getting hardy traditional plants can quite be tricky sometimes. One way to propagate more of them is layering. On our yard there was only two berry bushes left, one redcurrant and one blackcurrant. Here under the rock is my layering test. This spring I will have a look if it’s managed to make roots and find a new place to plant it. Well, later on I have found little sapplings of berrybushes all around the yard. They were probably spead by birds and there is atleast four of them. I have to find better places for all of them. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Niinp\u00e4 olen lahjoittanut juurakon paloja eteenp\u00e4in jo useammille halukkaille. Silti n\u00e4it\u00e4 isoja vanhoja leidej\u00e4 on viel\u00e4 kaksi j\u00e4ljell\u00e4. Siis katsokaa nyt t\u00e4m\u00e4n kokoa! Viihtyess\u00e4\u00e4n, hyv\u00e4ll\u00e4 paikalla, raparperi ei vaadi lainkaan hoitoa ja saa vain nauttia sadosta, kuten t\u00e4st\u00e4 raparperiporeesta<\/a>, tai maisemakahvilan raparperipiirakasta<\/a>. Raparperilla on valtava juurakko, joten se saa maasta hyvin vett\u00e4, eik\u00e4 kunnolla juurruttuaan yleens\u00e4 vaadi kastelua.
Perennial plants are often fine without any care, like this rhubarb. Originally there were three of these huge, about 100 years old rhubarbs on our yard. Harvest was so massive that I was not able to use it all. For that reason I have given away pieces of the roots for several people. I still have two of these huge old ladies. I mean, look at that size! On a good location rhubarb doesn’t need any care and you can just enjoy the harvest, like this bubbly rhubarb drink or the rhubarb pie ala Katariina P<\/a>. Rhubarb has very large root, so it’s able to get lot of water from the soil. After it’s properly rooted to the place, it doesn’t usually need any watering. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n
