Tyra´s Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination.

Antipasto dal giardino – a simple appetizer straight from my potager. Sometimes, quite often actually I take a little walk in the kitchen garden and pick a little of everything that is ripe and that feels just right for the occasion. Here I have an eggplant that I've glanced at for some time now, it together with some nice tomatoes are perfect for my little ‘antipasti dal giardino’. I

At last, now in early September my Physalis are ready to harvest, sweet, pretty and very healthy. Full of vitamin C it is a true power-fruit or shall I call it power-berry. Eat locally grow! - you cannot beat home grown.  Don't forget to save one little Physalis and harvest your own seeds - free seeds for 2011 growing season.  Vill du läsa på svenska?

Delicious and free! Can it get any better? The last day of August gave us a day of glorious sunshine and I went for a long and lovely walk in the woods. Pure pleasure to walk in the woods in company with a lot of birds and butterflies. To my big surprise I have seen an incredible number of beautiful butterflies today evidently that means that the summer is not over yet. Warm and pleasant too

After several weeks at sea I'm back on solid ground again. Back to my garden...but what a mess, a small disaster at the first glance. Armed with secateurs, machete, one mile of garden twine I'm ready to attac the 'garden'... jungle. I have had help from my friends with the watering ( a huge thank you to you! ) But as the weather has been wet-wet-wet watering has been easy, another problem

An orchestra that preforms the musical melody of summertime right now, right here in my garden. The mighty Rhododrendron must be the bass drum,

Forget-me-not Last week when I visited my summerhouse I sat in a room next to the kitchen and suddenly I heard a strange sound from the kitchen, a rustling noise. It came from a plastic bag with my Danish rye bread. I realized pretty fast that ‘Stuart Little’ paid me a visit. I tossed a cork at the bag to frighten Stuart away but without luck. I quickly emptied a zinc bucket and pushed the bag

Tulipa tarda More tulips from my garden and this time it is the Tulipa tarda. I find it very pretty in it's simplicity. Have you got an English name for it? I'm sure you have this tulip in the northern states of US, Canada and GB. The plant is about 10-20 cm tall (up to 8 inches), dark green stem, 3-7 light green leaves that froms a rosette. The flowers are quite small up to 5 cm in diameter,

Botanical Tulips vs. Hybrids Tulips in bloom, what a joy! Most of my tulips are botanical tulips I find them so very attractive, small and pretty, perhaps not as 'fancy' as the tall hybrid cultivars but they are just the way I like them. Another positive thing about the species tulips are that they are early, most of the hybridized are in bloom much later and then after they flowered I
