Plan for plants
Published on the blog Sacred Homeland in 2012
93 years old Grandma Irene worked as a farmer before she moved into the city in the 60s. Who could give us better advice then she, what we should plant in our first garden. According to Grandma, the plants that you need in a garden is:
Dahlia
Calendula
Carrot
Beetroot
Parsley
Dill
Onion
Sunflower
Sweet Pea
Potato
Sweet William (isn’t that a wonderful name!)
Peony
Radish
Of course we want to be as green fingered as grandma so we bought seed bags with every plant that she had told us about (except the onion where we bought leek seed instead). Many of the seed bags was marked with the sign Kulturarv (Cultural Heritage) so we felt safe using those seeds when we should follow the advise from the older generation.
And then it’s just the setting and waiting…
