Pumpkin with a twist

Merengues, from this recipie
this pumpkin plant started out quite innocent, but now it's growing very fast
and one month later it's taken a turn and I think it'll probably just keep going! Pretty curious to see where this will end, and will the flowers really turn into pumpkins? :P
the ground-elder is growing thick in the elephant grass and I just got so fed up with seeing it so I just pulled it all away and it looks much more welcoming. Just sorry that the roots are still in the ground but that will be next springs project to get rid of them!
the amaranths has self-sewn themselves and I'm so happy to see them again!
one of the cayenne purple plants has finally got a flower! 
the boyfriend and I went for a mushroom hunt last weekend but despite a big forrest we didn't find much else than moss 
and a ant house
a little creek
and three mushrooms! yay...
beautiful feather poppy
a visit to Horsabäcks Perenner resulted in this bigleafed hosta plant and some other goodies that found homes around the garden.
another gorgeous sunset in Mellbystrand
A visit to Inspirosa garden in Ysby resulted in me wanting to get lots of old bedends and armature for our garden and just go wild and crazy with it.
and to do these concrete paths in different styles
the purple poppy bloomed again this year :)

Swish swoosh!

I must be the worst blogger ever, can't get myself to write more often than once a month it seems :P
Well, May came and have been both hot and cold weather wise so some garden work has been done, and more to come this weekend :) The tomato plants are growing like mad in the little plastic greenhouse, the tulips have all bloomed for the season and the poppies have taken over. I'm waiting for the peonies to bloom now, and for the first strawberry to be eaten 
garden work
Local band Driftwood Company performed at Laholms Teater and the boyfriend and I went together with some friends to see them and very talented Kolonien. It was the first time I heard either of them and I totally fell in love with the Driftwood Company song Longing For Your Homecoming
My English friend Marie (we were penpals when we were younger, probably from when we were 13 or something and lost touch about 12 years ago or so but found eachother again a few years back and I'm so happy to have my sweet friend back) came to stay with us for a few days and since she flew to Copenhagen she also wanted to see the city so I took the train down to show her around but I was probably the worst tourguide ever but at least we got to see some landmarks at least thanx to the very nice canal tour :P
Nyhavn, Copenhagen
sweet Marie
gorgeous tulip
got this gorgeous Japanese bloodgood maple tree for the garden and I hope it will like living here and grow big and beautiful
