Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more.

Irresistible Botanical Tulips

I have managed to do some last minute planting today, last but not least important were the botanical tulips. They have a given place in Tyra's Garden. This year I had to move my existing tulips because I needed the space for another project. I dug them up and left them on the ground for a few days. Big mistake someone, probably a rabbit had a feast, a giant bulb party! So...I had to buy some new one's. The botanical tulips are so delicate, small and sweet, and a big plus are that they are early. I think because they are early in bloom is why I find them simply irresistible.

Botanical tulips in Tyra's Garden

En av mina favoriter i Tyras Trädgård är Tulipa humilis 'Lilliput' kallas också violtulpan. Violtulpanen tillhör de låga botaniska tulpanerna. Blomkalken är vackert vinröd eller kanske roströd till färgen. De flesta är knappt 20 cm höga och härligt rosa till mörkt cericeröda. Mittfläcken kan vara gul eller svart. De flesta av mina botaniska tulpaner har jag faktiskt plantrat i grusgången, just där tulpanerna står har grusgången en svag lutning åt sydost. Jag tror att det är en stor fördel med det för vatten blir aldrig stående och så 'steks' de under sommaren. (Synonym T. pulchella, T. violacea.)

Gillar du tulpaner så kan jag rekommendera att kika in hos Solveig i Göteborg en som har 'Tulpanfeber'

The Big Dig part II. The Roses

The Roses


Done, 39 roses are down ready for the long rest.


Det var verkligen ett slavjobb. Tungt och skitigt rent ut sagt. Längst ner i botten under själva planteringsgropen lade jag stallgödsel, ingen rolig historia, sedan jord, vatten, ros och jord igen kupat upp runt rosen. Hoppas att det blir bra. Jag är ju definitivt novis rosor. Men man lär länge man lever.

The list of the roses in the order they were planted in The Big Dig in groups of three. They are all quite tall and wide and the most important... really fragrant.
  1. Rosa rugosa (white)
  2. Maigold
  3. Rosa rugosa 'Hansa'
  4. Louis Bognet
  5. Lichtkönigin 'Lucia'
  6. Rosa 'Quattre Saison'
  7. Ritausma
  8. Rosa rugosa 'Hansa'
  9. Henry Hudson
  10. Frülungsluft
  11. Stanwell Perpetual
  12. Rosa 'Anna'
  13. John Davis
......and then came the rain, thank you Lord.
Have a great weekend!

The Big Dig

October is absolutely perfect for planting. This is my project "The Big Dig" . I'm going to plant 39 roses. 12 different kind of roses 3 of each except for Rosa Rugosa 'Hansa' that is my husbands favorite so of those I have 6. My plan is that they are going to form a hedge.... hm we will see......and oh YES, look I have a real plan.



This is how they arrived and this is were I order my roses.
Jag beställde mina rosor på postorder, det fungerade jättebra! Skönt att sitta hemma och planera hur man vill ha det, man kan ju planera så bra när man får information om utseende, höjd växtsett etc, direkt på sidan där man sedan beställer rosorna. Toppen tycker jag.

Meet Henry! Henry Hudson, he is from Canada.
