Back home from my visit to south western Norway and this is probably THE autumn of all autumns I will ever experience here…..high pressure weather with clear skies for 3 weeks, record number of sun-hours in any month ever and little wind to blow the leaves off the trees…the autumn colours keep going and going, so here’s an album of leaf pictures, all taken today 25th October 2016…
Another in a row of rainless sunny days. It’s now 2 weeks since it rained and no rain is forecast for the next 10 days. Grass and heather fire warnings are now in force, very unusual here…winter droughts seem to be on the increase…
An album of pictures from my short Perennialen II visit with Eirik Lillebøe Wiken and Hege Iren Svendsen at and around Alvastien Telste in Hardanger. Impressive nature, good beer and fruit, good company and just relaxing this time! It poured with rain on the morning that we’d planned to look properly around the Forest Garden, so that will have to wait for next year! Watch this space for the announcement of the next Perennialen event at this wonderful place, now a Permaculture LAND centre, next summer!! Hope to see you there!
The sun is now rising close to due East having swung round day for day from close to north over a few short weeks…the sunrise is now rushing towards south….
8th September and I woke to the sun’s rays shining into my bedroom (the door to the balcony was open) and another spectacular sun-rise it was. Sun-rise will within a few days be directly over the tip of Malvikodden and that’s a turning point in my world towards autumn!
Perennial vegetables, Edimentals (plants that are edible and ornamental) and other goings on in The Edible Garden
