I løpet av 17.-19. juli var jeg glad for å kunne returnere gjestfriheten gitt av KVANNs søsterorganisasjon Arche Noah (Austrian Seed Savers) under mine 2 turer dit i 2017 og januar 2020 rett før COVID-en rammet (se https://www.edimentals .com/blog/?s=arche+noah)
Dette var i forbindelse med et Erasmus pluss utdanningsprogram der Arche Noah-utdanningen besøker ulike steder i Europa for å lære mer om flerårige grønnsaker og skogshager! Vi besøkte hver av mine 3 hager: The Edible Garden, Væres Venners Felleshagen og Løkhagen Chicago ved NTNU Ringve Botaniske Hagen.
Vi fikk selskap av Guri Bugge, Mette Theisen og Judit Fehér fra KVANNs styre (bilde). Ursula Taborsky fra Arche Noah er nest til venstre på bildet fra min spiselige (skogs)hage.

This was in connection with an Erasmus plus education program in which Arche Noah education are visiting various places in Europe to learn more about perennial vegetables and forest gardening! We visited each of my 3 gardens: The Edible Garden, Væres Venners Community Garden and the Onion Garden Chicago at the Ringve Botanical Garden.
We were joined by Guri Bugge, Mette Theisen and Judit Fehér from KVANN’s board (picture). Ursula Taborsky from Arche Noah is second left in the picture from my Edible (Forest) Garden.

A conventional salad!
I didn’t know if I could make a salad just with ingredients you can buy in the supermarket (but all home grown of course!), but last week I DID IT when I had a family visit!!
The picture of me looking cool and conventional with my favourite grandson Johannes was taken by favourite son Robin (yes, I have one of each)
Glencoe-like fruit from Black raspberry seed!
During early 2019, I sowed seed of black raspberry, Rubus occidentalis Ex-Black Hawk. The seed were harvested from some plants in my garden received originally as seed from Seed Savers Exchange in 2003. They germinated around 26th May 2021 and I planted about 20 quite close together with the thought of later moving them to a permanent place. That never happened and the plants grew large and started producing last year.
To my surprise I discovered that some of the berries, presumably from one of the plants, were very different and reminiscent of the hybrid with red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) “Glencoe”.
About ‘Glen Coe’: “this is the result of a cross-breeding between Rubus idaeus ‘Glen Prosen’ – a local Scottish variety with red fruits – and R. occidentalis ‘Munger’, a black-fruited variety from North America that was introduced in 1897 and extensively cultivated on more than 600 hectares in Oregon. This hybrid was developed by the Scottish Crops Research Institute, an agricultural research centre near Dundee (now integrated into the James Hutton Institute). Introduced to the market in 1989, ‘Glen Coe’ still surprises with the unique colour of its fruits, which is intermediate between its two parents.”
