We were in the process of moving when, just two weeks before, the owner deciced that he was going to sell the place!
But I found this apartment with a little garden, how lucky can you be?!
Well to be frank, it is more like a patio with planting apportunities, and most plants were planted in a state of panik!
We moved in May and I had some big examens coming up in June. So the only thing I had on my mind was; "Get on with the planting, you can always move them arround latter".
The only plants in the "garden" were a few tulips and a shrub.
The soil was a big problem as it had more sand than Sahara, so some improvements had to be done. Though this is still an area that I will have to work with in the spring.
I only plan to live here for a couple of years, for this reason the motto trough out the frantic planting has been;
* Use what you have. No pretty and expensive
plant containers, sticking to my old plastic ones.
* Plants must flower from July to September, as my
summer holyday is in this periode.
There are plants projects that have gone... not as expected, but see this as a part of having a patio with planting apportunities, and i like that.
Lots of plants will be moved arround in the spring that is for sure.
The garden is 10 meters/32.8 feet long, and 4 meters/13.2 feet wide.

Vi skulle lige til at flytte, da udlejeren fortalte at han havde bestemt sig ti at sælge stedet! Heldigvis fandt vi dette sted med en lille have, hvor heldig kan man være?
Vi flyttede ind i maj, det vil sige at det var ved at være sidste kald til at plante blomsterløg. Desuden havde jeg nogle store eksamener i juni, hvorfor en del plantet i ren panik!
Det eneste jeg havde i tankerne var derfor, "Kom igang med at plante, du kan altid flytte dem omkring senere"
Det eneste der var her var en lille busk og tulipaner hist og pist.
Jorden er et problem, da den indeholder mere sand end Sahara, den er blevet lidt forbedret, men skal arbejde videre med det i foråret.
Da jeg kun planlægger at bo her et par år har kamp råbet været;
* Brug det du har, dvs. igen pænne og dyre potter, eller hyder.
* Det meste skal blomstre fra juli til september, det er der
jeg har ferie.
Nogle a projekterne er ikke gået som planlagt, men vil bruge erfaringen til næste år. Det jeg har været mest glad for har været, at jeg næsten kunne gøre hvad jeg ville. Og det er meget bedre end at "overtage" en andens have ;o)
Haven er kun 10 meter lang og 4 meter bedred.
Weeding, soil improvement and putting a few bulbs and rhizomes in the earth.
~ ~ ~
Igang med at fjerne ukrudt, forbedre jorden og plante nogle få blomsterløg.
Despite cold weather the sunflowers are growing fine.
~ ~ ~
På trods af den kolde vejr vokser solsikkerne fint.
Even Zarco looked sceptic
~ ~ ~
Selv Zarco så skeptisk ud
Still cold, but all potted plants are out. The plastic cover to the right is a "little greenhouse" to get the plants started.
The grey screen to the left is hatted, but gives much needed privacy.
~ ~ ~
Der er stadig koldt, men alle potteplanterne er ude. plastiken til højre er et hjemmelavet drivhus til at sætte planterne igang.
Den grå skærm til venstre er ukønt men en nødvendighed får at få lidt privat liv.
Oxalis are out a bit later than usual, but they are out 
~ ~ ~
Oxaliserne er ude lidt senere end de plejer, men pyt de er udet de er ude!
It is very hot now, you can almost se the sunflowers move upwards while they grow.
~ ~ ~
Alt vokser meget hurtigt, man kan næsten se solsikkerne vokse
What a dump! only whent out there to water the plants, hope no one saw all this. Examinations are in their peak and there has not been time for gardening. The uggly cage to the right was the home of a injured baby blackbird.
The sunflowers are now 1.75m, taller than me.
~ ~ ~
Eksamenerne er på sit højeste hvorfor have er så forsømt.
Den grimme klods blev brugt til et skadet solsort unge.
Solsikkerne er nu 1.75m
Weeds every were, some commented this more than others.
~ ~ ~
Ukrudt alle vejne, nogle kommenterede dette mere end andre.
Examens are over and it almost looks like a garden again.
~ ~ ~
Eksamenerne er over og det beggynder at ligne en have igen.
The cosmos were transplantes over a week ago, and are growing fine. The two lanterns were a gift from my very nice neighbour from Bosnia. Temperatures are still high 31.2C
~ ~ ~
Stoltkavaliererne blev planted i jorden for over en uge side og gror fint. De to havelamper var en gave fra min søde nabo fra Bosnien.
Not what I had hoped for, a dreadful result. Okay now, look at the other photos, come on get cracking 
~ ~ ~
Meget skuffende resultat, igen kommentarer.
The oxalis shelves are almost in place.
~ ~ ~
Hylderne med oxaliserne er næsten på plads.
A corner for the more shade requiring oxalis. Will make some improvements here next year.
~ ~ ~
Et lille hjørne til de oxalis de mere skygge krævende oxalis.
Vil bestemt forbedre det til næste år.
Everything is growing fine.
~ ~ ~
Alt vokser rigtig godt
The oxalis as well.
~ ~ ~
Det gør oxaliserne også.
Getting the pond corner ready.
~ ~ ~
Have dams hjørnet gøres klar.
Gladiolus are in full bloom. The cosmos are not showing signs of flower, maybe they were planted to late. How I do hate that grey screen.
~ ~ ~
Gladioluserne blomstrer rigt. Stoltkavalier viser dog ingen tegn på blomstring, måske blev de plantet for sent. Jeg kan stadigvæk ikke leve med den der grimme grå skærm.
The whole "patio with planting opportunities"
~ ~ ~
Hele herligheden fra en ende til den anden.
From a different view.
~ ~ ~
Fra den anden ende.
War!!!! Some little intruders are eating my oxalis!
They are some sort of caterpillars, maybe butterflies.
Hm… better wait and see how bad it gets, would`t like to kill butterflies.
~ ~ ~
Krig!!! Nogle larver æder mine oxalis!
De er enten sommerfugle eller møl, jeg har bestemt for at se hvor slemt det bliver.
Ville ikke bryde mig om at slå sommerfugle ihjel
Much better now.
The bird bath was made by myself, and if I may say so, the result is very pleasing.
~ ~ ~
Meget bedre nu.
Fuglebadet har jeg selv lavet, og er ret glad for resultatet. 
The cosmos have been in bloom for almost two weeks now.
~ ~ ~
Stolte kavalererne har været i blomst i godt to uger.
Not sure if all the cosmos will bloom. It is getting colder and very windy.
Funny how small the garden looks in the photos.
~ ~ ~
Jeg er ikke sikker på at alle stolte kavalererne vil nå at blomstre.
Det er koldere nu og ret blæsende.
Mærkeligt hvor lille haven ser ud i disse billeder.
Rudbeckia ”black beauty” did not grow as expected, now it is hidden under the cosmos.
No signs that it will flower this year.
~ ~ ~
Rudbeckia ”black beauty” voksede ikke som forventet, nu er den gemt under alle de stolte kavalerer. Der er intet tegn på at den vil blomstre i år.
