What we in sweden call a sunshine story (solskenshistoria)

A few years a go we bought some purple poppy seeds to spice up our cooking. After a while we found out that some bugs also seemed to like them so we thought “let’s give the poppy seeds to the birds”. It was in the middle of the winter and they could need some energy. We threw them in a flower box, but the birds weren’t interested at all. We forgot about the poppy seeds, but in the spring time they all of a sudden started to grow. The flowers have embellished our balcony all summer and now we have new poppy seeds which we can plant next year, if we haven’t used them in the kitchen.

We just got home from a trip to Finland, the first stop was Helsinki, a really nice city. We walked around in the design district and of course we noted some nice bicycles and numbersplates (and did some PR). Maybe urbnCal 2012 Helsinki…
Nettles!
Now is the best time for picking stinging nettles! (at least in sweden).
Stinging Nettle has a flavour similar to spinach when cooked and is rich in vitamins A, C, D, iron, potassium, manganese, and calcium.
We were out picking some this week and made a fantastic soup in the evening.
Just remember to have a pair of gloves with you when you are picking.
Reuse and cultivate!
These suburban plants are growing in newspaper pots, and here is how you can make them using a paper roll and some old newspaper.

Gick förbi den här hemma på Åsen för några dagar sen, o vips brydde jag mig inte längre om att det regnade. Grannen/mannen bakom gitarren heter Nacho Tatjer.

Dessutom kan unga designintresserade anmäla sig till en workshop som sker i samarbete medFashionplay och Lava/Kulturhuset.
