RE: Gardenjournal in the Eco-village - March!
Awesome, @frejafri. You made me fall completely in love, both with the land, the seedlings and especially the dome.
While I was showing my girlfriend the pics, I remembered how the place looked like when you first bought it. You have worked so hard! I also remember a moment on which you doubted whether it had been the right decision to go for that place or not. It looks there's no need to doubt that anymore ;0)
You mentioned that spring always comes a little late in Denmark - I can imagine it is totally different from the climate in Italy, lol - which made us start wondering about light, and whether you have enough hours of sun. But I assume that depends a bit on how high up you are in Denmark.
My girlfriend's niece moved to Sweden last year, and we're definitely going to visit her one day (we wanted to do so last year, but couldn't because of my back troubles). Once I'm completely recovered, we're heading there. And seeing the pics in your post, I'll make sure we make a stop in Denmark to visit your ecovillage...
OMG, I'm so jealous about that dome... 😍😍😍
Yes it's still been tough getting everything sorted, but I have come to peace with that things take time and we have that ;) I really feel that new family are the perfect people to create this dream with us and I am so glad they found us! I feel so lucky!
It still looks pretty bad inside though, but we did do some improvements (one on the things on my to-blog-about-list ;) )
Well I didn't actually mean Denmark in General, but on this island the spring is a bit later than the rest of Denmark, but the summers are generally warmer and longer in the end. It has its own microclimate and is the only place in most of North Europe where figs, mulberries and durum wheat grows well :)
And well, when we lived in Italy we lived in the mountains, so it wasn't much warmer. But a bit yes. The thing is the mountain weather, while here it's around 6 degrees in the day and 4 in the night now, down there it's 16 in the day and minus two in the night!
The sun hours finally returned - we just had the equinox - as far as I know that means same day and night length all over the world, so now the North are slowly winning in sun! We'll have plenty!
Anyway, we are not that far north, just below the Southern tip of Sweden.
Yay, you are so welcome to come by! That would be awesome! 😍
