Mid summer feast
Filed Under EDUCATION | Leave a Comment
Only 10 days to go and we have mid summer feast at the 15th of August. In the part of the world where I live, this day is officially called "mothers day". Must have been a way of the Christians to rule
out the pageant feast of mid summer and replace it with something more Christian: oh yes, it’s the feast of Virgin mother Mary.
What I love the most is that around this time the potatoes where harvested at my parents place: all the dry leaves and plants had to be burned and the new potatoes were thrown into the big fire as well. Kind of primitive barbeque with delicious potatoes at the end of the evening. Nothing beats fresh potatoes straight out of an open fire!

You can also sow some biennials, such as forget-me-nots.
These 2 hardy plants are easy to grow outdoors from seed and once you have them, well: they do stay
