We all have our dreams. One of mine was -since I was a child- to have a garden of my own. Ten years ago at spring that dream finally came true. Slowly, year by year, with low budget, we've been creating it to be an excellent kitchen garden. Today we can -again- enjoy the harvest with honest & great gratitude. Despite it has been quite bad harvest this year we are very much self-contained with our garden. Unfortunately bad harvest means we can't share it with friends which we usually do.

Why we have a bad harvest? May was warm but at the very end of it we were hit by a bad storm. The forest behind us looked like the trolls had a war in there. After that the summer has been pretty chilly -even to us- and we even had frost at early August. Also, the summer has been the driest in 70 years. Climate change causes the extreme weather conditions. Storms don't belong to our May. We still see the results all around the nature. The bird hunting season has started but in May the winds and floods washed away the nests and our vulnerable arctic nature could not cover the damage in these few months to arrange the birds to nest again.

Now we are knocking at autumn's door. It is -with the winter- my favorite season.
