Another day with mostly cloudy weather. But who cares, it´s vacationtime :-)

I went away early to the grocery store today. Then I don´t have to care about that for a couple of days. Cat food was on the top of the list, they get so mean when I forget that :-)

Solanum dulcamara, has many names in english one is bittersweet nightshade. In swdish it´s just bittersweet. A potatoe relative (shows clearly on the flower) and as such it´s poisounes.

It´s a really nice turkish family that owns the store nowdays and I always get greeted as I was one in their family :-) No wonder I want to go there often :-) Today I was standing there and wondering if I shoulkd buy strawberries, when I saw that they had blueberries for sale too. They were gigant so I understood that they weren´t the ones we have in our forests.

This little bumblebee had no strength left so it must have had a rough night.

They were the sort we call american blueberries. They are white inside and ours aren´t, ours are blue inside. I think there are more species of blueberries on the american continent than we have here. We do have a close relative to the blueberry that looks similar to the american, we call it Odon (Vaccinium uliginosum and it is also white inside) . The problem with Odon (or Bog billberry)is that one never knows how the berries tastes. They can even be tastier than blueberries, but mostly they just taste as blueberry mixed with a lot of water :-)

Since I don´t have any bushes of American blue berry I ofcourse picked some of the seeds I found in these gigant berries. Now I only have to sow them in peat mixed with some soil and put the pot outside on the northern side of my cottage. With a bit of luck they germinate next spring. One never knows how the berries will taste when sowing seed, but let us hope for the best!

Angelica sylvestris, a close relative to the one we have in our gardens. Biennal and loves tio grow here in the village.

I thought of whipping some cream to have with the blue berries, but I always forget how much faster it becomes whipped with a machine. So when I looked at it I had made butter instead :-) :-) But blue berries tastes even better just by them selves :-)

Have a great day now!
