Cushions and Solanum lycopersicum L.

I stopped at IKEA in Uppsala on the way home from my "summerhouse" and found these adorable new cushions. I just couldn´t resist them, they look a little bit to new and "clean" for the greenhouse but time and the sun will soon fix that. IKEA also had a lot of nice things for the garden, pots, candleholders etc.....no,no, not this time.

This year I´ve promised myself not to plant anything without putting a name tag in the pot. So far it works. I think it´s very annoying to have a plant that you love and you don´t remember it´s name. This is one of this growing seasons missions. Now I´ve been thinking of registering all the plants, that will be a nice thing to do during the cold winter, to catalogue Tyra´s Garden.
Late afternoon, perfect for a break. Teatime in the greenhouse.

The tomato plants are coming along fine I think. I´ve planted 5 different kinds this year. I also laborate with different soil mixtures, exiting stuff. What kind of soil do you use?
