It started with thirty six antique windows up on the attic in our summerhouse.
My husband wanted to throw them out. But, no, no, no they are beautiful I said, I will use them. So I started to design my very own greenhouse. It took about 9 months from the first drawings till I actually got my building permit, the local building committee in this rural district doesn´t work very fast.
During this time I had already started to do some woodwork. I built the half-moon shaped window and the front door in our garage during the winter. Throughout the summer holiday and all other spare time a worked with the construction. In 2003 the greenhouse was completed.
The floor is concrete with heating added. Sweden is cold during the winter months and it´s a loooong winter. During this period of time I try to keep the floor above zero.
In autumn 2003 I added my Potager and named it
Tyras Garden. The Ornamental kitchen garden is a wild mix of medical plants, herbs, flowers, vegetables and I almost forgot the berries. Bees, butterflies, bumblebees and birds keep me company all the time. I think they enjoy the great variety of plants. I have found that the multiplicity of plants is also good against pests and diseases.
