It all started with thirty six antique windows......

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.
