I fjor sommer sådde jeg sitronsteiner som spirte og vokste til små planter.
Jeg var usikker på hvordan de ville gå med de gjennom høst og vinter, men de klarte vinteren i vinduskarmen overraskende fint og beholdt bladene gjennom hele den mørke årstiden.
Sitronplantene har hele tiden stått i de små pottene de ble sådd i, og nå har jeg sett at røttene var begynt å bli så store at de grodde ut gjennom pottene. Dermed var det tid for ompotting.
I dag har mine tre små sitronplanter blitt flyttet over i større potter og fått mer jord rundt røttene.
Last summer I planted some lemon seeds from a store bought lemon. The seeds sprouted and grew to little plants.
I was not sure how they would do during autumn and winter, but luckily the lemon plants made it nicely through the dark seasons, with every green leaves intact.
The lemon plants have untill now grown in the small pots in which they were sowed, but recently I noticed that the roots had started growing out through the bottom of the pots. So it was time to repot the plants.
Today my small lemon plants were repotted into bigger pots with more soil and more room for the roots.
Fine :) Og veldig artig å ha dyrket de frem selv fra frø.
Jeg vet ikke om de kan komme med sitroner etterhvert som de vokser seg større, men jeg håper det.
So nice :) And seing them grow from seeds is very rewarding.
I'm not sure whether they will grow lemons eventually as they grow bigger, but I hope so.
Den til venstre er rabarbralikør og den røde til høyre er jordbær og rabarbra-likør.
Jordbær+rabarbra-likøren var nydelig, mens den andre ikke var like umiddelbart god... Men det er jo mulig smaken kommer seg litt etter at den har stått og modnet seg litt?
Ha en flott ny sommeruke :)
I have also strained two liqueurs today. They were made from vodka and fruits/berries from my garden some weeks ago.
The one on the left is rhubarb liqueur, and the red one to the right is strawberry and rhubarb liqueur.
The strawberry+rhubarb liqueur was delicious, while the other one did not taste like a immediate succsess... I hope it gets better after resting for some months.
Have a great new summer week :)

Så spennende med sitrontrær, da! Tanta mi har sådd epletre fra frø for noen år siden, og det bærer frukt, mener jeg å huske. Det står planta i en stor balje på terrassen hennes:). Og så mye artig du har laget i det siste. Her hos oss går det mest i maling. Gleder meg til det blir ferdig, men godt å få det unnagjort:). Fortsatt god sommer!
Those little lemon trees are so lovely!!! Amazing that they made it through the Norwegian winter!
Love from Rhodes, Hilde! :)
Your lemon trees look so good! But I´d love to know, how you make the liqueur? They look so good in those pretty bottles! Have a nice week Hilde!
What a great idea ! Your own lemon trees... I once saw lemon and orange trees in Italy, the flowers smell fantastic :)
I 'm trying to grow an avocado tree and some curcuma, also bought in the shop and it's working great !
Have a nice evening Hilde
Ingvild: Fortsatt god sommer til deg også, og lykke til med malingen :)
Anna: Thanks :) And I think so too.
Kristin: The liqueur is very easy to make. Find a jar with a tight lid and fill it up with the fruit or berry or mix of berries you prefer. Then fill up with sugar, as much as there is room for (or less if you prefer), and then pour over vodka till the jar is full. Put the lid on and let it rest for 4-6 weeks. Shake once a day. When the time is up strain off the berries and bottle the liqueur. Most homemade liqueurs needs to mature for a month or more before drinking.
It is great fun to make your own liqueur with homegrown berries, and it is also a nice gift :)
Have a nice week you too!
Marylene: How nice to grow your own avocado tree, maybe I will try that once too :) Have a lovely evening you too!
