On the 2nd of July 2017 I did a tour of open gardens in the Lahti area of Finland to see the plants and flowers people have in their gardens. Quiet and interesting experience which revealed a bit of history of the area
Eija, my wife, is from north Karelia and studied at Kansankorkeakoulu university and also worked in Lahti for two summers. later lived in Helsinki and also lived in many countries with Youth with a mission. Now a Canadian citizen! I ave to say that I enjoy all of your videos that share the Finnish outdoors and culture.
The squash are growing well but are being eaten by Colorado beetles at the moment, I am spraying them with a mix of dish soap vegetable oil and water, it seems to be helping. Cheers. :-}
Do they understand you? I mean, how is your scandahoovian from their perspective? As an Englishman living in Canada after 25 years there are many people here that do not understand a word I say. When the sun comes out, you live in a beautiful place. Magic mate :-)
I speak Finnish like a parrot... that is to say I make sounds and people if they are gracious interperate as being Finnish. I get by but my grammar is horrible. I really enjoyed going around looking at other folks gardens. That old lady with the Chinese hat looked like she was using mulch on her veggie garden cos rarely a weed could be seen.
