more obligatory cute baby pixs
November 20, 2003
From Halloween this time. Say it with me now--awwwwwww and eeeeeee.
Also, for amateur botanists, I could use a hand IDing these two plants. Mystery growth #1, which was sprouting in the shade near the garage, and mystery growth #2, which was in a very overgrown veggie bed where I also unearthed these carrots. Yes, the one at the top of the shot is a big 'un. Think softball, not golf ball.
Mystery growth # 2 -
looks like what Swedish Grandmother of Pip call 'kirskål'.
cannot be got rid of unless you're into agent orange.
but not being a botanist and not even knowing what you'd call that stuff in english i'd suggest i shut up.
looks edible though.

Melissa: She is, isn't she. We tremble at what she be like as a teenager. We are doomed.
Rob: While I appreciate the info, my Swedish doesn't really extend beyond "aquavit" and a few names for herring. Sorry.

Adrienne!
Got off my lazy bum and looked up kirskål in the dictionary - it's in there!!
Kirskål is Ground Elder and not Bergssyra which is Sheep sorrell (as named in the later post). You learn something new everyday, or at least a couple of days after ;-)
