❄️🌼Summer begins in winter!

Now in winter is the best time to be inspired, learn and prepare for a wonderful growing season! I have therefore received the best growing books that you can now buy in a package offer together with our best plant ointments! Knowledge and inspiration for the head and the universal ointments Chamomile Balm and Calendula Balm for the body! This way you can enjoy nature on your skin long before nature wakes up to life again, and you have the best to repair and heal your garden hands, which I guarantee will get you going after you have read these great, practical books 👐 🌱

I am so happy and proud to be able to sell the fabulously good books of the very talented Maria Berg Hestad.

In the book "Grow Easily" , she shares the best and most practical tips for getting started, and not least for achieving and succeeding with growing. Because a kitchen garden is truly the way to the good life, if you ask Maria and myself 😁 

You can buy the book as a package with Vossabia Chamomile Balm HERE .

Chamomile balm is also a great salve for "gardening" (which should be a new verb 😉). Dry and cracked fingertips can easily become a daily occurrence from digging in the ground and everything that goes with gardening, but Chamomile balm easily fixes that! In addition to so much else.

Happiness is a greenhouse ☀️🌱

Maria Berg Hestad has also written the brilliant book Dyrk enkelt MED DRIVHUS , and her big favorite for most is our Marigold Salve! So there had to be a package deal with these two.

Calendula Balm and the book GROW SIMPLY WITH GREENHOUSES (Maria Berg Hestad) in a package with 15% 💚 kr 534.00

I think it's perfect to launch this offer now in January, as it's time to start preparing for this year's greenhouse season!

If you dream of your own tomatoes, chillies, peppers, eggplant, physalis and perhaps even more late-growing plants, then the time has come to pre-cultivate now (January, February, March).

Check out Maria's 📙 book and be both inspired and a little wiser 😁

In my plant room in the old basement of our house from 1879, I had some great plant lights hung up a few years ago and can start sowing in there now 🌱🌱 and then put out strong, beautiful plants in the greenhouse when the time comes. The greenhouse is also perfect for sowing plants that will later be planted out, such as cabbage varieties etc.

Jonatan and I in our one greenhouse. Good tomatoes 😋🍅

There is really a lot of fun, fun and enjoyment with greenhouses for both young and old. From autumn to spring, it is our chickens 🐓 who get to enjoy themselves in the greenhouse 😊 They get protection, well-being and warmth, and we get to till the soil, fertilize and weed, so it is perfect soil until we bring in seedlings and can plant right in the ground there. Good collaboration, right? 🐔💃

🌼 Calendula !

I grow Calendula both outdoors in abundance, AND inside my greenhouse, between physalis and tomato plants, as a ground cover and green manure that strengthens soil life and at the same time provides lots of joy and health!

Check out what Maria writes about Calendula on their website 👇

"I have sworn by this ointment for many years. I use it for everything; as a face cream, lip balm, for dry garden hands and eczema in children. I also use it to remove stubborn makeup :) This is all in one - very practical when traveling. We don't need any other cream, and it is incredibly long-lasting." 

Get seeds of beautiful Hollyhock 🥀

Something else that can be grown in your own garden is the perennial hollyhock: a fantastic garden plant, a great cultural and medicinal plant 🥀💖 

A couple of years ago I bought organic hollyhock seeds from the best seed company I know, Solhatt (where I buy most of my seeds, check solhatt.no ). I sowed indoors in about March-April, and then planted out in the garden in May-June. ☀️️ It produces beautiful, colorful flowers and grows up to 2.5m tall. Here on the farm I have many, and they stand firm in all kinds of weather, and impress everyone. Then they come back year after year 😊 Look, so nice: 

At the end of autumn, the hollyhock produces many "capsules" full of seeds, and this year I collected a huge number of them. That is, organically produced here at our farm. 

So I want to give that to you 🎁 👇
