Spring is such an exciting time for plant lovers! I love seeing my plants finally flourish after a dark winter. It gets so dark in Finland during winter I actually had to move the most sensitive plants from windowsill to kitchen under the sink light.

I got many plant losses last year during a thrip invasion but at this point I'm just grateful I finally got rid of them last year. I had to cut my several meters long passion fruit vine down to a stick so I'm super happy to see it flourish again.

Remember to check on your plants often and deal with bugs as early as possible. Throw away the plants that are badly infected - if you take cuttings keep them isolated and shower them frequently. I have most of my plants in water instead of soil so it's easy to give them regular showers just in case.

It's a shame that the fruits of the passion flower that's growing in one neighbour's garden over our wall, and which we're guiding along it now, apparently taste pretty awful and aren't recommended. We like the look of the plant as a whole and have bought some of our own to plant along the opposite wall where it will hopefully use the bamboo screening as a base to clamber up and further shield us from other neighbours.

Our raspberry canes continue to be the source of lots of bee activity; bees really, really like raspberry canes, it turns out. Fruit is emerging on them now with some of the larger green ones now showing hints of pink on them.

Looked up what sort of passion flower we have growing over the wall and it seems it's passiflora caerulea so edible fruits eventually, although unpleasant ones by all accounts.

An exotic, tropical and showy bloom, the Passion Flower is a climber and an exquisite addition to the summer garden. The purple Passion bloom is a symbol of the life and death of Christ. Just sold this print!
