Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003. Love the outdoor life, gardening and sailing especially. View my profile

Chantarelle Mushrooms - Free Food from the Forest


Delicious and free!

Can it get any better?


The last day of August gave us a day of glorious sunshine and I went for a long and lovely walk in the woods. Pure pleasure to walk in the woods in company with a lot of birds and butterflies. To my big surprise I have seen an incredible number of beautiful butterflies today evidently that means that the summer is not over yet. Warm and pleasant too and hardly any wind at all, it said 16 degrees on the car thermometer when I was on my way home. The basket was full of wonderful mushrooms, chanterelles mushrooms, golden chanterelle Cantharellus cibarius mostly but also some other nice ones. A favourite is what we call 'Karl Johan' - Porcino Boletus edulis  I just love finding those they are so good to slice up and dry, they are very useful in the winter dishes like caserols, stews and soups.





Sista dagen i Augusti bjöd på solsken och en underbar skogspromenad. Ren njutning att få vandra i skogen i sällskap med fåglar och en massa fjärilar. Ja dröm om min förvåning men idag har jag sett otroligt många vackra fjärilar så än är inte sommaren slut. Varmt och skönt var det också, 16 grader stod det på bilens termometer när jag skulle åka hemåt. Korgen blev härligt full av svamp, mestadels kantareller Cantharellus cibarius  men även några fina soppar. Karl Johan Boletus edulis tycker jag så mycket om att hitta för de torkar jag och hartill matlagning hela vintern tillsammans med höstkantarellerna som kommer snart. Det ser jag fram emot.
