Some weeks ago I had the priviledge of getting  a couple of plants from a neighbour. They were from an island outside Stockholm, in the archipelago of Stockholm. The plants are RAMSON. Ramson is in Sweden right now the hightech of cooking, everyone boasts about using ramson in their recipes. I have always wanted to let the underground of my hazel bushes have ramson covering it. And now I have the chance to make it real.

With ramson you can make the most wonderful pies (you use it as spinach) or you can make pesto, to use with almost anything eatible. Or you can use it fresh together with other salad leaves (beware of when eating them fresh, they can cause your stomach to bubble and rumble).

I digged and I fertilized and I watered and I protected against the deers with a fence. This as a week ago, and they have now started to bloom – I am so happy, I did not know if they would thrive in this soil.
