Many thanks to Ane Mari Aakernes (<3) for putting this play list of Youtube videos she and Berit Børte (<3) made of me last year. All these videos have been shown before but if you click on “Show More” under each video you will now see a list of plant time links or index to each film. If you click on the time tag, it takes you straight to the part of the film I’m talking about that plant! Names are given both in Norwegian, English and Latin!!
First up in the play list is the 6 part film series “Stephen’s salad” where we wander around the garden in mid-May 2017 and pick many of the perennials, in prime condition for picking, which end up in an Extreme salad with 211 different ingredients!
The last 3 films, which are similarly tagged to make it easy for you to find a particular plant, are from the 3 hour Around the World in 80 plants talk at the Hurdal Ecovillage in Norway on 29th January 2017 (in English), a year ago on Monday!
In the picture of the production team: From left to right: Extreme salad ingredients (all 211 of them), Ane Mari Aakernes, Berit Børte and ESM with the Trondheimsfjord beyond!
The only picture I took during Saturday’s two edible plant tours of Hurdal Ecovillage, the farm, the rectory garden (Prestegårdshagen) and the CSA scheme (andelsbruk)! This was part of Høstivalen (The Ecovillage’s autumn festival). I was particularly pleased by the fact that the daughter of one of my heroes, Ivar Torp (see page 44 of https://okologisklandbruk.nlr.no/media/ring/3550/2014/%C3%98L%20nr%201_2014%20epostfil.pdf ) joined the tour, although I wasn’t aware of it until afterwards! She has now taken over Ivar’s property!
Her er min bilde-dokumentasjon av plantene i Prestegårdshagen i Hurdal funnet under to besøk i juli 2017 før evt restaurering / nyplanting kommer i gang!
Se også bildene av nøttekråkene, cembrafuru (det er 4 trær i hagen!) og pinjenøtter her: http://www.edimentals.com/blog/?p=12512
Nøttekråkene også spiser og hamstrer hasselnøtter, som var plantet (levende lysthus) og forvillet!

Aquilegia vulgaris, akeleie
Digitalis purpurea, revebjelle
Ukjent rose
parthenocissus quinquefolia
Ugressklokke
Thalictrum simplex?
Rosa rugosa, rynkerose langs kanten i øst
Rosa rugosa, rynkerose
Rosa rugosa, mørk
Rosa rugosa rotskudd
Hybridkonvall? (Polygonatum x hybridum) evt. storkonvall
En hassel lyshus er et element vi bør ta vare på; hassel er et viktig treslag i hagen for fuglene, spettmeis, spettene og nøttekråkene; vi håper også å kunne plante noen storfruktete hassel her; bør fornyes
Hasselnøtter; trær finnes også andre steder i hagen, mest sannsynlig forvillet
Firblad
Hosta “Fortunei Albomarginata” og fagerfredløs (Lysimachia punctata)
Hosta “Fortunei Albomarginata”
Telekia speciosa?
Store osp i nord øst
Ospeskudd overalt i gresset og små trær i bedene
Sibirertebusk, Caragana arborescens…et av de mest lovende flerårige ertevekster for kalde strøk; fiksere nitrogen..
Sibirertebusk erter er spiselig, men det er mye arbeid…
Hosta “Fortunei Albomarginata” rundt damen og fontenen; Hosta er spiselige og gode!

Strutseving er tydeligvis plantet inn i bedet nærmest huset…vokser vilt i skogen sør vest for hagen og langs elven
Krossved?
Storkonvall og dukkehus
En musserong
Spisslønn finnes det en del av….skal være nest beste til lønnesirup etter sukkerlønn
To store bjørk i sør vest
Bjørk
Et av de tre epletrærne i den sørvestlige hjørne; bare noen få frukt
Dette området kan bli aktuelt å plante en skogshage og, bakerst, et område med tradisjonelle norske grønnsaker (Plantearven)
Geitrams har invadert sørkanten
Strutseving og mjødurt i skogen sør vest for hagen! Strutseving-skudd har blitt populær om gourmet og sanket mat de siste årene..
Forvilla rips i skogen

Matskogen kunne kanskje plantes i forgrunn
Store osp: masse ospeskudd er klar i skogsbunnen

Rosenspiraea er invasiv i sør og sør øst
Philadelphus i den sør-østlige hjørne

Acer spp.
Lind i den nord-østlig hjørne har de beste spiselige blad…brukes i blandingssalater

Bedene foran prestegårdene bør plantes opp med kjente Edimentals for å gi en typisk prestegårdslook
Ormerot er en gammel spiselig prydvekst i Norge (Polygonum bistorta)
Bergenia og Hosta; Bergenia er en vanlig teplante i Russland
Hosta skudd selges i de fleste supermarked i Japan på våren. Disse plantene ble flyttet fra slottshagn i Oslo i år!
Stor bjørk og 4 cembrafuru, som nøttekråkene er veldig glad i; prestegårdshagen er et av bare noen få lokaliteter for nøttekråke i dette området: flere bilder kan sees her: http://www.edimentals.com/blog/?p=12512
I was blown away by Kerstin Lye’s garden in the Hurdal Ecovillage….a great example of a naturalistic polycultural mix of perennials and annuals and a great inspiration for the other ecovillagers….Kerstin has clearly worked very hard from the start in developing her garden! Thanks for showing me around!
t’s like a dream come true wandering around the Ecovillage at Hurdal with veggies everywhere!
….shame that the houses weren’t built with cellars…but the solution is to build your own root cellar…
Entering Kerstin Lye’s garden and I’m greeted by a familiar face, the climbing spinach from the Caucasus (Hablitzia tamnoides) is happy here in Hurdal..and where Habbies are Happy, I am habby too ;)
Hostas in the shade of the house!
I hadn’t expected such an abundance of vegetables, many perennials when i entered Kerstin’s garden, she had clearly devoted a lot of time to developing her own paradise, complete with a root cellar….
Malva
Allium victorialis
Ligularia fischeri (I had had seed with me when I talked in Hurdal in the winter!)
I’m visiting Hurdal Ecovillage again this weekend, so thought I would post this album of pictures from the Nordic Permaculture Festival held there in August 2013! https://www.facebook.com/events/219614368452015/
Johan Swärd talked about old grains including Svedjerugen, yes this rye, an integral part of the slash and burn agriculture practised by the Svedje-Finns, is really this tall!
Svedjerug straw!
The barn where I gave my talk!
The festival produced most of its veggies on-site!
The organisers!
Prestegården from 1837 is part of the Ecovillage! I had a look in the garden for old garden edimentals!
Last weekend’s Around the World in 80 plants talk which was broadcast live Around the World is now available on Youtube in 3 parts – for all you Facebookless out there :)
Presenting the entire 3 hour Around the World in 80 plants talk (in English for the first time), which was live streamed yesterday from Kjøkkenhagen in Hurdal Ecovillage, Norway across the world wide web . Links to the 3 parts, so far only on Facebook here:
Some 100 vegetable fanatics had found their way to Hurdal for this “sell out” event. A fantastic international crowd of knowledgeable folks of all ages! Thanks specially to Berit Børte who arranged and promoted the event and to Ane Mari Aakernes for filming!! I’ll be back!!
Thanks also to the board of the newly established Norwegian Seed Savers organisation who had a successful steering committee meeting without me in parallel with my talk…you’ll see them at the end of Part 3!
The vegetable crowd!
Perennial vegetables, Edimentals (plants that are edible and ornamental) and other goings on in The Edible Garden
