Voglia di verde.

Postato il di Tra Italia e Finlandia

(English text at the bottom of post).betu (5)cc

Un’usanza finlandese ampiamente praticata dagli amanti dei giardini e del verde,  consiste nel portare in casa alcuni rametti di betulla per farli germogliare anzitempo al calduccio:  in un paio di settimane i rametti apriranno le loro gemme e spunteranno le foglioline.  Un angolo verde autentico mentre fuori si sta ancora sciogliendo l’ultima neve… Di solito si fa a fine Marzo.

Longing for some green.    

In spring,  Finnish people who love garden and green,  can carry in a few branches of birch to force the opening of the small leaves in the warmth of the home.   To us it took about two weeks,  last year,  but we enjoyed a green corner while outside the last snow was still melting…it was the end of March when we cut them.

  30. The green is very pretty! Am glad you can bring Spring inside:) Got to tell you something I just read this afternoon on the internet It is in New York, and Italians were at full volume singing Italian songs at night on their balconies! (since they could not sing at the pub or outside) Not at one, but at several apartments. I got a kick out of it:)
