Vegetable garden in July morning

Welcome to my gardening blog, dedicated to north gardening and growing zone 5!

Dace Pinka - blog's author

My name is Dace and I’m from Latvia. I’m living in an old countryside house with a beautiful garden surrounding it. Gardening and landscape design are my passions, and I love sharing my knowledge with others.

On my blog, you’ll find practical tips and tricks for north gardening, as well as design inspiration for your outdoor space. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, I hope you’ll find something useful here.

As the saying goes, “There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments.” So let’s experiment and learn together in the wonderful world of north gardening!

My dog girl Zuze

She will be visible (most probably) in a lot of pictures and definitely can’t miss any action in the garden.

I also have another dog girl (more like a granny now) and two cats, where one of them is visible in the first picture.
