Odla Örter Blommor & Blad

Agnes and Mauritz Larsson Stormgaard have worked at some of Sweden’s top restaurants, but seven years ago, they began growing vegetables full-time on their farm in Grödinge, just outside Stockholm. Growing their own produce has given them a deep understanding of how vegetables work and what types of preparation best bring out the unique qualities of each variety.

The book follows the growing season, from sowing seeds to harvesting and how to care for your crops along the way. You’ll get tips on how to keep your plants healthy and strong, and learn about the various stages leaves, shoots, and flowers go through. Curious growers can discover a wide range of flavors from a single plant by closely following its development – vegetables can be harvested at many different stages, from tiny sprouts to full maturity. Many plants we grow for their beauty also work wonderfully in the kitchen, such as marigold, anise hyssop, and sunflower.
