Welcome to my homepage!
My name is Magnar Aspaker. I'm a teacher. My wife's name is Toril. We have two grown up children. We live in Harstad, North Norway, around 69º north, 200 km north of the arctic circle. This may seem very far north, but because Harstad is situated close to the sea; actually we live on the biggest island in Norway; it's not so cold here in winter. We normally have a good winter cover of snow. But the summers are short and may be quite cool. Max temperature is 28C..min -16C. Still during the growing season we
have daylight 24 hours a day. The sun never sets from May 24 to July 20.
This gives a long growing season even if the summer is short.

When you go to the
books, they tell you about a lot of plants unsuitable for our region, and this just because no one
has ever tried them here
before.
So I've been trying out a lot, and have proved that much more plants can grow here without any cover during winter. At the
moment I have close to 2000 different perennials in my garden. See my list of
plants. You will find around 825 plant pics..all taken in our garden.
60
pics added 2011.

I am always interested in seed exchange and contact with people, especially those living in same zone as I, for exchange of experience with plants. My seedlist can be found under TRADE in the left window.
Thank you for visiting my homepage. Please e-mail me if you have comments, are interested in exchange, or just to
say hello!
Please sign my guestbook!!
