Last summer i started a gardening project at my cabin in Telemark. I have about 3.500 sq. meters "terrain" where i can do what ever i want with it. So, i took the plunge at worked trough my plan.
Here are some photos of the project
First it was nothing as you can see here
One stone moved
More stones carried to make a place to plant grapes and tomatoplants.
Two grapeplants settled
With a little help of my tractor:
And now more stones and grape plants
View form the other side
Coming along, more grape plants now
View from above
The grapes are coming along all right with tomato plants
The finnished "product"
The view from the sitting group
Entrance to the garden above the constructed pictured in the above series (Was constructed two years ago)
Other side of the entrance. Potatos, beans, carriots and other edible stuff planted and some roses
Results, tomatos and grapes late summer
And everything has and end, a winter view. Now i'm looking forward to the summer again :-)
good stuff...what elevation are you at the cabin?.....im also curious as to where this is..but i know its not to cool to ask that.
Its not very high about 250 meters and the place is about 150 km from Oslo where i live, The neares city is called Bø.
Here is how it was couple of years ago:
Hey All,
Very nice! And a pretty place as well.
But let me get to the important thing... What kind of tractor? What kind of guitar? Looks like 000 size 12 fret? Spruce over rosewood? Tractors and guitars are two of my favorite things.

here is a vid...
My heroes have always been cowboys and they all carried guns-
and they all rode horses-that is all but one.
When he went to the rescue he flew a Cessna plane.
His ranch was called the "Flying Crown" and "Sky King" was his name. -Jim Dilly-

That was amazing LOL, The guitar is an old Kimbara among several others i have. The tractor is a Volvo BM 400 from 1969:Originally Posted by EasyEd
And here me driving it, works like a clock :
And heres another guitar (Gibson Les Paul)
Hey All,
Nice pics! I was wondering if that tractor was volvo or valmet - looked to be of that 50s 60s era and the red looked right. I've always liked Valmet even though not very common in North America.
Nice video - the (Bolinder?) diesel sounds great.
Nice old Les Paul - I have a Martin GPCPA4 sitka over rosewood, a Sigma 000 and a Gretsch Projet. Looking to add a Tele this year. I'm working on relearning what I used to know - which wasn't a lot to start with. Just keeping mind and fingers working.
As for gardens my wife is the gardener - I just rototill and eat the results!

I don't play the guitar and I know nothing about tractors but I will gladly sit down in one of those chairs and enjoy the music of either of the above while looking at that wounderful view you have as the sun sets and that stary night appears.
Nice job on your garden and loved yor vid as well Ed
Jim
Nice looking patch!
When I saw the views - my immediate thought was - Hmm...hill..trees...upslope...bushfires..., but, I guess you don't suffer much from those in Norway.
What's the rock...granite?
Looks like a useful tractor - we've got a 1939 Allis Chalmers my wife rebuilt - lovely little thing but a bit limited in useability.
