Here is the first time I visited Høst Duedahl-Andersen to see his strawberry trees and his wierd tree, that should have tomatoes on them *lol* It was love at first sight and deep awe. Like Monika he had all his Brugs in all year pots. During summer the pots was digged down in the flower beds and in the fall he just slided a spade down along the pots and up they go. It was not because he was lazy. He was 86 years old at that time and had a lot of stories to tell. His demens had slowly started when I first got to know him, but he took it humoursly *lol* He had this immense Ginko Bilobula in his garden and he used to harvest the leaves and soaken in alkohol. "Its good for the brain!" he said, "I know it probably won`t help, but it make it funnier to grow old" *lol* That was him in a nutshell.
