In the örtahaven it could be the Imperial crowns, lavender, hyssop, marigolds, Pentecost lilies and lilac. - There was also someone ransomed a cottage and used it as a small farm without obligation to do day labor. - The House was often a roof for cabin, cottage, kitchen and maybe a House. The room where the family lived could be 3 x 3 meters. The decor was simple and utensils used were few. Woodshed and dass was missing almost always.
