Ah May!
If I want the month of May, physically and morally, it is surely won! phew we are 29! but I'm not at my sentences even if the end of the tunnel approach. I released since Saturday, when suddenly it's slower advance! (I am 8 am instead of 12, 7 / 7). But it was worth it: my gardens are beautiful and I almost morale. But I am broken. It's the back that said stop! And suddenly it's even more difficult, but every morning I thank you can start my day.
Many thanks to those who were able to amapiens free to participate in workshops. Thanks to them the boat does not sink! You can point out and organize a workshop: weeding, maintenance of flower beds of strawberries, poses sprinklers in the apple trees, electric fences, etc. .... just just a little nudge to stay afloat.
Ah May! What weather! Until this week, it was pretty good, except that with this humidity, strawberries are low quality and there so must sort that puts a lot of time to fill a tray and what remains in the path is not for you enjoy. But the plantings are made in good conditions and times were very satisfactory!
this terrible wind up upside down, turning more! First a bit of a greenhouse is collapsed
plantations and then on Friday (380 tomatoes), despite the wind shield that I put in place, was largely damaged, be repeated.
For melons, emergency, under the gusts, we conducted protection (nonwoven). It's heavy, we have tightened our belts and presto! Mission accomplished: melons should hold.
And tonight, two restless dreams, I heard a rainstorm, I heard thunder and hard ..... I saw my harvest compromised the day, the greenhouse collapsed because I did not have time to fix it since the wind on Tuesday and then it was well down there that we should raise this morning !!!!! all these treatments and then I did yesterday afternoon .... ..... and then washed everything that I did not do these wild boars that have ........... broke a small cerisiser that finally, after so many seasons had two cherries ........ these three parcels that have not yet ......... and that fences fertilizer I still put in baby apple .......... and all this grass that I have not yet overcome all these ......... and flat bands which are filled with strawberry runners ..... ......... .......... and it is in these moments that it wilt! It's over, I can not assess the evidence without thinking!
And then the day pointed! Then I woke up and it rained 15 mm, it is not the end of the world, I hope the damage is acceptable and that the day will be good. But the coup instead of going as soon as my breakfast swallowed (on my deck, along with doves and snails: my pleasure), I turned on my computer. Need to tell you that I hold out, but everything that is not how I wish that every day and I have to choose what is urgent and that I often tell myself that it was not! But I could not know and that .......
need to tell you that at the same time, it's so beautiful! And every day I discover, learn, grow ....... and you're there, with patience and kindness. And even if we not change the world, we did our part and together.
month of June will land with its warmth and boring here, will collapse the luxuriance bouffeuses and spiders will destroy my tomatoes! This year I planned a system to compensate for the lack of dew: a light sprinkling a few minutes to drive at sunrise. "Indeed dew energy would I go start the engine before sunrise! I hope so.
month of June brings other products in your basket desperately packed fresh and aromatic: the first peaches (which rigolées gel, survivors), greenhouse tomatoes (including the big lazy bees do not pollinate the Madagascan price of the hive: 57 €) and perhaps the first melons. Life
rhythmic with his fears and desires, but so closely linked to climatic element. Oh
this year is even more difficult for all arbo. I mean no crops destroyed by hail after they freeze. I think of them.
Saturday, on France Inter, in issuing Coffe, the arbo Alsace, Frederick, with whom I visited in late April, is invited. Not to be missed.
Kisses,
isabelle.
