's go!
Emergency international association founded in 2004 following the first AMAP symposium in Aubagne has received funding from the Fondation de France for a spin-off program of the CSA concept in the countries of Eastern Europe. With Sylvain of AMAP in Dracénie we went to Latvia from February 14 to 19! We had prepared a slide show and here we are, three times in seminars, trying to tell our experiences ... to be continued ........ AMAP we will make a slideshow of these great moments and we will propose in your CSA or an inter-AMAP.
Urgenci spinoff founders gives farmers the means to be replaced. I took advantage. And before leaving, I had plumbed the farm. With Stephanie, my employee who takes service, we cleaned strawberries.

With a team from the 'lift the sun', we planted all the posts for additional planting apple trees and the wire for trellising.

We repaired the structure of the greenhouse on strawberry (which had been completely smashed by the wind in June 2008)
is ready to be covered.

And especially with my son, Arthur, I did the first treatment of peach with a lance and pipes. It was impossible entering the field! Still flooded. This treatment, based calcined clay (as Baraka), copper and a terpene pine is very important. It prevents blisters on opening and isolates the first attacks on aphids.
My Mom is coming to replace me at home and cuddled my children. She also gave a serious blow sponge! What a pleasure to go into a house all proprounette !!!!( I forgot!) Today, after the train ride home (my mom), I've got to work!

An action which tends to limit the effects of frost, the grass is maintained well in the open field! What I wanted to do! Tomorrow, my friend Hubert farmer will get me out!!

Peaches are about to bloom, at least some varieties. Two pallets of candles have been delivered.

I bought (300 €) this caravan, to be on site at critical times. Well, everything remains in place. Not announced the coldest yet. And time is on top. The
signing contracts is ongoing. There are AMAP where it is done very quickly and others where it trains. I remind you that if the ancients did not sign at the end of February, we consider that they do not renew their contract and accept the new! then this is the last time !!!!!
The table of planning has confused some people! It white beaches that opportunities materialize !
I have not listed your proposals and so I have not yet 'on' workshops! I
account do it quickly. Your choices will be best met.
This week (9), I get the strawberry plants bare root, and 80 apples. Strawberries start in clumps. Because of all this rain I could not prepare beds for planting directly in the game. But if you get the tractor out tomorrow, I can make one!
The nursery (seedlings and put a lump of vegetable) is well under way! We've already done 3 or 4 workshops.
Have you heard like birds singing? Have you seen the flowers p'tites that link?
That's it! There's more to daydream! My
Lucien is always functional rehabilitation center at (Renée Sabran) in Giens. It goes well and has high spirits. But his absence from home is sometimes heavy.
