What a great time!
This magnificent time gives me a good opportunity to finish the season!
is a bazaar that's all! It's like when we had a party: you have everything back in order after! Placing the dishes, tables, wash cloths, remove strings, clean the house ..... and by the cleanliness we look back at the great party! In this one or that one! But also at the next party we will! Instead of putting the tables like this they will like that!
Well it like in the garden! We must, each flower bed, remove the remains of plants, taking out the irrigation pipes, extracting plastics mulching (and yes I still do not know but for those of plastics crap! I take part in biodegradable, but c is 2x more expensive and mostly I'm not sure they are not made with GMO corn!) work the land and sow the green manure. In my ideal garden, all this should be done in September / October! But I come Never! So this year the weather makes me the gift of a good time to do it. And as for the history of the festival as I think I can improve my systems. Ah, it took! And I'm really happy because I'm starting to see the end. And yes, this season I have not the energy of spring! Fatigue is fast there and the days are short! But it's like knitting: knit one after the other and suddenly the sweater is finished! The most important thing is to do these stitches! A little bit every day.
And what makes me very happy is that I can do as I like. And there's a real pleasure and it makes everything else work.
Both will receive the parcel that raspberries are starting to be on top! In the greenhouse, which will be planted raspberries upbound not, I am preparing since last year! Indeed, it was there that I expected the plant last year, then last fall, I had already started the preparation and finally it has been a boon to wait another year! My green manure could do its work
through. I did cut to its flowering in May. All summer he has covered the ground and this fall I was able, after the rain into the soil. And then the earth is the best! It's too good. Three lines will be planted. Each line a variety: it is the eternal question! All the same variety and harvest
like that is grouped into each basket and the quantity looks like something, but if there is a problem with this variety is all compromise and then if we collect all of a sudden, you have free up more time. So I always end up choosing diversity. Normally these crops of raspberries should have fallen when the strawberries are losing ground in early June. The greenhouse will be covered only
'Umbrella' and now I'm really happy because Jean-François (the gardener in the amap Dracénie) me given the vein to find the stuff to fix the plastic. I had this greenhouse equipped with a sprinkler on top to try to limit attacks on spiders tomatoes or strawberries. I've never reached a satisfactory outcome, but there I'll be able to pass this by my herbal garden and I'm delighted.
In open ground as it starts to get pretty. There will be three lines, three varieties too, just after the fig. The land is ready for the BFI (RCW fragmented). Last Sunday, Françoise and Jacques have come to spend some time and we started clearing brush from the neighbor to remove
all this shadow! Fabien peasant Tourtour myself ready (rents) are mill and the second week of December we will be able to activate! On each incoming line will be applied from the grinding cost of this wood alive is a contribution of organic matter while making a living contribution to fertilization. It will be incorporated into the soil gently and in February the plants will be planted. In
planting or just before when I prepare, will be composted. These raspberries are tonics. A small crop in the spring and a real harvest in late August. In 2010, we have some raspberries in the fall of the culture there. But it was in 2011 that it will start to be nice. Finally if all goes well! I made my
composts on the two sites. It went great! The spreader has derailed just a lil 'time! Must say we put the package: the Arthur mini-shovel load, Gino sprawled on the floor does not leave the strategic location of the eyes and my hand on the handle to stop the machine! And yes I can not watch the strategic location and be ready to stop! " And I can not load and leave the machine running slowly! Because if it derails and is not stopped immediately, and bin it all and then twists it takes to repair the enormous size! Whereas if it derailed just a few laps
wrench and a bit of dexterity everything returns to normal. I incorporated the biodynamic preparations of plants and covered everything with a good layer of straw that Stéphane old farmer gave me in Cannet. And in three months I begin to use it. Will arise again the eternal question of the load and the spreader that derail! I would find a solution! Between
I did my first treatment on trees in reserve from algae, boron, calcined clay and a thin copper. I'll do two more and then I'll start in February on the few peach trees that remain.
I had planned to replant hundreds of peach trees on two plots at each site. But I can not find the plants I want! I'll end up buying maybe only the rootstock and the graft myself varieties I want. That's really complicated these nursery! I'm really too small for the professionals and really too big for the fans!!
to graft myself two year delay fruit set! ah, patience! It's one thing I must learn! Good until I make my plots even better! With
Lucien, yesterday we went to dig up wild cherry to rootstock and we planted directly in place. They will be grafted crest this summer. We
(with Lucien) replanted the bed of verbena. It was all overgrown with grass and the line was in the old sense of alignment! Now that I have restructured the plot at planting fig trees was not at all parallel. It is now in it's common sense and good weed! I
remains the collection of mint that I already wanted to do in May !!!!! and then I have a strawberry variety, the "granny", I would not like losing and I should have done in the spring, but I too much fluff.
We had our first meeting of the management group at the end of the small rainy season where I have done all the assessments. It is always a highlight for me these meetings. The second will not be long. I have the goal of reducing the number of contract and does not increase the price! I will wish to
daily to do what needs to be done without 12 hours a day in summer and do not always take over contract for still more workers!! fewer contracts, fewer workers! he'll have to find balance.
In all cases, it is really too great to be your peasant to do great job and besides you know all.
