Gimme a Break From the sky we poured all his reserves and plunged us in amazement, the weather is a wonder that stability. Nice and warm: the lively holiday! No wind, no differences from one day to another, without surprises! A small, I do not like the dew has significantly decreased since Sunday.
As if the weather gave us the time it takes to get back! As convalescence! But is it possible to recover from such a shock! Oh we do not forget, you get used! And the scars remain, even if it fade into the landscape in our hearts, it's there.
And even if my trees are in their royal plot all fair, who knows how they heal! Anyway, for now, apples are carpos there and seems to have been washed away with water. Overall
all is well in the gardens. Although the basin level decreases rapidly, even if the heat knocks us, even if the days are long and even though my melons explode! is the variety that bursts "Cyrano." Melons are very big and I can not find the trick to keep them all closed and presentable! And then I think they are uneven in their quality buds. And melonières are capricious. Of course after the flood, as on grapes, downy mildew is given away to their heart. I was surprised because I was already on all fronts! Finally the other! I was so annoyed at not being able to anticipate. I tried the old varieties, but really it's squash! Either I have not understood the exact time of harvest!
parcel of grapes, despite the blight, is beautiful and the first variety (prima) will soon be started. I would love to continue planting this winter. I found a Swiss nurseryman who is resistant varieties and good flavor. I think I'll go for a ride in autumn there. He keeps in his fridge, so we can taste everything at once it seems. Speaking of the fridge, I battle this year with the strawberries that were too hot all day and 'flow' in your cups. And peaches made me suddenly twisted! They have matured suddenly just a Friday when it is the smallest amap! Then you remember I had found a large trailer cooler. And last year I put in my Galia melons and had moldy! I just installed an air conditioning inside (which takes a lot of space!) with ventilation and it seems fine. But suddenly I have to manage the preparation of distrib otherwise: the 'fridge' is Peissonnel and I am preparing in my garage!!
Despite the flower beds of strawberries lost in the floods, you have a good harvest! New flower beds work well. Super. Well the corn they are not too great! we'll see. The
tomatillos and squash the saint-jean do not welcome all! Yet those I could tell how to cook and they really tried, they are all welcome.
Since Thursday, the three rotations of tomatoes explode and you 4 to 5 kg per basket. I think that's the maximum you wish to have. I decided, and I hope that you will not be unhappy, if it exceeds this amount, I give the most to amapiens farm disaster Lawrence and Corine Fortage. I think doing the same with the squash of St. John. I could also do this with strawberries, but then I do not arrive in time for harvest.
And I must tell you a very good thing for me: my back pain took a vacation for 6 weeks, they are quite acceptable!! a amapienne Vidauban, Paulette Marie, told me his experience and offered me to take the pulp of aloe vera. And voila! What happiness!
Since Friday night my dad is there. His activity, his passion is the management of rivers. He was able to give me serious advice to shape and maintain the stream Peissonnel. Well, he has a look so expert that it is difficult to put it all into practice with so few resources. But I think little by little you can do. By
cons neighbors on the other side of the creek Peissonnel are not at all happy with the sound I'm doing: chainsaw, brush cutter, tractor very early morning hours (to cool)! I made them a little letter to relieve my gut! and talking with fellow farmers, I learn that one has the right to 6am to 22:30. So ... ..
Stephanie (my employee) takes a week off. Yann (my intern) is here, but it will just Monday and Thursday! if you know what to do! Meet at 6am at the logs for the tomatoes, then rises to Peissonnel.
Enjoy all our excesses (even heat), they do not last.
