Remote Control For My Fireplace

The garden 3: garlic, datterini, zucchini and their flowers



quest'afa Sorry for the delay, but the constant movement and I have left little time to devote to cooking and this recipe quick and easy is the proof. Other
capitolodedicato vegetable and its incredible products that this month is certainly no shortage.
Given my passion for all that is behind the food and then for the land and its products I want to begin to share with you observations, knowledge, doubts and thoughts related to nature and its many facets ... never forget the kitchen

;-) But let's recipe:
As always it is totally handmade pasta, a natural drying produced with organic flour milled stone. .. so with considerable porosity ... In a pan saute garlic
(fresh in this case) in the oil and mix the vegetables are good datterini ... then add the courgettes and the end of the zucchini flowers.
Drain the pasta and finish cooking in the pan by adding the cooking water and good cheese to whip .... you will create a delicious spaghetti and cream that will cover the various parts of the sauce ...
Buen Provecho!!

;-) Now, about the garden ... one year since I started to get interested in the thought and its practical applications, I decided to transform the backyard into a natural experiment ... a totally organic garden in which there is even the word poison and fertilizer or chemical synthesis vertilizzante as if you will.
Exploits consiociazioni between the various species of plants, the soil and its microorganisms compared with compost and natural fertilizers such as wood ash and bone, grass clippings and manure classic.
Today I had the pleasure of seeing the dragonflies flutter in the meadow and knowing the sensitivity of these insects I'm excited to see them fly carefree ...
But let's start talking some plants ...


'd start with one of the queens gardens username: His Majesty the eggplant .... part of the family Solanaceae, the same as tomatoes, potatoes and peppers ... all originating in the Americas.
are important consumers, indeed, is very strong this year ... as you can see they have responded well to a fertilizer to the transplantation of bone manure mixed with ash and lime with coltivatele mature .... not only the addition of nitrogen fertilizers such as manure .... otherwise flourish but will hardly produce fantastic fruit by purifying:)
Endorsed the mixture with salad, onions and basil ... it makes it very well with the eggplant and fertilizer used to grow rigolgioso and beautiful.
The land, the land is a set of forms of life ... a great mass of living organisms (insects, fungi, bacteria, etc, etc) that settle according to their needs ... the aerobic baterri will stay on the surface while that use anaerobic processes will stay lower, away from oxygen.
From here arises the question that the spontnea biocoltivatori facing for years: that is the purpose of work, digging and dumping the earth?
has not ... that's not how you create a soft ground ... even kill billions of microorganisms that are evicted from their homes .... ever put a fish in the mountains?
The ground is weeded on the surface and all are lying Concini surface, including the compost over time .... this will lead to soft ground and full of life ... to dig the earth also is 50-60 cm in the traditional custom but the damage to microorganisms which are the basis of an organic garden is overshadowed by a deadly use of fertilizers based on nitrates that accumulate large amounts of water in the products, making them look good but heavy and tasteless .... lascatevi not fooled by common sense .... even the earth can die, even the earth is alive and killing the man that wants to profit maniacal masked by the excuse of having to feed the world ...

Also here's the nightshade family of peppers ... this needs a fertilizer balanced enough where stalactites off (thanks to the water, the nitrogen present in manure is released in the form of ammonia) with the ash of bones. All
solanacce (as the name tells us) need sun, lots of sunshine would not produce their magnificent fruits.



solanaceae Moving on to another, the king of the sun and our tables ... this is the tomato.
, too, the contribution of numerous large fertilizer and care during its vegetative life.
welcomed, and the mixture with the cabbage that will grow up healthy and without attacks by insects fond of the leaves ... the smell that you feel walking among the tomato is a molecule that removes the effect natural pesticide harmful cabbage.
thrives between sage and rosemary and even in this favorable case is the mixture with the basil in the midst of these plants will smell more than ever ... as well as the celery




Let us now Another very important family, low fuel consumption and nitrogen inputs: legumes, which for the moment there instead of juicy tongue of fire beans.
These plants do not require nitrogen fertilizers such as manure, but to them it should be wood ash and the bone will grow ... full of flowers and healthy without suffering attacks by which the mosaic virus and will not be attacked by aphids
It should be the mixture with marigolds marigolds and that have substantial benefit on the ground ... keep it under control the action of namatodi




The last place a picture of a bunch of blackberries ripening:)
