Girdles For A Twelve Year Old

SOWING THE GARDEN

spring sowing in the field and in protected, warm bed and trays.

"It's time to plant the vegetables planted by mid-April onwards.

How to anticipate the spring sowing
Some time ago we dedicated a post to the various techniques of planting, you can take all year, but are just at the time that is about to open their moment of maximum spread in the gardens household. Most of the vegetables we grow in our garden, in fact, begin with the end of their growing season to give us fresh vegetables from spring, when the baskets will begin again to fill the shortage after the winter. Who wants to anticipate the growing cycle of its own vegetables can proceed Forced sowing in seedbeds, boxes or cells.

The seedlings are small plots of land where it worked fine plant for the production of bare-root seedlings can be transplanted in the ground when the weather allows. To anticipate the spring crops can be useful to build seedlings in sheltered areas or tunnels, in order to protect the plants from cold winds and frosts last winter. Even more effective, but laborious, is the adoption of the technique of sowing in a warm bed, ie seedlings in artificially heated or through the use of devices to recreate the natural conditions of ideal temperature for the proper germination of the species that are to be grown. We'll spend the near future a post to build a nursery manure heated using specially placed under the seedbed.

Semenzato open field

An alternative to the use of seedlings can be sown in boxes, ideal for the production of a small amount of seedlings. To overcome the shortage of available space in the cassette can be useful, a few weeks after germination, transplanting the seedlings in pots where they will further grow in the way of waiting for the definitive transplant in the ground.

This type of planting and is particularly suitable for those who, not having available large spaces in the garden to be dedicated to the construction of tunnels or battens, they still want to anticipate their crops, perhaps taking advantage of the ability to move boxes in sheltered areas at night to protect them from frost and outdoors during the day to enjoy the light of the increasingly longer spring days.
What use is the hot bed for sowing or at room temperature, the use of seedlings and cassettes can be employed for vegetable crops that tolerate well, transplantation, but entails high risks of failure for all the vegetables, conversely, are particularly sensitive to these cultural practices.
In this case is a particularly good seed in pots or cells, consisting of basement seeds in small pots or trays filled with potting soil (usually one to three seeds per cubicle) and the subsequent thinning, leaving a plant for each cell. This technique allows the production of seedlings with bread of land that can easily be deployed at home in the open when the weather allows, without causing any damage to the roots and to minimize the stress due to transplantation.

Semenzato repaired

Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, basil, radicchio, lettuce and cabbage are well suited to transplant bare root, and then sowing in seed beds or boxes. For cucurbits will not mandatory to use the jars, given the great difficulties that the roots of these plants to take root after abrupt transplants.

Scarola orobica increasingly niche

'Weekend tasty' to be harnessed to

His heart is pure and crisp flavor is mild but, unfortunately, is disappearing from the tables of Bergamo which are often the first to ignore their existence. The escarole Bergamo is a niche production (farmers who cultivate around the walls are now less than 10) that is valued. Hence the initiative launched by Bergamo market providing 'weekend tasty "aimed at promoting the vegetable its characteristic of our territory. "The initiative - as explained in via Borgo Palazzo - will take place in the last two weekends in February and is to enter the menus of 10 restaurants in Upper Town members one or more specialties escarole Bergamo.

Cultivated for centuries on plots of land or around the walls of the Upper Town, especially in Borgo Canale over Port St. Alexander, the escarole in Bergamo is distinguished from other varieties on the market for the particular process of whitening of the inner leaves.

sown in the open only from late July to late October is tied with a lace tuft to tuft, so that the inner leaves do not take the light and begins a remarkable maturation process. With the first cold move the plants in the basement where the gardeners disatendono the dark.

Many individuals who believe and support the initiative to enhance the vegetable Bergamo: the Department for Productive Activities of the municipality of Bergamo, Chamber of Commerce, Ascom, Confesercenti Coldiretti and the Community of shops Bergamo Alta. Here we have the exercises that have embraced the idea and will have their menu a dish of escarole: Osteria Via Solata, Trattoria da Ornella, Tre Torri, Da Mimmo, Da Franco, Cooperative High City, Marianna, The Gourmet , Baretto San Vigilio, Mimi the House of Flavors.

The ortomania infects Bergamo Jobs

From children to pensioners, an ageless passion

From children to retirees, an ageless passion

A passion that was lost with the generation of our grandparents and, instead, is slowly returning to infect Italy, in ways often original and Community. A return
so unexpected, forcing observers to coin costume changes, a special date - gliu "Ortisti" - to describe those people, normally used in office work rather than
housewives and pensioners, who are rediscovering the pleasure of eating vegetables grown with their own hands, that you know the origin and authenticity. A fashion - if one may call it that - he's doing emulated in Bergamo, to the point that the Botanical Garden City High has had to double its domestic horticulture courses to meet the many inscriptions.

Chemicals off limits
Speaking to participants of the course, it is difficult to identify the causes of the phenomenon, but the number of students forced to take notice. It is the same type of ortisti to be quite varied: "With the exception of lawyers and other professionals - commented Alberto Magri, an agronomist and assistant
the Botanical Garden - the participants are people who are doing the most varied part by graduates in fields related to agriculture to get to the senior who has always wanted to take care of their own garden but for one reason or another
, no one has ever succeeded.
Then there are the housewives, lovers looking for some makeup, parents who want to grow with the children one or two plants on the terrace of the house. "

Different people, moved by different motivations and different expectations. John, for example, Cha is a senior looking to make money from a piece of ground under the house: "I mess commitment some time ago, without any experience.
slowly, even by mistake, I am learning to cultivate various types of vegetables and, when spring comes, I take my fill tomatoes, croissants, peas, salad. All without herbicides or other chemicals, because cultivating for myself, I have no interest in making my intensive agriculture because of the weeds if the crop is lost, patience! What remains to be genuine and without poisons. "

Even Robert, surveyor, in his fifties, has a piece of land available, "This year, with my children, we decided to transform the garden into a small garden. Actually that was his home and I
himself as a child, his aunt and uncle helped to sow and keep it in order.
Now, while working, I'd spend the weekend back on their feet. It is a hobby much more noble than the others and also an opportunity to do some 'physical activity at no cost. "
A hobby that can also be practiced on a single terrace, "I - says Maria Cristina - full-time job as a clerk and I did not even have a garden, but they told me that with some pot on the terrace and a bit
'attentions to I could easily grow some seedlings. The tomatoes and peas, for example, grow in height, but do not require too much space. Sure, I can not give up dall'ortolano spending, but some satisfaction I could take it away, we also learn tricks for flowers at home. "

Commitment to Child
The fact, then, that horticulture may have some pedagogical value should not be missed
Bruno, used with two children in tow: "I have brought you here my son and his cousin - he says - and the idea I liked a lot for us, grow some plants on the terrace of the house would be little more than a game but a game
teaching load.
Taking care of a plant, no matter how small, it needs constant attention and a commitment to child-which may offer an opportunity to learn something authentic. " As in all the arts, moreover, ù in the garden that you never stop learning. Alberto Magri, however, ensures that, after these few lessons to the Botanical Gardens, each participant will have already acquired the basics of how to grow some fruit: "shrewdness, tricks and clinical eye will then, with the experience."

HIGH VALLEY MILLING BORELLO and ART

Q ualche months ago, had the idea to do a post on these mills in the valley of Borello. Abandoned mills that over the years, have become ruins.

P or the last few weeks the project was born PAN YESTERDAY : gastronomic event which starts from the mountain bread as a symbol of a culture of poor agricultural roots, but rich in good stories.

And, speaking of bread, we decided to insert a piece of research: the "Path of Water Grinders and "map of the river with location of these mills in antiquity in the valley of Borello.

the result I was born from the stories and memories of the people of Spinello, and photo collections showing the past.

Prawns with cream of Jerusalem artichokes and cardamom


tasty appetizers or as light? : D Well ... it all depends on the quantity chosen but is a recipe that is well suited for any eventuality.
This is a quick and simple dish because the prawns are lightly cooked. The
tipinambur, cleansed thoroughly, cook them in milk, a bit 'and onion oil.
Then you go all season with salt and pepper. To decorate I
fried Jerusalem artichoke chips and a tomato ginger ... (which is not to be underestimated because in the end flow cleans the whole mouth). Serve as desired ...
It could not be simpler ... of course finishing the dish with the crushed cardamom (had not lost) and one of sploveata black salt to bring out the bright colors of the ingredients.
Enjoy!!
ps: I hope to return soon with some more interesting post .... ... but always miss the time ... (

SUMMARY OF WORK

write in the journal of crop: dates of the transactions, distributed seeds and fertilizers, days after emergence from planting, crop rotation jobs: bringing out the deep processing.
Arranging identification plates of species and cultivars grown, to be placed in the top of each bed or row
Eliminate weeds that developed during the winter
Buy seed of the species to grow increasingly choosing a variety. Prepare cold
tunnels in order to anticipate the sowing of pumpkin and squash, melon, watermelon, cucumber, eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, basil, celery
Complete all processes, from the heavier ones finishing (digging, manure, addition of soil) to allow the sowing in the open or under the shelter of cold tunnel
Delimit the beds and do the work of aging.
Prepare land for planting. In
heated tunnels: to anticipate the sowing of pumpkin and squash, melon, watermelon, cucumber, eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, basil, celery
ventilate the tunnel every day and the greenhouses during the hottest hours to avoid condensation, easier hand hand that the daytime temperatures increase and also increases the thermal day / night
Sow outdoors, all the vegetables Leafy, green peas, potatoes and carrots, beets and spinach, parsley, arugula, radishes. Use non-woven fabric to protect and promote germination, sowing
Transplant outdoors, lettuce and radicchio, garlic, shallots and onions
Transplant later this month in the shelter of the tunnel with bread ground planting of tomatoes, eggplants and peppers purchased Collect
radishes, potatoes and carrots, turnips and beets, the cabbage before it rises to seed and become bitter, rocket, lettuce


detail of the work in the Po Valley where the climate is mild and you can start work even in the open field, in the gardens of the mountains and hills, however, is still time for rest, but attempts to anticipate the crops in tunnels in cold or warm greenhouse always lead to good results.


PROGRAMMING
rotation
general rule is that no cultivation should take herself and repeated on the same parcel of land. This is because each vegetable absorbs nutrients from the soil in some way which completely and selectively allowing the accumulation of others. In addition, each vegetable is attacked by viruses and parasites specific that can arise in the ground if you repeat the conditions that made possible the first attack.
Then there is the division of vegetables into families with similar characteristics, both for nutritional requirements, and for health problems. So a vegetable in the rotation will not have to follow himself, but not one of the same family.
rotation on a four-year

The classic scheme: year one
*: * legumes
two years: demanding that vegetables take advantage of nitrogen fixed by legumes and a rich fertilizer (tomato, zucchini, cucumber, eggplant , cabbage, leek, celery) *
three years: on average, demanding vegetables (onion, garlic, leafy vegetables, radish) *

four years: demanding little vegetable (parsley and other herbs, carrots, spinach) .

Family
Species

Leguminosae
Beans, beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils
Improve soil fertility through nitrogen-fixing properties of their root tubercles. At the end of the cycle the roots should not be eradicated from the soil.


Solanaceae Tomato, eggplant, bell pepper, red pepper, potato
require large amounts of nutrients.

Cucurbits
Zucchini, squash, cucumber, melon, watermelon
require large amounts of nutrients. They take advantage of abundant manure.


Cruciferae sprouts, cabbage, radishes, rocket
long-term crops (cabbage and cabbage) or intercalary (radish and arugula).


Liliaceae Onion, garlic, shallot, leek
not like a manure close.


Umbelliferae Carrots, celery, fennel, parsley
should not be grown following the Chenopodioideae.

Chenopodioideae
Spinach, chard
Not before the Solanaceae and Umbelliferae.

Composite
leafy vegetables to eat raw
It 's a common mistake to repeat the same plot.


Strawberries should not be grown on the same land before the expiration of three years.

A simple idea to make the garden more beautiful

To create two sides of the garden spots of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus). Quest'ortaggio of slow growth during spring, summer can create a zone of partial shading on crops to take advantage of the fresh love. Autumn cheer in the garden with a cascade of yellow flowers. To contain the development in October we will collect the tubers to be used for food.
For rapid development, dig two holes 40 centimeters deep and replace the soil, where clay, with fertile soil, fresh and free of stones and rich in organic matter. Place the tubers to a depth of 10 cm.

Soil Preparation Seed Bed


To minimize the failed areas should pay particular attention to the seed beds. The
digging carried out in late fall or winter months, has turned the topsoil (about 30 cm) normally explored by the roots of vegetables and allowed the burial of fertilizers and soil to improve fertility and structure. The action of frost will crumble the clods, but especially for heavy soils (rich in clay) soils and worked for a short time, this is not enough.
After clearing the weeds grown in the cold season, trying to eradicate all the roots, breaking the clods with a hoe into smaller units operating when the soil is damp but not soaked with water.
defines the limits of the ditches and laid flower beds, one works with the rake, which is necessary to refine the soil, remove stones and plant debris, aerating the surface layer. The use of the rake does not replace the hoe and should not act in depth, but only in the first few inches of soil.
At the end, we outline the profile of the flower in that section will be slightly convex curvature with a smooth and uniform to encourage the drainage and prevent ponding.
Not to spoil the work is necessary to protect the ground and swing from the constipating rainfall, using a sheet of plastic and arelle cane or wooden boxes upside down.

Common Mistakes

At this stage it is quite easy to make mistakes, just visible at the moment, are likely to affect the production of the year: run too deep soil tillage surface (15-20 cm), or run digging only a few days before sowing, without exposing the ground that the action of the frost breaks up the particles, and helps ventilate the humification of organic matter failure to eliminate stones that impede root development and are particularly damaging way for plants that produce edible underground organs (such as potatoes or radishes) Failure to remove the lens of tolerance (gray clay soil that is impenetrable to the roots of the plants failure to generous fertilizing with organic matter to improve soil is too heavy or too loose (the results are satisfactory obtained only after the fourth year) failure to use the hoe in medium-textured soils tend to be clay or too hasty use of the rake, which is useful for moving the entire mass of the first centimeters of soil already prepared the ground left uncovered for too long, especially if dry
;

Choice Sow seeds

The seeds can be chosen from a catalog, the garden, or a large retailer, but the purchases should not be improvised on the contrary they have to refer to a previously established garden project, which was also provided for the demarcation of space.
should check that the seed bags are sound, not showing spots of mold or moisture, a suspicion that nothing bad preservation, and that the year of production is the one just passed. Finally, if you search for a particular variety not only should there be a similar, but look elsewhere.

Semine March

In warm seedlings can be planted any type of vegetable. In the cold tunnel or under a sheet of tissue tissue can not sow arugula, lettuce, leaf lettuce and radishes, beets (in the range from the coast and leaf), spinach. In more temperate climates, you can also groped the sowing of peas, parsley, carrots, chicory and kale summer lettuces, turnips, red garden beet, parsley, green beans, scorzanera.
splitting sowing to 10 days apart from each other helps to get a crop and scale to prevent the total loss of harvest caused by an eventual return of frost. At the end of the month are initiated
sowing in style: leafy vegetables, peas, carrots, potatoes, pumpkins and radishes, parsley, arugula, spinach, all in full field. Valerianella: fast, safe, out of any rotation. Lamb's lettuce (Valerianella milling) belongs to the family of Valerianacee. E 'vegetable undemanding in terms of temperature and rapid growth. It is sown a broadcaster on a soft, well aged, to be kept moist but not soaked. With the help of non-woven fabric tunnel or cold if they can anticipate the sowing. The sowing must be carried out on small portions of land and should be repeated two weeks later to pick up after about 40 days, a product is always fresh. Teme only stagnant water and the dry climate of summer. The thinning is done with the natural scalar product collection. Not is a vegetable to be considered in rotations follow or precede all others.

Ravanelli, not only round, not just red radish

The wins for her grow more vigorously when the garden is empty and it is hard to see the fruits of his labor. E 'season because with a vegetable without the necessary precautions can be grown anywhere from sea to the mountains, even in pots all year. In the shelter of the tunnel or greenhouse in winter, cooler and shaded areas in the warmer months. Only intense and prolonged cold, the sun to peak in August, or rocky terrain stop the little radish.
little demanding, requires no fertilizer and it arises in specific crops in succession manure as zucchini and tomato, radish produces 1 kilogram per square meter, and if well followed, with a collection climb even more. That each production cycle, and cycles in a year if they can do even four, using varieties with different characteristics. Sowing
broadcaster or files on well-honed plot, cover with about half inch of soil is soft and wet on a regular basis so as to keep the soil cool and moist. The collection also serves as a scale thinning.
When we speak of the radish is expected globular shape and the bright red color, but that of the radish is a group very varied in form and color. The radishes
spring are typical: red, pink and white, globular, oval or cylindrical, large or small, always fast growing tree.
The winter radishes have a longer growing period (60-70 days), have a pronounced flavor, and can be divided into four groups of cultivars: German Beer ", not very common in Italy, similar to turnips
Daikon" many considered unbeatable, similar to carrots, white radish root in China, always a white root, very long
English radishes, a black skin and white flesh
The winter radishes are also suitable for cultivation spring gardens in the hills and mountains.
The leaves of radishes, fresh and tender, can be used as a condiment in salads strong flavor.

Force
The month of March is for many a month of waiting. The areas most myths have already vacated the grip of winter, but others are still at significant risk of late frosts. To anticipate the sowing to be safe from drops in temperature using the cold tunnel.

Tunnel cold
The creation of a tunnel is simple cold. The structure would be large in order to have a sufficient volume of air: minimum 80 cm wide, 60 cm to 60 cm in height and at least 250 cm in length) having the proper slope for draining water and walls such that they can be opened in the hours and days better. The frame is made with iron rods bent "U" and driven into the ground. On it you place the plastic cover that must be robust and transparent. Before cutting the plastic sheets should be carefully inspected the measures and try to keep as far as possible, the integrity of the roof. The openings should be placed on the two ends of the tunnel, or if the structure is long, with side openings on which they could act quickly.

planting distance

the tunnel are sown crops which will then be replanted, or left in place discovering the tunnel. If you opt for the grafting, the number of plants per square meter will be higher, while if the plants remain in place, the distance between the plants will be greater and thus will be less than the number of plants from seed. The tunnel will also serve to bring cold air and begin the second phase of growing plants in hothouse born.

seeding in the tunnel

Sow in cold tunnel and then transplant outdoors: pumpkins and squash, melon and watermelon, cucumber, in planting a file with the sixth 15 x 15 cm (That is to file a distance of 15 cm and the same distance of 15 cm between a seed and the Grim), beans and green beans in rows 10 cm x 10 sixth, while broadcaster sow tomatoes and peppers, eggplant, basil, celery.

Ventilation

On sunny days of March the cold tunnel amplifies the sun's radiation and its internal temperature can rise too, creating problems for the growth of vegetables. In these long days and warm on the openings there is a need to ensure optimal internal conditions. Opening prevents the high humidity, combined with higher temperature, the assistant to a real plant and its boiling. It should then aerate at least once a day during the hottest hours of the day and close before the sun drops. This ensures a sufficient air exchange, and removes excess moisture that at sunset, when the sun no longer heats the plastic cover, condense on the walls. The drip would cause rot to the young plants.

dripping water

baulatura We take care of the land so that the inner profile is slightly convex and allow excess water to drain to the sides. We will always dosed sparingly because wetting the soil should be fresh and moist but not soaked. Higher temperatures and the fastest growing of vegetables often lead to the mistake of too wet.
reset to be two sides of the tunnel where the protective cover to drain rainwater. If the ground is sloping in order to ensure good drainage upstream of the pit depth must be greater, as much as the altitude of the area affected by the tunnel.
Periodically check the tightness of the anchors in the ground, the integrity of the plastic cover and the resilience of the closures.

Transplant

At the end of March can be planted potatoes, onions, garlic and scallions. The land must have been working well for some time and no skeleton. The depth at which you will put tubers, bulbs and cloves influence not just the end result, if too deep, there will be a delay in vegetative and stunted growth, if too shallow the plants that will grow will be more vulnerable to drought and may attract (ie lie on the ground), especially the risk of discovering new potatoes green. The tubers exposed to light produce a toxic alkaloid solanine and therefore must be discarded.

10-15 cm depth of planting potato, garlic and shallot onion 3 cm 2 cm

Transplantation of the month in March

are transplanted outdoors onions, garlic, lettuce and endive. While
are transplanted in protected cultivation and planting tomatoes and related land purchased with bread.

Periodic work

Remove plant debris at the end of the cycle that must always be removed, burned, buried or placed in compost in a special pit.

weed weed

While we provide the deep soil tillage and subsequent refinements to adequately prepare the seed beds, weeds awaken. Selezionatesi in thousands of years to go before the other plants in the race for light, nutrients and space, they tend to cover the ground with incredible speed. Annual or perennial, arising from seed or from roots overwintering weeds sonogià ready to raise their heads and invade the garden. We begin to act now, when they are small, with poorly developed root system and easy to eradicate. The plant mass to be removed will be much lower.
plants with tap-root, are difficult to remove by simply pulling, or break, leaving a part in the ground, must be combated in a particular way. Should use the shovel to extract all the roots, so you eliminate the problem permanently. With a view to consumption of the product, which must therefore meet high quality features, a battle manual method, though laborious, is better use of a herbicide.

Fertilization
During this time you must make a good fertilizer that can be achieved with an organic fertilizer that can make even the organic matter in the soil and the use of chemical fertilizers that replenish the nutrients removed in previous crop cycles.

organic fertilizers

If we did not fall with the digging underground manure, we can use for cover now, doing one hoeing soil, having strewn the surface with a compost manure or compost made with very ripe. Organic fertilizers are necessary to support an abundant production and quality, in fact, keep the plants well fed, healthy, improve soil structure, provide a level of high fertility and prevent a buildup of nitrates due to the slow release of nutrients.
In this phase, the slow release fertilizer, resistant to leaching by rainfall and irrigation, can be used with particular success for crops with deep root system, such as cabbage, carrots, artichokes and aspargi.
The contribution of fertilizer should be proportional to the excise, and then operated also use more or less intensive land.
If you require more rounds of sowing of crops in succession in the same bed should provide an optimal supply of mature 5 kilograms of manure per square meter. For
beds used only once during the year, except for very demanding as vegetables zucchini, tomatoes and such, just 3 kilograms per square meter. Who does not have manure can be used to replace peat, compost or soil fertilized at a rate of 5 liters per unit of surface

Collection

In March you can pick up roots and left to winter in the ground like potatoes, carrots , turnips, and still radishes and beets. Do not miss the cold weather cabbage, chicory and where it was possible to sow in time using a tunnel or cold towels, the ubiquitous parsley and sedation
