Small vegetable garden 69 on the way to laziness

[Moindreffor]

in the North we will not find any yet,

Exit the Bintge, Didier killed me!
In the chips shacks in the North, which queen potato is it? For the mussels we know

review your classics "welcome to the Ch'ti" and "les Tuches" the bintje ...

Exit the Bintge, Didier killed me!

It's Arvalis !!!

The chip stalls use what the producers produce! Afterwards, in films, we make cinema, it seems to me.

And the surfaces by variety, in 2019, that's it: http://www.plantdepommedeterre.org/inde ... -francaise

The Bintje still "weighs" a little over 2% ... But the legend lasts! And will last ... It's like the 2 CV.

That said, 2% of the market must be enough for chip shops!

A priori, for the fries, the choice would be:

"In terms of varieties, the star of the plates is undoubtedly the Bintje variety", we note at Léon de Bruxelles, whose brands are masters in the art of serving mussels and fries.
But other varieties may also be suitable: Agria, Artemis, Caesar, Monalisa, Manon, Marabel, Victoria. "

with us it is mainly a question of sorting, the ones too big for Mc Do are for the chip stalls, the too small for the local customers

the ones too big for Mc Do are for the chips stalls, the ones too small for the local customers

And Mc Do, they have been using "modern" varieties for a long time, selected to brown without too much "browning", not forming I do not know which carcinogenic substances, etc ...

In particular, they use those of Mc Cain:

This is what another Belgian fries supplier says on the internet:

Bintje is definitely a fading old glory ...

I took advantage of a Sunday with a little sun to do a weeding and preparation of boards for future sowing in place. It is a slightly shaded plot of 12m2 that I started to plant last year for leafy and root vegetables.

Some observations:
- lots of sprout seeds IN the hay / straw layer. Much more than the year before (by comparing photos), suddenly I put a layer of leaves and I re-straw with fresh OM it feels like a spontaneous green manure
- the aisles were not suitable, I removed the central aisle, the passage will be on a plank on the mulch.
- the soil is very moist (normal at the moment). I found it quite loose because I was able to remove a 40cm root of rumex just by digging with the dibble.
- I find that I still have a lot of roots from ornamental trees around the vegetable garden ... the vegetables grow through but I still fear that they will pump all the water in summer ... that also explains why why my vegetables stay quite small, with or without sun.

I spent a little in the alleys and otherwise the only work of the soil is weeding, the quackgrass roots come off well and it aerates throughout, a blow of hook to equalize and presto! ... well, I must admit that I still have aches

I took off the cold protective tarpaulins that I put on 5 days ago and although a little flattened the vegetable garden is fine.
I even had the surprise to see that the beans had bloomed

the quackgrass roots come off well and it aerates all along, a blow of the hook to even out and presto! ... well, I must admit that I still have aches

It's an investment !!! This will be reduced, if each time it comes up again, you pull on it, just by hand, as deeply as possible ... It may well have reserves, if we force it to take from it to remake the stems and leaves each time and is prevented from reconstituting them, it will end up on the straw - finally hay!

Turnips that have spent the winter are already going to seed: shock even the very young. A lettuce does that too ... 3 days of sunshine and presto!
