I come back to the Moroccan watercress, which we talked about a few days ago here or on another thread, I don't remember. I had "discovered by chance" this year, because all my sowing trials were destroyed by the slugs, on the other hand weeks later I found spontaneous surveys everywhere, I must have lost some seeds . For me it's a great salad for the lazy: taste I like it, but that cannot be discussed, it is very productive, it grows everywhere (shade, partial shade, sun), tolerant of drought . Once it has lifted, it's zero work / maintenance, it's a bit of the lamb's lettuce in winter (just in relation to the effort to be produced, of course)

This time I saw everything ...

Ah the running cucurbits we do not really know where to place them.

Last year we had pumpkins in 2 places including the manure of the time and it went well.

This year as I said I did a last minute sowing on the second pile of manure with the eggplants and everything is going well for the moment but the plants are young and not sure they will not be attacked .

After that can run all his drunk since it's in the middle of nowhere.

I noticed that there was a lot of earth raised in the vetch.
Something I had never noticed in the past 3 years.
It doesn't seem like mole rats, but .... I wouldn't swear.
I would much prefer moles.

I'll have to take pictures

Who would know why the zucchini has giant leaves about 1m40 high while the pros have fruit on zucchini which remain with reasonable leaves.
I have a lot of fruit now but not easy to pick.

Personally, I saw too big with the squashes this year, I feel that I will be invaded quickly (this will make a cover for the others ...)
Otherwise, Didier in a previous video, you mentioned that some cucurbitaceous leaves were yellow. I noticed the same thing, but on yellow zucchini, I thought it was normal suddenly. but in recent days some squash, pumpkin and butternutt leaves have also turned yellow. Too much nitrogen? Note that these squashes are located on a fairly effective hillock (yes yes I know, it's a vestige of my "non-laziness" : Lol: ) but not the zucchini (hybridization between curcubitaceae?)

With me, the phenomenon occurs when I plant them in the hay. In contact with (or in close proximity to) the hay, the leaves of the plants turn more or less yellow in the following days. The following, which are formed on the spot, are "normal" ...

I never understood the mechanism. I suspect a form of hay toxicity: emission of gas by decomposition? local drought?

I exclude a question of nitrogen. It doesn't look like yellowing due to the lack of nitrogen at all.

I let go.

We discussed it here a long time ago. Some put the plants in "tubes" so that the leaves do not touch the hay and the problem would then be solved ... This does not argue for an explanation linked to the soil or to nutrition.

Isn't it a light reverberation problem?

The more the ambient dryness provoked, the new foliage must adapt. I have always seen that, the solution is to acclimatize them near a white wall in the spring or on a clear terrace so that they make resistant leaves. Or sow it in place.

It is a hypothesis. If I think about it again next year (I am supposed to have a notebook with "ideas to test" !!!), I will do a test "all things being equal" with plants "high" for half in a frame on reflective aluminum foil ...
