At home I think it's too late in mid-August to produce because we feel that the weather is declining and suddenly the vegetables are "on the spot".


it all depends on the particular situation, I try like this because two years in a row I made the same observation: following hot weather more prolonged dryness (more marked in 2019 than in 2018) I had plants that during the summer have little, if any, given, and which in mid-August, when the conditions were better, were exhausted. From the same vegetable I had seedlings in spontaneous emergence or planted very late, which started to produce in early August, and which gave a satisfactory harvest, in 2018 until October 2019 (date of the first frost) and in XNUMX until early November. My bet is therefore precisely that from the second ten August, even if it can still be very hot, in my sector the weather begins to change: the nights are cooler, the air becomes more breathable, and many other things. If I have plants that are reaching maturity at this time, and that are in good shape, I actually extend my season. But with you it's certainly not the same at all, and you have to space less.

in the north and I am at the Belgian border, we have a more "regular" weather, it rises less in high temperature and it also goes down less low, with peaks in one direction as in the other
so August can start to be wetter than elsewhere and sometimes no frost before November, so this is what I will put in place this year, a winter cover doubled with a greenhouse tarp, and thus finished fear of frost below -2 or even -3 ° C which will really lengthen the season
at home Doris it's drought plus very draining soil that will make you fall flat in summer

It is not obvious because it is temperature and humidity that always have the last word. So I think I will limit myself to max 3 weeks lag. Imagine that I want to shift more but that time does not lend itself to it anymore ... but that will be for later.

Yesterday I planted 117 onion bulbs :D
But also, too curious, I took off a stony garlic planted 13 days rather in the hay. And to my surprise, beautiful little roots : Oops:

That's it, if I want to do well, I must try to get around the summer a little with excess drought. In Belgium, or towards the border, you have to calculate more over a so-called moderate time, the temperatures can be the same, but with less variation and spikes, and less stress for the plants too

here, we just have a little problem with the chilly tomatoes it still works, but especially eggplant and peppers

That's it, I launched the first wave of sowing.
I hope I did it well ...

2 varieties of salad and chervil

Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and onions

Carrot seedlings


Then, by going to throw the household waste on the hay in the vegetable garden, I wanted to see the stage of progress of my bulbs of onions D + 7 and cloves D + 20.

Onion D + 7

Garlic D + 20

When I think of all the rain that fell I was afraid of seeing them rot.
To follow then.

Has the Covid-19 reached the elderly friend?
Hopefully not!
But beware of not planting / sowing too early, because under cover (as with hay at home) there is a difference of 5 ° C compared to bare soil.
I am aware that it will take 15-20 more days for the earth to warm up, but in the fall, it will take 15-20 more days for it to cool down.

It was a while ago that asked me questions.

But ultimately what good.

In the natural humus of the meadow it is the same and the meadow is doing well right?

So now I don't care.

Here is some news from my first sowing.
20200326_142655.jpg
Carrot seedlings

20200327_094650.jpg
Salad seedlings

20200327_094723.jpg
Seedlings of Broccoli, cauliflower, Bxl cabbage and onions (not yet released)

I was impressed with the speed at which the carrots rose.

excellent : Wink:
just a note in your carrot terrine you could have evened the surface better, because it allows you to put a regular layer of potting soil above the seeds
attention I advise you to transplant your carrots very early in deeper pots, because as soon as the root grows very quickly in depth, so if the goal is to limit losses due to slugs, you must transplant plants already well developed, I keep 500g jars of honey, but I should have courage

in addition I broke my mouth and I drink, but what a jerk I do
