The eggplants


Well we evacuate this specimen riquiqui ...
In fact I absolutely transplanted everything including the hopeless.
I had taken a photo when transplanting but I can't find it anymore
We saw absolutely nothing at all while there we already have 2 leaves: it is Peru

Amaranth from all over the world
In the ornamental garden it makes carpets.
Here we are entitled to a few mini seedlings
I'll see if I let one grow
But afterwards with thousands of seeds per plant we don't get by.

The 3 commercial eggplant plants planted in the cut vetch.
My wife doesn't trust mine
If my calculations are correct in a future high trunk location as to be done.
If all goes well, this may help to make them last this fall.

Go to other more compliant personal plants but nevertheless very out of step with those of the trade ...
These will remain in their cut bottles.
But the majority is in donut

Continuation of our overview of ecological anti-slug systems with anti-slug molds which are, from our point of view the systems by far the most efficient.


The first part with the presentation of the molds

Here is the epilogue of the culture and especially the conservation of potatoes 2019.

After 10 months spent in the hay in all weathers, and especially in winter, the results are almost perfect.

Some slugs nibbled on potatoes at the start of the plot.
A badger stirred the hay a bit this winter: some potatoes were no longer sufficiently protected and froze.

And that's all.

Here is the harvest of the last ones which were actually the first to be laid on the ground and covered with hay on March 16, 2019.
They froze on June 12 and their growth was therefore halted net.

Beautiful germs already rooted, which you can replant immediately! Provided they leave them in the light (without tubers, they have no reserves, and would burst fairly quickly, like seedlings: unlike those attached to tubers, and which are supplied by it and can cross 50 cm of hay before finding the light).

Yes I left a few in this corner ... who EARLY made out ... hence the concern for this type of culture to let nature take over.



We are only June 4 and last year it had frozen on 12 ... we did not leave the hostel for this small "natural" batch.

As already said often, the goal, like everywhere else, is (to a certain extent) self-feeding but with frosty vegetables in a hurry to show the tips of their leaves is problematic.


That said the objective of the test was not that but to test the conservation of potatoes under the hay for a whole year.
For this year everything went well ...
You will have to stack the years to get a more precise idea of ​​the viability (or not) of the thing.

I proposed to you to detach the magnificent germs already rooted that I saw on your harvest and to transplant them (like cabbage, or salads). You eat pdt.

Ah yes but it's been done for a long time

It's in the greenhouse but I think it's starting to come out.

[Did67]

You "cover" them ????

Be careful, germs having no reserve cannot "break through" (unlike germs attached to a tuber; they have supplies on site and do not need photosynthesis).

Germs cuttings or naturally rooted like there, you manage them like lettuces or whatever, that you transplant. Not like tubers (or bulbs) that you bury under the hay!

I gave them to my wife and I admit that I don't know what she did.
If it comes out it's because she did the right thing I think

I'll take a closer look and take pictures

Here is the epilogue of the culture and especially the conservation of potatoes 2019.

After 10 months spent in the hay in all weathers, and especially in winter, the results are almost perfect.

This way of conservation must be very valid, under conditions, as you say elsewhere. I do not think I can do it the same way here, because I have less months of real winters (for the Landes -5 ° C at night or so, a few years ago, we had them regularly). You have to deal with slugs constantly between November and April. I also fear too much pressure from voles in winter, with less to eat in the forest. Otherwise great experience, which proves the resistance of the potatoes, finally the tuber.
