My beginnings in Saône et Loire

[phil53]

Hence the bucket technique to avoid the mound!

And then Madame then asked me THE condition: I want it to be pretty and flowery.
So much the better, there are flowers sown everywhere (blue flax, cosmos, nasturtiums, etc.)

Hello, here are some flowers for biological control that will help your vegetable garden:

Thank you!
Apart from the rue des jardins and mugwort I have all the others!
Can't wait to see all this bloom and grow!
While waiting for a sun lounger with a good book!

Despite the fairly large amounts of water for some time now everything seems to be going well, at its own pace.
The potatoes come out, the peas grow, the beans grow, the broccoli grow.
Even the chickpeas seem to want to show the tip of their noses.
I collect and feed the hens with a large amount of slugs but nothing prohibitive at this stage.

Well, finally the beautiful sun but otherwise everything grows at its own pace.
Tomorrow, a crazy day… I put in the ground the tomato plants, cucumbers, peppers, melons, watermelon, basil, chives…
Then deckchair to rest from it all.
The less I do, the better I wear because it's “going” on its own right now.… Including batavias, arugula, beets, radishes, carrots, parsnip and parsley.
The beans are also doing well despite sowing a little too early (mid April)
And everywhere in the faith, seeds of zinyas, cosmos, nasturtiums, sunflower in the bottom of boards, blue linen.

And the warm layer with its skulls, potatoes, squash, melon and radish (sown two days ago)

Some health concerns sometimes keep me away ...
But everything is growing well! In a tangle organized between beets, lettuce, potatoes, radishes, beans etc.
My sacrificial squares fulfill their role and are happily devoured by slugs, snails etc.
Small morning basket because I'm outside from 5am to 30am, then in the evening after 9pm because the temperatures don't suit me ...
Lettuce, radish, arugula, beetroot, sage.

Tomorrow it will be Swiss chard, arugula, celery and thyme for the ravioli with fresh goat cheese.
