Re: My kitchen garden of the least effort
Yes I understand thank you for this info. In fact I was asking myself the question because last year I sowed around October and it's not a great start, you may remember this plot with rye mixed with vetch which peaked at 75cm .. .

Re: My kitchen garden of the least effort
It is a winter cereal. Which means that we sow in the fall; the plant settles down and spends the winter at the "grass" stage. In spring, it develops, rises and then forms the ears ... In cereals, that's how it goes. With a very important stage but that one cannot see from the roadside: tillering. It is the formation, on the same foot, of tillers = ramifications of the stem, horizontal, at ground level, which will give as many ears. It is a phenomenon of self-adaptation. If the density is already high, or if the soil is poor, there are few tillers. If it is low, or if the soil is rich in nitrogen, there will be a lot of tillers.
There, on an early sowing (August), I don't know! Will it go up in the fall? Ascend ???
We have to try.

Re: My kitchen garden of the least effort
I found a site to order rye forage, not in the listings of my usual garden center, I will see to order
otherwise today transplanting 17 scaroles and 18 curly, directly in the hay we will see the rest,
my white onions in the terrine are rising and I have sown cabbage heart of beef, a test I will transplant them before winter and I will see what will remain in spring, I will make a new sowing in January for a transplanting in February, I will test other cabbage also like cauliflower and bruxelle

Re: My kitchen garden of the least effort
good the recovery of escarole and curly is not the best of the best
need to water, it's still hot, I'm thinking about a shading system for next year
I have a question, if we dry a sunflower stem can it make a good tutor the following year?
I plan to sow some to shade or so beans to row always to shade the salads which with less sun would perhaps be less tendency to go to seed if in addition I bring them water, and also choose a better suited variety

Crates turned over on the seedlings are a simple solution (those with the bottom in strips allowing light to pass through - because some have a continuous "medium" type).

on a seedling yes, that's fine, but on transplanted plants it's a lot of crates hence the search for a broader and more lazy way, last year I installed polystyrene plates, there too much heatwave to put them back, maybe also too lazy

On larger surfaces there are shade nets ...

we can see the difference with a forcing veil that some have used instead and as a result with the destruction of their culture, there, the mesh is really big
it could also be used against butterflies

Re: My kitchen garden of the least effort
return of humidity and although it goes down at night it is still hot during the day, it nitrifies by turns, I start to have a production of cucumbers and they are beautiful
always without wanting to play the one with the biggest , but I apparently planted the same variety as my stepfather (bare soil cultivation, very classic), a very classic variety, but my cucumbers are much longer, and moreover this year they are also more at home than last year, it really looks like a cucumber and not like a big pickle
I conclude that they grew much faster and well in this good period, that's also see that it changes, get vegetables that look like what you should have

Re: My kitchen garden of the least effort
In my "basin" surrounded by forest, humidity sounds the end of cucurbits !!! Without any treatment. I have been away too often, otherwise I would have tried some "treatments": sulfur, potassium bicarbonate, volcanic rock powder ... All other things being equal.
