  1. Purple sunflower?

    Wow, I have never seen something like that, that's awesome. From this chat I can also understand that sunflowers can be different in color, I would never have said that! Anyway, I wish your plant will grow strong and you'll find this funny, the funnier it is, the better you can grow plants...
  2. Floods!!

    We are doing the same with her after all. However, no panic. It has ended.
  3. So hot, flowers are screaming

    Sure! The first of September is the beginning of the meteorological fall...no heat anymore. Anyway, here, in the southern Italy we are having really cold days
  4. Floods!!

    I'm glad to hear you're ok now, these catastrophes could happen to everyone.
  5. Intercropping

    I have never done something like that. Anyway, I think this is a good option, I'm doing something similar after all. My beds contain only one type of plant, but at the edge of bed I have sunflowers. They attract the bugs being damaged, but at least there are less bugs on the other plants...
  6. Floods!!

    Oh my god, that's perilous! However, the most important thing is that now you and your neighbor are ok! I have never had the possibility to see a flood in my land, and I sincerely don't think this can happen (we live on the mountains very close to a slope, the water goes away),but I know for...
  7. Keeping business out of politics

    I'm not such an expert in politics, but I know for sure that you aren't forced to take a position (unless you are a multi billionare company or something like that, but this isn't the case). Anyway, a good "tip", if I can call it in this way, is to try to stay away from any political part, cause...
  8. Your season so far?

    let's hope something better*
  9. Your season so far?

    Let's hope better...
  10. Natural pesticide

    Maybe you can try mine: -Take a bottle with normal water inside (this bottle must be that type with the spray) -Add to the water a teaspoon of soup (that for washing plates),a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of baking soda -Shake before using. This is a recipe I found on youtube. I saw the...
  11. Cucumbers

    Well, to tell the truth our cucumbers aren't a lot, compared to the other crops. Since they aren't a lot and we preserve a lot of other crops (aubergine, tomato, fig, and even mushrooms found on the mountains) we consume them all using them for salad.
  12. Your season so far?

    There is an extreme heat throughout the entire world I guess. Besides that, we had cold days and very hot days, my tomatoes aren't fine...
  13. Your season so far?

    No, no, just wait, this is the best joke I have heard today. I can't stop laughing. Anyway, I think it's just normal that during summer your crops are growing slower...
  14. Time for cookouts

    I'm not such an expert in terms of meat to grill, but I think that cooking calf beef with a grill wouldn't be a bad idea. Anyway, I would like to define myself more like an old style cooker, I like doing it during winter, we have an open fireplace so we can warm there everything. Either way, I...
  15. So hot, flowers are screaming

    I'm living this too. I really hate heat both for the health of my plants that are in a bad condition and for my health (when the temperature begins to get hotter and hotter I usually bleed from my nose, terrible). Anyway, an advice I can give you is that you don't have to water them a lot, but...
