We enjoyed the beautiful weather this Saturday to make good progress on the plantations in the Agrolab. There are now three parcels of 12x4m fully planted. The pole beans of Soissons, who had already reached a considerable height and felt quite cramped in their small pots, were transplanted in the ground. Helped by the people, we have fabricated bamboo structures to stake the beans. We took advantage of the space inside the “V” formed by the structure to plant potatoes and test a form of crop intensification. Plots 2 and 3 are mostly planted in potatoes (Ratte and vitelotte): so we can expect a good harvest in the fall. Also on the menu this Saturday plantations: marmande tomatoes, sweet peppers of the Landes, the giant Italian parsley, white chard and celeriac.
As for the shared garden, it really takes shape thanks to the people who come every Saturday gardening their plots. William was the first harvest of the garden plot on his Michelet: fine (and good) radishes!
A waiting list was opened for the allocation of plots, for all those that have been run are now occupied.
