Waxing After New Paint

Il nostro giardino

Davanti al nostro alloggio prende vita il piccolo orto, davanti al quale vive e mette fuori i primi boccioli la nostra rosellina.

Oggi abbiamo gustato anche le prime foglie della nostra rucola (nella foto in mezzo al prezzemolo) come condimento alle penne, insieme a ricotta, formaggio di capra (calabrese, regalo di Anna), pomodoro fresco e peperoncino.

Stanno crescendo anche le prime zucchine, dopo che le prime sono appassite perché non impollinate a dovere...

It still stands in the meadow like a rather wild artichoke, which we believe very edible, but who can really make her beautiful figure ...

In the garden, "official" today we planted the poles to protect and hold the tomatoes, ripped some weed and re-planted watermelons and melons, protecting them with wire mesh fences from possible incursions of porcupines ( who have already "slurp" the first planting).
In the chicken coop yesterday we introduced ten ducklings, or future "dwarf" as they call them here, obviously separated and protected from chickens, at least until will not be large enough to defend themselves ...
Last night, we also checked the nest of pheasant found a month ago. Many eggs were broken shells, while only three were left abandoned and have not hatched yet ... Probably one of the 15 we found that most have given new life to small birds ...
In our garden staff have also prepared a map of red habanero chili peppers as one of the most fiery in the world ... We await the curious and daring the first fruit (the flowers are already there!).
