Rasaduri

            Nu prea aveam chef de scris, dar e musai. In gradinarit imi pare ca fara disciplina nu se poate.
Pare doar invartitul pamantului, dar nu prea e.
Si deci incep prin a-mi scrie exact ce am plantat, cand si in ce cantitati, altfel risc sa uit peste trei zile si nu voi mai putea face distinctia dntre rosii si castraveti. Despre distinctia intre rosiile "la roma" si "gold nugget" inca nu discut. Deocamdata e filosofie pura :)).

            Si deci. Deja am uitat ce am pus acum 2 saptamani, in 3 februarie. Noroc cu pozele.



     Am pus asa:

6 Gold Nugget
6 La Roma
6 Sun Gold
6 Black Krim
6 Indigo Rose
6 Old German
2 X 6 plante dintr-un tip de rosii a caror denumire am uitat-o. Am pastrat seminte anul trecut, dar am uitat sa scriu pe cutie ce fel de rosii sunt, ups.
De accea spun ca, e importanta organizarea si ocolirea procrastinarii.
In plus, am mai pus 12 unitati de telina, hortensii si begonia (iarasi, nu stiu exact ce fel de hortensii si ce fel de begonia).

       Ieri, am pus cele 5 plante de Gold Nugget in ghivece, unele mai mari pentru ca intentionez sa le las acolo, sa cresc rosii in ghivece pe terasa din fata casei, terasa care e insorita.
Am citit ca sunt plante care odata ajunse la maturare nu mai produc alte rosii, si se recomanda cresterea acestui soi "in valuri". Astfel, azi am mai pus 5 astfel de rosii, la o distanta de cca 2 saptamani.

        Despre ziua de azi. Am pus:

1. niste cartofi dulci, "americani" intr-un ghiveci mare. E un experiment, sper sa am ca si recolta doar 4-6 cartofi si ma declar multumita, dat fiind ca acesti cartofi, cumparati din comert pentru uz alimentar, am inteles ca nu prea se fac 'stropiti' fiind.

2. Doi samburi de piersici. Don't ask. Inca nu stiu care-i treaba cu copacii fructiferi obtinuti din samburi. Deocamdata sa creasca, dupa vad ce fac cu ei...


3. 12 unitati de ceapa Borettana.
    12 unitati de ceapa Red Marble
    12 unitati de chimen dulce (fennel) Orion
    11 unitati de sparanghel (asparagus) Jersey Knight
    13 unitati de anghinare (artichoke) Imperial Star
      6 unitati de patrunjel (Big Italian Leaf)
      1 tava de telina

        Cam atat, vroiam sa pun mai multe, dar nu mai aveam cutii de plastic transparente, care functioneaza ca niste minisere, in care sa le pun. Acum urmeaza sa le procur. Ori direct de la magazin ori online.

         Fotografiile sunt pe ipod, care-i la feciorul cel mic. Ce bine! Se uita la un film si ma lasa sa-mi aranjez gandurile. Cat timp eu lucram cu pamantul el "a facut cumparaturile", adica mi-a golit TOTAL un dulap marisor plin de conserve, cutii de pasta, pe care le-a aranjat "strategic" in camera de zi. Dupa, a hranit cateii si pisicile cu biscuitii sai, am plin de firimituri oriunde ma intors sa ma uit. Iar intr-un final, cand m-am asezat sa mananc imi dansa in brate, la propriu. Binecuvantat fie ipod-ul, zis.
         Maine intentionez sa pun alte rasaduri de rosii, din blocurile de pamant (sau unitati) in ghivece mai mici, daca urmeaza sa fie transplantate direct in gradina, sau in ghivece mai mari daca urmeaza sa ramana in acestea.
          Si mai trebuie sa-mi platesc odata abonamentul acela anual pentru "Garden Planner". Incepe sa fie stringenta aceasta nevoie.

2. Gogosari
3. Castraveti
4. Ceapa verde
5. Ridichi
6. Spanac
7. Kale
8. Varza
9. Morcovi
10. Patrunjel
11. Marar
12. Cartofi
13. Vinete
14. Broccoli
15. Varza de Bruxell
16. Artichoke
17. Asparagi
18. Conopida
19. Praz
20. Ceapa
21. Celeri
22. Pastai
23. Bok choy
24. Zucchini

Unele imagini idei despre cum mi-ar placea sa arate intr-un final:

          Azi noapte nu am dormit deloc, ma gandeam cum fac sa inlocuiesc brazii, "blu arrow juniper", cei 2 care s-au uscat. Cred ca o sa-i duc inapoi la pepinaria de unde i-am cumparat si daca-s simtiti ori sa-mi dea altii, fiind in perioada de garantie. Daca nu, cumpar. NU renunt la ei, imi par chiar bine, estetic vorbin, unde i-am plasat.
Si, marea veste, am decis ca mai vreau 3 mari magnolii. Adica am sa le cumpar mici, dar ele cresc intre 4,5 si 9 m inaltime, largime. Adica o splendoare. Si am si locul perfect pentru ele. De-a lungul laturii insorite, cea care da inspre vecinii antipatici. Ma intreb daca or sa le placa. La cat sunt de acrii banuiesc ca detesta si florile.

         Dupa, m-am indragostit de un copac superb, "white birch", sunt 2 pe strada noastra si de fiecare data ma uit la ei imi spun ca-s extraordinar de frumosi.

Puseu de dezvoltare

         Nu, nu, nu de crestere, inteleg ca ala-i cu tzatza in gura. Asta-i fara tzatza sau cu tzatza doar cand nu se mai poate. A inceput acum cateva zile, poate saptamani. Am verificat, pe 20 noiembrie s-a intamplat prima oara. Ma bucuram cu fetele pe forum.

l-am pus pe marc in scaunel sa mancam si mi-a refuzat mancarea
il iau in brate ca maria sa nu vroia in scaun, face scandal ca vrea jos
dau sa-l pun jos in cur, se tintuieste in picioare
numai nu le-ar fi indoit sa stea jos
il tin, ce era sa-i fac?
si porneste, a batut tot parterul chiuind, dintr-o parte in alta
hmm, inca-s buimaca

           Eh, de atunci in fiecare zi ma poarta, iar azi a atins apogeul.  Azi n-a dormit deloc. Am incercat dimineata pe la 9 sa-l culc, chiar am reusit ca pe urma fratii lui sa se bata de cu spor, galagie mare, se ridica in fund si om a fost. I-am facut rapid un avocado cu morcov prin sita, l-a hlapuit tot dupa s-a intis pe spate ca sa inteleg ca vrea jos. Pana pe la patru dupamiaza tot purtat, adica are un deget pentru fiecare manuta. Chiuie, cand nu mai poate se lasa pe spate fiind convins ca ma-sa il tine. Hmm, nu am curajul sa-l las, sa nu-l sustin, poate de era vara si eram afara, pe iarba mai incercam. Asa chiar nu ma duce gandul. Se lasa luat in brate dupa se intinde sa-mi controleze gura, narile, urechile, ma trage de par, baloseste, cum ii pare. Mai rar accepta si sanul, dar scurt pentru cateva scurte minute, dupa se impinge jos din brate, foarte convins ca ma-sa-l urmeaza si dai, la batut casa dintr-o parte in alta.
            Pe la 7 eram terminata, ii ofer sanul mi-l pitiga bine, cu nervi. Mesaj clar. Pe la 7 jumate cauta el sanul, adoarme si zau ca am inceput spontan sa-mi fredonez in minte piesea aceea "aleluia" :)))). Adoarme, iar Bendis, in toata gratia ei, intelege sa coboare scarile cantand la muzicuta. Nici macar furioasa n-am fost. Mi-am spus ca-i facatura si mi-am promis sa fiu blanda de acum cu tot poporul. Vai, rad eu acum, dar zici ca ma impacasem cu un glont in cap.
           Cu o noapte inainte dormise mai mult in patru labe, adica el se chinuia, ca la tzatza nu renunta. Toata noaptea mufat si in miscare.
           Noaptea asta sigur doarme altfel maine cred ca o sa-mi dobor orice record la cafea, azi am facut trei presouri. Si rad, cred ca inca sub stare de shoc. Noroc ca mai am doi cu care am mai fost pe aici si stiu sigur ca trece, altfel m-as fi pus pe bocit.
          Ah, daca pana acum spuneam ca-i zen feciorul, de cand cu mersul asta mi-e ca o sa aiba cine sa-i tine companie lui Felix. Doi cu curu' de pamant ca nu le iese jocul. Doi caposi, care trag de ei pana in panzele albe ca sa faca ce-i obsesioneaza....hmmm.....Noroc ca mai am o bere in frigider. Analcoolica.
