In late spring I sowed the variety of butter croissants Rocquencourt. It 's a bean that grows semiprecoce nano wires, my favorite. The plant, which becomes high approx. 40 cm, produces a huge amount of beans yellow-gold about 17 cm long. It 's a variety suitable for storage in the freezer. Accomplices weather conditions, the seeds have germinated in full and the plants have grown strong and uniform of producing beautiful clusters of purple flowers, which soon gave rise to yellow-gold fruit.
all testify to the good health of cotivazione.
And these photos I took at the time confirm this.
But, given the sharp drop in temperature, which occurred during the famous hail in July, the plants of croissants have suffered severe stress and are suddenly filled with aphids.
I must confess that these events when they happen I can not explain how they came so suddenly and crowds all these aphids.
I have the time to document and understand if finally appear out of nowhere, or where they were until that moment and how do they find my plants croissants. These are the thoughts
I had in mind when, day after day (the month of July I was on vacation and I could afford it) tended to my garden and I saw those trees so infested with these little insects.
But that's not all!
to torture even better my thoughts after a couple of days, again from the "Place of Nothingness" where aphids have arrived, here are a host of extras and some ladybugs grasshopper. But who told them that there, right on my plants croissants, there were aphids?
I had not found an answer at the moment, but certainly in those nights I went to bed peaceful and serene, not only because those strange animals with their greed and have failed saved my harvest,
soptattutto but because I have shown that even today, in this world where everything seems to go down, but something is still working as it should work and that Mother Nature, for now, not yet sick of worrying about us and the world around us, despite the damage that we can combine, even in our small, day by day.
Ricordiamocelo.
