Fermin Leizaola etnologo donostiarrak laiari buruzko hitzaldi bat ematekoa du sasoi ezin egokiagoan. Oraintxe dabiltza, han eta hemen, baratzezainak, aztarrika, lurrak prestatzen. Lurra iraultzea izan ohi da lan horietan lehena. Laia iraultzaileak museoetan biltzen dira orain, baina iraultze horren beharra etengabekoa da. Bostortza, aitzurra, otaitzurra, ondeaitzurra... Horien dantzak zeru laiatuen eran uzten du lurra. Orduan etorriko zaizkio simaur, luar, errauts, kare... eta era guztietako ongarriak.
Lurra iraultzerako, neguko egun gozoak baliatuz, landare ugarik bere egina izango dute baratzea. Tartean sapelarra, Stellaria media. Ezaguna da belar hau. Hosto txiki berde biziak ditu; tortotan hedatzen da, herrestari. Tortoen tontorretan lore txuri txikiak irekitzen ditu. Ukitzeko gozoa den bezala, jateko ere hala: ganaduak gustuko du, eta zeuk ere probatu: entsalada, zopa... Txoriak haren haziaren zaleak dira, neuk ez dut oraindik dastatu. Sortzen den tokian, zain bakarretik hedatzen da, eta kendu nahi izanez gero oso erraza da, luzatutako adarrek ez baitute zainik ematen. Baratze eta soroetako lur landuetan eta bide bazterretako lur harroetan topatuko dugu. Hezetasuna gustuko du, eta nitrofiloa da; hau da, sapelarra non, nitrogenoz aberatsa den lurra han dela adierazten du.
Garai batean, sapelarrak horitzera jotzen zuenean hasten ziren lurrak iraultzen. Egutegiak egutegi, benetako sasoia noiz zen erakusten zuen. Izan ere, sapelarra ez da nolanahiko izena.
“Sapia” sortu berria den landarea da. Landare berrien sasoia adieraziko ote du?
Landarearen izerdiari ere sapa deitzen zaio. Sasoi berriko sapa berria datorrela ote dio sapelarrak?
“Txima” edo “kalparra” edo “idien kopetako ilea” ere esan nahi du sapak, lur gainean hedatuz eraikitzen duen tontorrak, kalpar itxura ere badu...
Sapa sapotik etor daitekeela dioenik ere bada, hezetasunera, haren azpira jotzen omen dute...
Sapelarraz gain, izen asko du: sagu-belar (saguaren belarriaren tankerako hostoa...), izar belar (Stellaria...), txabarkoi, albaraka belar, xoi aska (xori bazka...)...
Ea hizkuntzalariek zer dioten...
It has small, hairy leaves on the bottom and extends the head between 20 and 40 cm. It's known as Bulgarian Viagra, Scarid Sideritis. It's a blue-like plant, because its hair gives it a bluish color. It lives in the rocky spots of the high mountains and everyone who has lived in... [+]
Euskal Herrian bertakotzat dugun baratzegintza eredua produktu historiko modernoa da guztiz. Oraintxe landatuak izango dituzten Ezpeletako, Ibarrako eta Gernikako piperrak; Tolosako babarrunak; Arabako patata; edo Duzunaritzeko arto gorria; guztiak dira 1492tik Amerikako... [+]
Datorren uztailean izango al dugu lanik? Izango al dugu labore uzta biltzeko lanik? Gure aldean, etorkizuna planifikatzeko eta antolatzeko gaitasun handia dute landareek; ia landare guztiek. Bere zikloa biziko den tokian gertatuko diren gorabeheretara egokitua izango da... [+]
Omitting all the fruits meted out,” the expression says. Mandio is a handful of apples, pumpkin and kiwi (Malus domestica, Cucurbita maxima and Actinidia chinensis). Many more will be maize (Zea mays); or beans (Phaseolus vulgaris); potato (Solanum tuberosum), onion (Allium... [+]
Do you have a vegetable garden? As a child, the two orchards I've met at home had a wall. One on the lap and the other on one side. A good use of the walls will make the garden have a great benefit. It will create a shelter: it will be placed in the right place to shade, or to... [+]
I should like to take this opportunity to comment on it to the reader: the longest days of the year have gone and the night has elongated and the daylight has begun to shorten. This will have terrible consequences on plants and let's avoid in nosotros.Este summer that we just... [+]
Make a hole with the planter and put the plant in. The grief guindillas (Capsicum annuum), which will heat up by the summer of this year, are already planted. Just to think about it, my teeth got sweaty.
In our town the river Oria becomes a curl, and in the people of the banks... [+]
From red, Rubus fruticosus and Rubus ulmifolius. In the red stem the new buds and leaves are red, although soon they will look green. In autumn, even when the cold burns your skin, the leaves will become red. Red in butter and red in old trash. Some say that the name of Rubus of... [+]
Most crops have been harvested. The end of the plant cycle is the germ that initiates the cycle of another new plant. When we replenish the harvest, we tend to collect fruits or seeds and eat from the two to warm up the winter. The plant has devoted enormous forces to the... [+]
Garlic, Allium sativum, is never missing in our kitchen. Dry heads hanging all year and new for the first six months. Garlic heads and grains are drifting away from home to the orchard, the time of sows. Also later, outside the planting season, garlic should go to the orchard... [+]
The garlic season is already here. Planting season of garlic. His harvest will be later, and he has to start working in the head. In the head, the garlic. But we don't all look for the garlic head. The garlic sown for greens is increasingly seen in orchards. Also in the orchards... [+]
I answer with a point, not of fear, but of respect and shame, more and more often, to whom I ask almost anything on plants. And that point is getting bigger and bigger.
In the evening, someone asked me when to sow the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). I was willing to give way to... [+]
