Year of potage
- We introduce pulses into the kitchen and turn them into legumes or peas, such as beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). A bean of beans has a lot of work to complete the path that leads to the kitchen: choosing and separating what we like from the grains of the previous year – we call it “parting” – collecting in the right place, cultivating and fine-tuning the field, sowing, cultivating, ploughing, cultivating, burning, collecting, enlarge and drying well, putting in the bag and giving it a good beating for the pods to be released, reading or soaking.
At other times, it was the same person who sowed, worked in the field, and after doing the rest of the work, he soaked and the next day he stole in the pot. Today, the vast majority do not even know where the beans it soaks are made. To know who's taken care of them...
What we know is that anyone who wants to adapt a healthy diet cannot forget the power. The United Nations has declared this year as the year of power. They say that they are food of the future and, unlike meat, one of the best options that we have within reach of sustainability.
We have a wide range of possibilities for the pot. The bean will be the one that has the most extension, a fine food brought from the outside: white, red, black... Some have not wanted to eat “that gender that is not even eaten to rats,” it is true that crude oil is not good for eating. However, once cooked it is edible. With peas and companions, cabbage (Brassica oleracea) and pork or sheepmeat or whatever, or without them, has calmed a lot of hunger. My grandmother Joxepa, who threw a leek (Allium porrum), tied a branch of parsley with a thread and sewed it with no more. Among the Zea mays or corn came the subtle helpers for the finest bean.
At this time of return from the harvest of the bean, we have to start sowing two other legumes: the one that gave it its name, the local bean (Vicia faba) and the pea (Pisum sativum). A peak for spring jets!

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.

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.
