Peppers, problems with the freeze

The peppers start well, but cold nights stopped their growth. Now, with the days beginning to be warm while Summer is arriving, we hope that peppers awake and begin to develop strongly. As you can see the leaves are shriveled and with a withered aspect due to the cold.

The first grape berries rise

With the beginning of June the first grape berries rise.

The vine is subject to attack by many pests or diseases which must be protected specially in the vegetative cycle.

Weather conditions greatly influence the mode and intensity of the attack, but the conduct of the vineyard, its sanity, the quality of prevention and caste whose resistance to diseases and pests can be very different from each other, also determine the severity of the occurrence.

The primary treatment phase takes place in a relatively short period of time: from the cotton bud till the closure curl, i.e. the first 3 months of vegetative cycle. The long, hot and dry Summer, main characteristics of the Mediterranean climate, usually does not require treatment between the close of the berry and the painter (the moment when the berries come color), and from then to the proximity of harvest limits the application of most treatments.

Broad beans: end of the harvest
