(Ita) Coltivazione fuori stagione: è solo un test...

November 24, 2007
La semina primaverile è ancora lontana, ma come resistere alla tentazione di provare i nuovi semi? Incuriosiscono, promettono profumi e sapori esotici, colori e forme nuove…
Così si inizia a fare prove per testare la germinazione, ma una volta che la pianta nasce, chi ha il coraggio di buttarla?
Volevo testare dei semi di mais, ne ho posto uno in cotone bagnato e nel giro di qualche giorno ha cacciato fuori una robusta radichetta: il seme si era rivelato vitale, era il momento di buttarlo, ma non ce l'ho fatta. Ora ho una piantina in balcone che affronta una stagione che sicuramente non le piace, la luce è poca, e cresce stentatamente. Qualcuno obietterà che è stato ugualmente crudele...

E' così che serre improvvisate si popolano di giovani piantine nate fuori stagione, in attesa che il tempo migliori.

Attualmente sto curando circa 40 piante di peperoncini differenti, fieno greco, lino e la mesta piantina di mais.
