Behind his mustache, the mine of Jacky Mercier market gardener in Frontenay sur Dive is perplexed:
funny weather though…
The good news comes from tomatoes: the first field tomatoes are here. At the head of the pack: the Nuit Australe and the Coeur de Boeuf rose.
They are concentrated in sugar like the end of July! A month before then.
The temperature differences from one week to another are around 20°! From 30 degrees, mildew is no longer a threat but when the temperatures go down, the rain (welcome!) wets the leaves in abundance, then there: watch out for mildew.
What to do ?
Bordeaux mixture that is not watered for 2 or 3 hours. for it to be effective. Or baking soda.
Listen again to get the proportions.
Good tomatoes! The “golden apple”, as it was once called.
