Beautiful work! Maybe too smooth?
Won’t a fierce rapid with a hammer not make a nice round hole sometimes? 1 in 3…Those drill bits don’t come cheap! Better buy a pvc tube cut a small bit and work it back up with chalk/sand mixed 1ch/3sand.
The beans are huge this year, the daily rain makes them giant!
we collect beans more than 30 cm long with 6 large grains in each… 
here for more than 15 days, it is cold with 15°C (59°F) and we no longer see the sun with rain every day. This is completely abnormal since we had to put the heating back in the house on June 2! a normal year we have 25°C (77°F) and last year we had over 35°C (95°F)… it’s time to climate’s collapse !
The positive side of this bad spring is a proliferation of flying insect, and therefore a lot of birds which is nice to see. 
Amazing updates 
I have a feeling so much is going on in everyone’s gardens that I am having difficulties keeping up with everything 
… today at the same time it is 15°C and the fine rain it feels like London… 
Awesome. What rocket salad you have?
as you can see on my first post, a harvest sample of my aragula landrace, which is composed of Purple Stemmed Rockette still from Wild Mountain Seeds USA with which I integrated seeds from a friend who found a foot resistant to insect beetles.
A very good landrace, for eat all winter !
Stephane, i cannot remember from everybody what they did and said! Haha. I’m just a daft talker mate!
Do you mean flea beetle damage resistance? That’s interesting, but they’re not very active in winter.
I had a wintercrop and a springcrop of Poot his seeds, the wintercrop had no fleabeetles to speak of, the springcrop was not attractive to eat because of them, despite the cold and wet spring.
I have a perennial wild relative of the Arugula with yellow flowers, it starts to grow like mad when the arugula/rocket salad bolts. It’s taste is much more on the hot side and it suffers from this beetle, but it’s growth rate is so high the young ends are untouched and great for in salads year round. It lacks this crunchiness though…
yes flea beetle damage resistance !
one plant in spring culture was intact while everything else was eaten. The neighbor kept the seeds, I am integrated a percentage in Purple Stemmed Rockette which is an already very variable and adaptive population with exceptional vigor.
certainly some nutritional benefits also with some antocyane 
the oregano are all close here with a lot of species, probably 20… but I still have not found hybrids…it will be necessary to sow massively and search for the off type next year 
After a hot week above 30°C, farmers took advantage of the weather to mow the prairies. Pollinators are found overday without food since wild cut flowers.
The gardens are there to take over but it takes a lot of flowers to feed everyone nectar and pollen. A small sound atmosphere of a summer day in a garden that takes care of pollinators. The noise is deafening but so pleasant. bzzzzzzz 
a hybrid buddleja attracts varied butterflies, following only honeybees because of its shallower flower tubes.
For more crossing plants will receive massively insects! without them we will get nowhere because they are the best workers we can have
Beautiful pictures Stéphane. Thank you
not obvious with strong lights and subjects excited by the meal 
you can get the sound of the insect gathering on the following video, MAKE SOME NOIIISEEEEE!! :
My neighbors told me my property was a fire hazard, so I finally got a mower. All spring I’ve been mowing around the wildflowers, only mowing them after the seeds are ripe. Two sections I am deliberately leaving wild so the summer bloomers have a chance.
