... 30 days earlier seeding does not mean you get a 30 day earlier harvest. It might give you only 10 early days at the end of the growing season. But that 10 days is nothing to sneeze at. Having early crop on some fields lets you harvest them earlier, which reduces risk of frost, hail, wind, insects and other enemies. Early harvests often produce higher grade and they spread the workload.

  • Cultures (Agriculture)
CONT

Conseils pour une récolet précoce. Plusieurs légumes et fines herbes dont les graines sont semées en pleine terre doivent être éclaircis peu après qu’ils ont commencé à pousser. C'est le cas, par exemple, de la roquette, du chou frisé, de la bette à carde, de l'aneth, du persil, du cerfeuil et du basilic. Vous devez enlever plus ou moins un semis sur deux pour donner l'espace nécessaire aux plantes que vous souhaitez garder. Les jeunes semis ainsi retirés agrémentent à merveille les salades et les sautés, et ils garnissent parfaitement les repas printaniers.
