Ponte dei Portoghesi
Basil, aloe and other ...
Hello to all, in these days we are dealing with the estate and its products including the most precious basil, this morning we have prepared a mini-greenhouse to protect it from "cold" night (+12 ° C), instead of days the temperature rises fast to reach 30 ° C in the shade. Last Sunday, we made an excursion to the north, after about 100 km of new road and perfectly paved, we have come to the so-called "Bridge of Portoghesi"
that seems to have been built by their own about 300 years ago. The place is called Debre Libanos, you can admire a beautiful landscape: the plateau suddenly stops and looks out over a broad canyon almost a thousand meters deep, down there at the bottom runs a tributary of the Nile blue. Skip to the brink of the precipice baboons, females bring back the small-born and males exhibit a long fur coat from arruffato wind. Along the way we have observed that the farmers spulavano cereals (sull'acrocoro here, if the rains are regular, there are two harvests per year). The horse with the snout attached, are made for walking round the ears trample free so that the seeds. We also brought home a souvenir of the trip, a beautiful Aloe plant in bloom:
which has already found a home in our garden, will soon try to remove the gel mix with honey, they say has portentose property.
A hug, Luvi and Daniel.
