I watched a tv programme the other week where they looked for truffles in UK - they were under a particular tree (forgotten which LOL) and were only just under the top of the soil and when they found one they then followed the root system (a bit like wet rot) to find lots more.
They made it look very easy but it obviously can't be!

Rural Hungary

Just seen this! Usually they are found under oak, beech or fir trees and I know they are in this area as a nearby village has a truffle conservation society. I think the summer truffles can be found from next month on wards but the best ones, the black truffle, are found in September - the same time as the cepes (porcini) so come September you will find us in the forests

Not sure what happened but this year it flowered

Does anyone know if you can get "Weed & Feed" in Hungary?

Despite hours preparing the soil, including weedkiller first, then digging and endless raking, we now have more weeds than grass growing from the several packets of grass seed we have sown and nurtured!

It's very frustrating!

Sory to say this witch weed killer applied, I been there and last seasion I did use a Total Weed killer like Roundup as UK it is avable over hear but the name I can not rember, but this year no prolems, I had ded Twitch long as boot laces when I started, but I can say it,s one way

My peach tree that we planted last autumn now has a few tiny peaches on it. It could be apricot, not peach as they were just labelled "Barack" on the market stall:

Cut the grass yesterday luckily, as getting long, although it should have been dry today its raining

Rural Hungary

With the wetter than usual June, anybody else suffering with blight or rust?

Pollypaprika

Not that I have noticed...but I am certainly over a month behind than I was last year. Its been slow, but everything is starting to grow now :-)

We have no blight as of yet out here although we were decimated by it 3 years ago lost 75% of our tomato crop and 60% of our potato crop... Thoroughly heartbreaking to have to rip out the infected plants and burn them to prevent the spread.

With temps climbing now beyond the "magic" 28°C mark, you should get very little further spread although I would take out infected plants and burn them.
