When I was in plot in April I try to measure my vegetable garden and make a plan because I wanted to know how many digged empty space I have for my other vegetables and try to figure where I will plant them.
I make some symbols for the plants I already transplant in April and after that I measure that I have dug about 115 m². This is something like 1237 ft².
We are in our property these days and we try to pruning the olive trees. I said “trying” because the weather is not so good with rain most of the time.
March was rainy and cloudy and most people around have a problem with olive trees pruning. Usually we are the last in pruning because we live far from here but this time I think we are from the first people. Some times we hear the noise of chain saw and see smoke around but not so often.
I am writing this as the sun rises early in the morning. Sun… well we have sun the last 2 days but the March was cloudy with rain. I was waiting 12 days to see the sun because we had a very big cloud in the Greek sky.
And when the big cloud gone…. I check the weather forecast and the sky was clean with sunny warm days. And I decide that it’s time to go to my farm/plot/whatever (well until now I don’t know which is the right english word 
)
So… I will go there on Monday and now I try to prepare anything I need to take with me. I also talk in phone with one man who has tractor because I want him to plough my land.
But…. the weather forecast change today…
Rain and clouds come again from Italy….
This is not good. I want to plough the land and prune my trees and plant my potatoes and onions. I have months to go there and I have no idea if we have windows anymore because winter is a difficult season with many thieves or poor illegal immigrants around.
Except that my tomato seedlings here die day after day without sun. I sow again most of them and I hope to save some seedlings for early plant.
As I was said before we work in plot by hand traditional tools only. This is not easy because the plot is big and the weeds many every year. Usually we can’t clean all the area by hands so we clean only a small area around the vegetable garden and house.
We don’t have electricity in plot so the only power tools we can buy are the tools which work with gasoline. Usually these tools are more expensive than the tools which work with electricity. (Ehmmmmm and gasoline is not so cheap in Greece anymore, I think we have the most expensive gasoline in Europe now)
This year I decide that I want to harvest tomatoes in June so I start my seeds early on February 6-9. The days I start my seeds were lovely and sunny and warm. December and January we had very good warm weather also and I wanted to start my tomatoes before Christmas to be honest. But I was waiting to see what will happen the next months and finally I have sown the seeds in February
So… I sow my seeds with the same way as usually. Outside with clear plastic cover. The first days the sun love my seeds everyday. But one day… the sky was open as we said in my language. Rain, Storm, Wind, Crazy weather. I was afraid for my seeds so I decide to take the seeds inside.
