What to sow in June? - by cronywell

Little by little, autumn leaves June and the days are shorter in length. The sun's rays become dimmer and the nights are long and cold, so very soon winter will be present. If you want to keep your garden alive, even in the coldest periods of the year, we help you make a plan, taking into account the space, the land and the crops that adapt excellently to this season.

There are some species of plants that do very well in low temperatures. During autumn and winter in the Southern Hemisphere it is recommended to plant green leafy vegetables. They are widely consumed and allow regular production to be maintained throughout the year, as they are also adapted to the spring-summer season.

To make the selected space more efficient, it is recommended to implement the famous vertical garden, an alternative that facilitates the production of food in urban spaces where there is not much land available.

The challenge of citizen participation in Argentina - by cronywell

The challenge of citizen participation in Argentina

The historic low voter turnout of 53% in Buenos Aires reflects a deeper problem that transcends immediate economic issues. Argentina is facing a crisis of democratic confidence that has been brewing for years, characterized by citizen disenchantment with institutional politics.

This disconnect arises from multiple factors: the inadequate treatment of the most vulnerable sectors, the absence of empathy in public policies, and the systematic inability to generate basic consensus among political forces. The result is a fragmented society where citizens are progressively moving away from traditional democratic mechanisms.

The recovery of democratic trust requires a change of approach that prioritizes dialogue, genuine social inclusion and the construction of minimum agreements that transcend party differences. Only in this way can this worrying trend that weakens the very foundations of the Argentine democratic system be reversed.

What to sow in May? - by cronywell

The month of May, in the Southern Hemisphere, is a good time to start a small garden, where you can produce healthier food. In addition, this activity also helps to disconnect from the outside world, think less and get in touch with nature.

To have a garden, we only need a portion of land. It can be in the garden itself or the patio of the house. But, if you don't have that space, you can choose to have a vertical garden.

In May, to start the garden or add new vegetable varieties, the land must be reinforced. To do this, organic fertilizer, compost or fertilized soil will be needed. In addition, the irrigation system must be reviewed, since the rains during this month are usually much more spaced and modest.

A not minor detail during this time of the year is frost. It is essential to protect your plants from low temperatures.

For this particular month you will be able to produce green leafy plants. You can start in small pots, or in small spaces of soil with arugula, radicchia, lettuce or shallot. But, it is a time when it is not recommended to plant any fruit such as eggplants, zucchini or tomatoes. You can also start producing garlic cloves and onions.
