Powdery mildew of the sage

-
Image
  Powdery mildew or white sickness is a cryptogamic disease, that is of fungal origin, which can affect sage plants and occurs on the leaves. This is the most frequent pathology among those that can affect this aromatic herb and occurs in particular with mild temperatures and high humidity. It is a very simple disease to identify: because the white patches that are seen on the leaves of the sage are very characteristic. A reader of Orto Da Coltivare, Barbara, asks me exactly what her plant can have, describing the symptoms of powdery mildew. I answer publicly because I think it may be useful for many to know how to defend themselves from this problem with natural methods and above all how to prevent it. Recognizing powdery mildew on sage Those who cultivate the vegetable garden will already know powdery mildew because it is a frequent pathology also on other cultivated plants, in particular on pumpkin and courgette. Powdery mildew is also called white sickness precisely because it ...

The mille feuille birthday cake with Cream and Fruit is a delicious and easy to make dessert, ideal for concluding a rich lunch or as a birthday cake.

In a few gestures and with simple and genuine ingredients you will make a cake as good as the ones we buy in the pastry shop! This mille feuille birthday cake is also very beautiful thanks to its fresh fruit decoration; today I chose to garnish it with fregola and kiwi, but pineapple, peaches, grapes, berries will also do well … in short, a lot of space for your imagination!

Purple potato cheesecake, an interesting variation

Image
Why is purple potato cheesecake special? The purple potato cheesecake, you can guess from the name, is not a cheesecake-like all the others, although versatility is one of the main characteristics of this type of dessert. The famous Anglo-Saxon dessert, in fact, is appreciated for the margin of freedom it leaves to the “chef”. It is possible to make a cheesecake with practically any ingredient, and often just changing the composition of the cream is enough to give the preparation a new face. The variations on the theme, however, generally involve sweet foods. On the other hand, there is the cheesecake with strawberries, blueberries, chocolate and so on. Well, in this case, I propose potatoes as an ingredient in the cream. But not just any potatoes, but purple ones. First of all, I want to clarify why the colour. It may seem strange, almost unnatural that a potato takes on that colour, instead, we are dealing with a completely natural dynamic. The violet of this variant, in f...
