Powdery mildew of the sage

  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 ...

POLENTA GNOCCHI WITH GORGONZOLA, A FIRST RUSTIC

Polenta gnocchi with gorgonzola dumplings, a true symphony of first fruits Polenta gnocchi with gorgonzola is a very tasty first course, with a rustic character and quite simple to prepare. They differ from traditional gnocchi as they are not made with potatoes, but with polenta. Consequently, the procedure is also quite different. To prepare these dumplings, in fact, the polenta must first be cooked (using other ingredients, such as gorgonzola) and then divided into balls. The result is different than usual and is able to tantalize the palate. Also from an aesthetic point of view, it looks good, especially for a pleasant golden yellow (also thanks to the passage to the grill). As for the nutritional principles, I must admit, we are not dealing with a light dish. Also because there are many ingredients that exceed the number of carbohydrates and fats. I believe, however, that once in a while an exception to the rule is good, on some occasions it is allowed to yield to taste without thi...
