Un pomeriggio di maggio sono uscita a “caccia” nei campi dietro casa e ho rimediato solo…un deretano di lepre! Attorno a casa nostra c’e una bella porzione di bosco, ma anche tanta campagna.
Nelle campagne finlandesi si coltivano per lo piu’ cereali: segale, avena, frumento, orzo. Anche la colza, il ravizzone, la barbabietola da zucchero e il lino sono colture diffuse. Man mano che si sale verso la Lapponia le colture diventano sempre piu’ selettive: la segale e’ la piu’ resistente. Si fa un solo raccolto per anno. L’avena qui e’ molto usata nella panificazione e il lino come soffice alternativa al cotone per la produzione tessile.
Hop! On a May afternoon I walked out to “hunt” something in the fields behind our house, but I captured just… the backside of a hare! (We live in a rural area with a lot of forest and fields).
In the Finnish countryside they grow primarily wheat, barley, oats and rye. Also turnip rape, rapeseed, sugar beet and flax are widespread. In the northern part of the country they can still grow rye, as it is very strong. Only one harvest per year is possible. In Finland a lot of types of bread are made with oats and flax is used as an alternative to cotton for textiles.
