And this year I'm having lots of ants, last year there weren't, but curiously no aphids this year and last one, lots of them.

Y este año hay multitud de hormigas, el año pasado ninguna, pero es curioso que no hay pulgones y el año pasado, muchos

Un detalle de la rubia que tengo en casa. Este año pienso cosechar las raíces. Cruzo los dedos. Mientras, unas flores. Si os fijáis, tienen cinco pétalos, pero ¡hay algunas con seis!

Remember not to remove lichens from natura to dye, they are very delicate and need years to grow.

I'm very grateful to Antonio Rodríguez Ruiz, in the first foto, to also Antonio and Carmen for organizing it. These beautiful mats, and tablecloths are theirs.
And, of course, to Museo a mano / @museodeltraje, too!

Y estas son todas las fotos que he hecho O_o Si tardo un poco más no queda ni la papelera para la foto…
Muy contento con toda la experiencia, la gente muy entregada y El Retiro muy detallistas en la organización.

Thanks! The first link is 404, and all this is for the data USA-NPN already have, but I was speaking of formatting my own data to share it in a standard format, so anyother can use it, if they wanted to. But as of your answers I'm supposing there is not such a scientific standard. Still searching!

Maps are a great resource to visualize, but I was thinking on raw data, so I can share and others could use for their analysis...

Is there any standard to share this data, once is recorded?

no idea, I don't know if flax could thrive in a soil like that.
Other possibility is that maybe you can try on a big pot with new soil...

Just 100 days (aprox.) It's a easy crop, I think, only make sure it has a constant watering.

I think you can use it from the first year growth, but it is best at their third year, or third autumn, when it should be harvested. (then processed to dry and storage or used fresh...)
