			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Tra gli ortaggi meno fortunati dell’orto il cavolo la fa da padrona. Da sempre.<br />
Chi mai avrebbe potuto, nel Rinascimento, aver voluto come stemma araldico un cavolo?<br />
Nessuno, ovvio. E allora lasciatemi fare un po’ di lodi a questo sfortunato ortaggio.<br />
Il cavolo è <strong>ricco</strong> di sali minerali, potassio, zolfo, calcio, fosforo e magnesio. Si adatta a tutti i tipi di terreno e non ama la stagione calda. Da qui il proverbio:</p>
<p><em>Chi pon il cavolo in aprile<br />
tutto il mondo se ne ride</em></p>
<p>Il cavolo ben si adatta e matura in climi rigidi. E in inverno, per le famiglie povere, è stato un alimento importante &#8211; quando non c’era altro, o poco, da mangiare.</p>
<p>La parola &#8220;cavolo&#8221; deriva dal latino tardo <em>caulum</em>, che deriva dal greco <em>kaulos</em> (gambo, stelo): in senso figurato significa &#8220;nulla, cosa da niente&#8221; (es. non ti do un cavolo).<br />
E come mai tante espressioni come &#8220;testa di cavolo&#8221;, &#8220;non capisci un cavolo&#8221;, &#8220;cavoli miei!&#8221;?<br />
Non certo per le caratteristiche della pianta, elogiate da <strong>Plinio</strong> e <strong>Columella</strong>. Quanto, forse, per un eufemismo: si usa la parola cavolo piuttosto che ca&#8230;<br />
So che avete capito.</p>
<p>Veniamo ora alla <strong>mitologia</strong>. Un giorno Licurgo distrusse le vigne della sua terra. Dioniso lo scoprì e si arrabbiò così tanto da legare il povero Licurgo ad una pietra. Egli pianse, e dalle sue lacrime nacquero i cavoli, che da quel giorno furono antagonisti della vite. Come ci dice il <em>Mattioli</em> (<em>I discorsi della materia medicinale</em>, Venezia 1557):</p>
<blockquote><p>Dissero Teofrasto, Varrone e Plinio che tanto odio è tra il cavolo e le viti che essendo piantato il cavolo appresso a un piede di vigna si discosta la vite meravigliosamente da quello.</p></blockquote>
<p>Per i <strong>romani</strong>, ghiotti di cavoli, l’ortaggio era fonte di un ricco commersio e il cavolo era simbolo di prosperità e profitto.<br />
Qualcuno tra i miei lettori è <strong>toscano</strong> e conosce il detto &#8220;portar cavoli a Legnaia&#8221; per significare un’azione improduttiva e inutile? Per chi non fosse toscano, sappia che a Legnaia si coltivavano e crescevano degli ottimi cavoli, che venivano poi venduti nei paesi limitrofi e a Firenze.</p>
<p>Infine un problem solving:<br />
un contadino deve traghettare oltre un fiume un lupo, una capra e un cavolo. Sa che non può lasciarli da soli, perché il lupo vorrebbe mangiare la capra, e la capra vorrebbe mangiare il cavolo. Come farà il contadino a portarli di là dal fiume? E cioè a <strong>salvare capra e cavoli</strong>?</p>
<p>Alla prossima&#8230; e buona domenica.</p>

Oltre a tagliare rami, piantare e trapiantare qualche albero, potare meli e peri, se proprio volete&#8230; cominciate a preparare il terreno per le colture primaverili&#8230; se proprio volete fare qualcosa c’è sempre qualcosa da fare. Altrimenti mettetevi le mani in tasca e guardate la terra bagnata dalle piogge. Oppure leggetevi un libro.<br />
Io guardo i miei diversi tipi di cavolo crescere, con molta calma. Tra una pioggia e l’altra.</p>
<p><em>What is there to do in the garden in December?<br />
Besides cutting the branches, some tree planting and transplanting, pruning apple and pear trees, if you really want to start preparing the ground for spring crops &#8230; if you really want to do something there is always something to do! Otherwise, please hand in your pocket and look at the earth washed by rain. Or read a book.<br />
I look at my cabbages that grow very calmly. In between rain and the next.</em></p>

Visto da lontano sembra un fuoco di luce gialla che emette una nota dolce e continua che sfiora il cielo. Poi le foglie cadono in terra, e la abbelliscono di un variegato manto d’oro che risuona, in un pianissimo, le note del tardo autunno.</p>
