This is the last day of linen harvesting this year. The fields are mainly empty. Now all the bundles are tied and soaked, almost ready for layering open air.
Best weather for linen
29 August, 2015
I haven't been here for an almost whole month! Really missed the fields. Now is little cold for me, but this is the best weather for linen! For such biochemical processes that are going in inside the stems of linen.
Favorable conditions for maturing and preparation of high-quality flax straw are formed now at the end of August when the weather is warm with abundant night dews and often fall rainfall, average air temperature is 16-18 °C. Waiting! Need to be patient, and Belarusian nature will do the main part of flax cultivation itself.
Magic of nature processes

Now it’s time to spread all the sheaves untied all over the free empty fields - to be wet and dried under the rains, winds, dew, snows. That’s an engrossing process - how the earth will take the moisture from stems, how rains and dews will destroy protective layer, and make the fiber free naturally. Amazing!
Left for snow

Stems are here still. They became much softer. Now the temperature is low, approximately 8 degrees at night. Linen will be here till the first snow!
