A quick update from my garden: 1+2 The tomatoes are starting to bloom, and there are already fruits on the Matina. That’s the only plant I bought after hearing so much praise for it; the other 26 varieties are home-grown. 3 The celery looks like it’s starting to form tubers 4 The peas are blooming—I’m already looking forward to snacking on them 5 Onions 6 Unfortunately, the fava beans are full of aphids despite spraying them with stinging nettle. Maybe I should try neem after all? 7+8 In the meadow, daisies, widow’s tears, meadow sage, and rattles (not in the picture) are currently blooming
