Hey there,
How are your gardens doing? What’s gone well this year, and where are you having problems?
Things are looking good for me so far. Like every year, I had some trouble with black bean aphids on my fava beans, but that seems to have resolved itself (even though the affected plants aren’t yielding much).
I’m happy with my onions and potatoes… does anyone know why some of my onion sets are deciding to go to seed?
Wishing you all a great week!



Is that romanesco? I love that stuff, but it’s difficult to find regularly for some reason where I live and I’d love to grow it. Any advice or pointers? I don’t even know what season to start but it’s certainly not right now as it’s been either sweltering or windy and cold lately. I finally m moved into a house and got a side yard where I started a garden this year in a raised bed, tomatoes in pots, and a mishmash of old soil from pots that I threw some sunflower, pumpkin, and zenia seeds in with a bunch for fertilizer. Those are doing surprisingly well. Zone 9b.
