Spring has sprung in the garden🌷! Last year, we had our best year ever for pest 🪲 control, mostly because we were blessed to have a praying mantis successfully lay and hatch her hundreds of eggs. I was hoping we would be as fortunate this year and was super excited to find this egg sack on our mulberry tree! If that wasn't exciting enough, our mulberry tree and passionfruit vine are budding 🌸 for the first time. Fingers crossed, we get to try our first fruit this year!😋 What is blooming in your garden?

Winter greens are starting to make an appearance in our garden 🥬! We are growing lettuce, kale, cabbage, beets, collards, and radishes this winter. What are you planting during the cold season?

Higher humidity and cooler temperatures have more than doubled our tomato 🍅 harvest this week! Tommy has been making some killer tomato soup lately. I can't wait to try it with this sweeter, yellow pear variety! 😋

Last weekend's harvest! Temperatures are starting to cool, so we pulled our cucumbers and watermelon plants. Can't wait for winter greens to start popping up!

We found a monster Armenian Cucumber hidden among the Lantanas! How much do you think this thing weighs?

Holy (basil) Batman! As the weather cools, we are harvesting some of our summer herbs for soups and stew season! 🍁
