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!

It's going bad! Either the heat or something has withered one tomato. The one jalapeño I planted in ground has been EATEN and I'm blaming all the animals I've seen (squirrels, chipmunk, rabbits, birds) but ultimately I'm...fine with this. My garden is mostly a way for me to come to terms with the inability to be perfect at something. There's still tomatoes growing. I'll make something even if there won't be enough to can.
