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!

    All things considered - we’re very happy with how our garden is going! It’s me and my wife’s first year gardening, combined with a horrible drought in our area and limited free time to work on it we had very low expectations. So basically anything feels like a win! We’ve gotten a million cucumbers, eggplants and beets, a smattering of tomatoes/beans/peppers, and a huge crop of winter squash coming in. We feel like we’re learning a ton, and already have some ideas for what we want to do differently next year!
