My Ceanothus americanus is flowering and absolutely crawling with insects. Below are pictures of the star-shaped flower buds before bloom and then some more of the blooms themselves

We’ve also harvested a ton of cherries this week, along with snap peas and a second round of lettuce. Our trap tomatoes are growing a little slowly but our production ones are beginning to set fruits.

What’s growing on with you all?

    Is your summer long enough for that? It needs very warm, like coastal SE Asia warm. Otherwise it doesn’t grow much, so as a leaf crop, it isn’t worth it. (I grew it years ago, and though I live in a place warm enough for durian, this never did very well.)

      I’m not sure, it’s an experiment.

      I have one in my backyard that seems to grow OK so maybe?

      My climate is very hot in summer so I’m trying to find greens that aren’t bitter in such weather, and this is the best flavor that I’ve found so far.
