Spring has Sprung

After a few silent months of growing, with the transition from winter to spring all our crops grow and flourish and we have started to prepare the spring plantings.

Our gigantic neighbour's tree (which in fact was just done *loosing* all its leaves) has now started growing them back:

We have just finished the last harvest of snow peas, kohlrabis, broccoli (just before it went to seed) and celery and today we harvested some Broad Beans, which will go into a delicious Broad-Bean-Lemon-Risotto, with even more delicious sweet fresh Lemons from our neighbours garden (finally! non-bitter lemons, I prefer them sweet-sour and always wonder what the commercial farmers do to them to make them so ridiculously bitter...). Here are our gigantic broad beans:

Also, our Mulberry tree is getting heavier by the day. A few berries are already black and ripe, but most of them are still red:

Arugula, Rainbow Chard and Spinach are ready to be harvested once more (we get a good meal out of each of them about every 1-2 weeks):

While other things are just starting to grow:

Peas

Tigerella Tomatos

Red Iceberg Lettuce

Carrots

A Raspberry Bush

A Russian Black Tomato

And the peppermint in our herbsnail :)

Last but not least our days are filled with joy thanks to our two little kittens:
