Garden
This is my first garden in Germany. In the US I would have a large garden every year so I'm really excited to have one here this year.
The two pictures below are potatoes. I have over 400 potato plants in my garden this year. Which is not normal for me but they are part of a project I'm working on. This project is for my master thesis looking at Maria Thun biodynamic calendar.
Below I have a few rows of spinach.
Then a few rows of fava beans or broad beans.
Below rhubarb can be seen. Fun fact: My family always uses horse manure on rhubarb with the belief that it will grow better. But my family is not the only ones, many farmers also believe this.
A patch of mint that came up on its own.
We also have a field of fava beans, below.
At the beginning of the gardening season my boyfriend and I completely took up the old garden. Digging up all the old plants so we could have a whole new arrangement. I did not plant asparagus this year but as you can see below it is coming up on its own. Which is fine because I have been picking it to eat.
Below is a piece of asparagus I picked today. I was impressed with have long it is. It must be a good 3 foot.
All the asparagus I picked today.

Flower Garden
I don't do much with the flower garden. My boyfriends mother is the one who takes care of them. But I do like to take pitchers of all the flowers.
There was a bunch of bumblebees in these pink and purple flowers today.
