Our Chicago hardy fig is putting out fruit for the first time this year. Stay tuned for a full taste report once they get more mature.

Speaking of reports, Anna has a nice update on the effects of experimental biochar on the garden.

One of those pollinators was a Braconid wasp who attack tomato horn worms by laying white egg sacs as shown in the photo.
