I put up a mason bee box in the garden this year. The top compartment is for putting cocoons in to release in the spring. The bees lay their eggs in the tubes and then seal them shut with dirt. Today I noticed the first sealed tube.

I am finally getting to use my raised beds. top are two types of Schwertlilie (sword lily?)
Below very small mangold (apparently this is chard in English) and parsley
i also planted a bunch of stuff a few weeks ago. zucchini, small cucumbers, shiso, wasabi (highly experimental), lemon gras, rhubarb for next year and my hopes for a couple of homegrown pumpkins. my dad does the tomatoes and the herb garden is running itself.
we already harvested a bunch of radishes and quite a bit of rucola.
ps: not everything is im the raised beds. the zucchini , the salad stuff. radishes, parsley. herbs are all over the place. tomatoes have their own beds behind the house. rhubarb lives under the 40 year old black berry
