The greenhouse has hit that point in the season where it feels like everything decided to grow at once. Tomato plants are filling out, and there’s a real sense of things tipping over from “just planted” into “actually thriving.”

Out in the beds, one of the cabbages has decided to go all in and head up early — always satisfying to see one just get on with it ahead of the others.

The eggplant is flowering, which always feels like a small milestone in itself.

And the peppers are filling out nicely too, leaves glossy and dense.
