Bulletin #2: July 2025

Our Tomatoes Are Sprouting!

A month ago, we reported on the garden’s beginnings. Today we present an update from the following weeks. Nature has responded to the care of Gardeners with visible growth.

Mutual support became especially important — we watered one another’s plots during holidays or absences.

The mini‑farm also required increased attention. What was sown has sprouted and now requires consistent care.
