We had a very changing spring this year, with some rain, some days with a lot of sun, and apparently this helped a lot for our garden. The fig tree is bearing so much fruits, it is impossible to keep up eating them. So, we are making fig jam, fig chutney, fig liqueur… And even then there are figs left. Today we all of a sudden saw so many Atalanta butterflies coming into our garden – and we had not seen this many butterflies in years. A whole family – there were more than ten of them buzzing around our heads and garden – was flying in to eat from the overripe fruits. Very special to see this many butterflies up and about.
