This post's title, and the fact that I am actually posting here, are NOT a joke. Happy April (Fool's Day), everyone! :)
I once again had lots to do this year so far, and winter is admittedly a slow-ish season for the gardening community (I know, still no reason not to post!) - but I hope you all have survived the bitter temperatures and piles of snow!
Over here I only saw snow once this winter, a very light dusting, for about 4 days - otherwise it has been above freezing! I know, I know. So mild. This explains why I am already seeing local asparagus in the supermarkets (albeit for 20€/kilo)!
Nevertheless, I managed to get away for a week to much warmer and milder (and more exotic) climates - I took a trip to Tunisia, which was pretty interesting and fun!
I'm only including some gardening/nature-related pictures from my trip here, otherwise there would be too much for this post (although I may post more if anyone requests). Not that there was a whole lot on this topic thanks to the desert climate - enjoy a few highlights of traveling around northern Africa!

| the most important agricultural crop - olive trees! |

| mountain desert oasis waterfall! |

| you see some interesting sights driving through the countryside, like this main (resting under the olive tree) selling is beans on a roadside stand |
 |
heading back up north there was a bit more vegetation
