We took a sunny afternoon walk today. I have a background in agriculture so I'm always keenly interested to see what is going on in the fields and gardens of Gozo. I noticed that some of the orange trees have been picked clean since our last walk save for a few of the most inaccessible fruits. The artichoke plants have been decapitated as well. Something that caught Catherine's eye was a garden row in which individual prickly-pear leaves were propped up like little lean-tos to shade some type of small seedlings. The almond trees are beginning to bloom this month.
