Christmas in Malta

 To celebrate my 60 birthday, my sister and I traveled to Malta for Christmas in December 2018.  How exciting to experience culture during the holidays!  We were both intrigued by the Maltese Christmas gulbiena.  This tradition of growing vetches in the dark to bring out at Christmas.  The weeds, grow tall in the darkness as they search for light. I won't go into detail as to how to start this tradition, as there is much information available online.  It was my plan to start my own pot in 2019, but forgot to get seeds ahead of time.  I've now added to my reminder calendar and plan to start my little gardens in November this year!
