This weekend, see me at two great local events. (These are both rain-or-shine with some tent/cover protection, so don't let the forecast scare you away!)

Fall Garden Day: Plant Sale and More
Fall is a great time to plant, and Green Spring Gardens is hosting numerous local plant and garden craft vendors to satisfy your gardening needs. A silent auction, bake sale, live music, food, and kids’ activity tent add to the festivities. Come and support one of Virginia’s most-innovative public gardens. Free admission.
Washington Gardener magazine will have a tent set us up near the main building and we will be giving out FREE PawPaw tastes, while supplies last! See www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/green-spring.

What is growing in your edible garden this week?
About Fenton Friday: Every Friday during the growing season, I'll be giving you an update on my community garden plot at the Fenton Street Community Garden just across the street from my house. I'm plot #16. It is a 10 ft x 20 ft space and this is our 7th year in the garden. (It opened in May 2011.) See past posts about our edible garden by putting "Fenton" into the Search box above.
