Fenton Friday: Asparagus Debut

This past week was a wild one! Tornado warnings, deep freezes, and some brief periods of balmy sunshine.

I removed the cover cloths off all the seedlings yesterday and was pleased to see both the pea and carrot seedlings have surfaced! They join the radish and lettuces, which we thinned a bit. Not only that, several spears of asparagus have popped up. I had almost forgotten they were there!

We did a bit of weeding and also added seeds for dill, chamomile, and 'Bloomsdale' spinach. They are all old seed packs, so we sowed them very thickly. We'll see if anything even comes up of those, but I figured, "why not?

Are you back in your edible garden yet? If so, what are you growing?

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 in zone 7 Mid-Atlantic MD/DC border. I'm plot #16. It is a 10 ft x 20 ft space and this is our 11th year in the garden. (It opened in May 2011.) See past posts about our edible garden by putting "Fenton" into the Search box above.
