We did some much-needed weeding at the plot and moved some errant strawberry plants that were growing in the pathways back into the bed. The strawberries are flowering prolifically which is a great sign for lots of fruits ahead!
We had a day of 80+ degrees this week (!) and so the arugula is bolting already. I'm going to let it go to flower and then collect the seeds to try in a recipe and save some for planting this fall.
I picked some asparagus and guided the pea plants' tendrils to the nearby trellis.
The radish 'Rudolf' are almost ready for harvesting. We pulled one and it is the size of a marble- so cute (pictured above)!
The organic salad bowl mix that we are trying in both a container and a row in the ground is coming along.
The row of 'Tonda di Parigi' carrots seedlings are up and gaining strength,
The garlic has doubled in size. Meanwhile, the dill, chamomile, and 'Bloomsdale' spinach seeds are not doing much of anything.
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.
