Fenton Friday: Dahlia Days



This week was another rainy one and then we had a few nice mild days with part-sun. The Dahlias are looking amazing and I'm cutting armfuls of them a few times a week. The Zinnias, Marigold, and Cosmos are also blooming nicely. Here are a few pics of some arrangements I made with them and some of the Lemon Basil.

The Lettuce seeds we planted last week are not germinated yet -- I'll give them a few more days before considering replanting them.

The Peppers, Tomatoes, and Blackberries are all still producing well. I think though it is time to pull the Gherkin Cucumber vines and maybe the Zucchini as well.

I'm planning on planting Radish and Carrots seeds next week.

What are you 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 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 13th year in the garden. (It opened in May 2011.) See past posts about our edible garden by putting "Fenton" into the Search box above (at the top, left on this blog).
