Fenton Friday: Potato Takeover

You know how you always THINK you dug out every last little potato from a planting bed? Well, you always miss a few. (See pic at right.) In the case of the bed that I cleared out and planted the Radish 'Cherry Belle' seeds, I clearly missed more than a few! The potatoes have not only resprouted but they are starting to take over the spot that the radishes are in and then some. I suppose it is all the mild weather we have been having and that is the only spot I've been watering (other than the Brassicas bed). I think the potatoes think it is spring already!

Meanwhile, the Radish 'Round Black Spanish' and the Carrot seeds we planted are still not up.

This week, I pulled out the Cotton plants to dry them indoors as save their seeds.

The Dahlias, Cosmos, and Zinnias are still pumping out tons of flowers. Waiting for a frost to hit them and knock them back before I pull them out. That also goes for cutting back the Asparagus and Blackberry canes.

We've held off on planting Garlic, hoping to do so 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).
