Last week, I posted about the Potato Takeover in the bed that I cleared out and planted the Radish 'Cherry Belle' seeds. Well, this week, autumn finally moved in with chilly temps and some actual rain. That left the potato plants with a touch of frost, though everything else in the garden seems unscathed.
I'm sharing a current pic (above) of our pollinator-herb garden strip on the outside corner of the garden. The Calendula (yellow) flowers are bouncing back very well no that the weather has cooled off (they hate the heat). You may recall that back in May a school bus crashed through and after they repaired the fencing there the garden was in complete ruins (Here is the post about it.) I'm happy to report that today -- despite the crash, drought, and some neglect on my part -- everything has filled in and is looking quite good.
The Dahlias, Cosmos, and Zinnias are still pumping out tons of flowers.
We've held off again 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).
