Fenton Friday: Peas and Arugula

This past week we finally gotten some decent rains and the temps were pretty balmy, for the most part. 

I was able to harvest a few Asparagus spears twice this week. 

The Arugula seedlings are up (see photo at right) as are the 'Frosty' Peas, (see above). The 'White Globe' Turnips seedlings are growing fast too.

Still waiting to see some signs of life from the 'Traditional Chioggia' Beets, 'Crispy Colors Duo' Kohlrabi, and 'New Zealand; Spinach. If there are no seedlings showing up next week, we'll replant them.

The Black Seeded, Simpson Lettuce and Cilantro have only been in the ground for a week, so I have more patience waiting for them.

The 6-pack of 'Castle Dome' Broccoli seedlings continue to do well under their cover cloth

I did a little weeding, but we still need to apply fresh wood chips on the pathways that have gotten a bit bald around our plot.

I will also start seeding in some annual flowers soon into the Pollinator Garden strip. The forecast shows that one night dips down to 34 degrees next week, so I will wait until after that.

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.)
