This week we also added Marigold seeds to the rebooted the pollinator garden strip on the exposed corner of our community garden. The two varieties are 'Siam Gold' and 'Primrose Flame'.
We also planted a dozen 'Stuttgart' Yellow Onions. It is late in the season to be doing so, but the onion sets were given to our community garden by HarvestShare to grow for suporting their food for the hungry programs. I'm not an onion fan, but I figured we'd give it a try and I found a spot for them by the Garlic bed.We weeded and watered -- it has been a very dry and warm week. I pray for some real rain tonight.
I havested some more Asparagus, but am now letting the rest grow up tall to collect energy for the roots and have a bigger crop next year.
We were also able to harvest the Arugula and Lettuce. The Cilantro (shown above -- in between the two salad greens) can be cut soon too.
Nice heads are forming on our Broccoli plants (shown at top). I plan to leave them in for a few more weeks to see if I can get even larger heads to harvest -- call me greedy.
The Radishes, Beets, Turnips (shown above), Spinach, Dill, Potatoes, Blackberries, and Carrots are all still several weeks from being ready to harvest.
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 14th 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).
