It has been a very wet week with heavy rains on most days and cooler-than-average temperatures, so I've hardly been out to the garden plot. That means the weeds are running rampant and I'm far behind on several chores.
At the pollinator garden strip, the Calendula and Common Mikweed (pictured above) are blooming as are a couple Bachelor's Buttons.
Look ahead, I need to start my cutting garden. I have several Dahlias that wintered over fine and will add a tray of Lisianthus seedlings that I purchased. The rest (Cosmos, Zinnias, etc.) I will start from seeds.
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).
