It appears the person was interrupted as they only pulled 2/3rds of the plant tags and stopped their rampage midway through. I was able to repair and re-set most of the damage. The whole thing is very disheartening really. Why can't people use their excess energy for good instead of destruction?
This week, I harvested a handful of Sweet Peppers (shown above), a Zucchini, some Cherry Tomatoes, and cut several Dahlia flowers.
The cool-season greens we sowed last week are barely starting to show. I'm giving them another week to make sure they come in.
I purchased some Romanesco Cauliflower seedlings to try out. I've never grown them before so wanted to give them a shot.
I'm still waiting on the seed Garlic I mail-ordered, but we have a few weeks to get them planted.
Next week, we will pull out the dying Cucumber vines and sow a cover crop in that open spot.
What are you growing and harvesting 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.)
Glad you were able to remedy most of the mess. Yes, such senseless damage. You'd think anyone would appreciate a garden rather than try to wreck it.
