| Sweet Potato harvest by Ellen Isaacson |
The vandal(s) have given up -- at least for now, so that is good news. The temps this week were mild, but we need rain.
We dumped out the Sweet Potato container and it yielded one big tuber and one little one (see image above). This is more than last year when we got zero due to the some rodents that ate everything planted underground and left us only the vines.
We pulled out half the Zucchini vines and put cover crop seeds in that place. We also replaced the rows of greens we planted earlier with 'Rudolph' Radish and 'Sweet Greens & Reds' Farmers Market Lettuce Blend. The previous seeds never germinated and I didn't want to wait too much longer on them as the cold temps will be here soon. Meanwhile, the two types of Cilantro planted next to them are coming along nicely. We'll likely thin them next week.
The Iron and Clay Cow Peas are producing like crazy right now. I'm leaving them all on the plants to dry and then we will harvest them.
The four 'Romanesco' Cauliflower seedlings are settling in.
We harvested more Peppers, Tomatoes, one last Zucchini, and a few handfuls of Dahlias.
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.)
