This week was a weather rollercoaster with windy, sunny days and cold, wet days -- and even one day where we hit 80 degrees!
We planted a row each of Carrots 'Short 'n Sweet' and Radish 'Sparkler'.
There were no sign of seedlings up yet for the Lettuces or Peas, but both kinds of Kale seedlings are up!
I harvested a bit of the Cilantro that over-wintered to add to a Mexican dish.
In the pollinator strip, seedlings are up for both the California Poppies (pictured above) and a Wildflower Mix. I aslo added a second kind of California Poppies there -- 'Buttercream'. I've never had much luck with poppies in the past, so am hoping we get a few flowers from them.
Wood chips and compost was delivered to the garden, so the interns and I spread chips on two sides of our plot.
Next week we hope re-do the garden's bulletin board and add some more cool-season seeds for Arugula, Spinach, and Parsley.
What are you growing and harvesting in your 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 15th 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).
