Fenton Friday: Dill Seedlings

 
This week was another week of hardly any rain -- a big storm was promised, but we didn't get much here. Temps were cool and windy.


I harvested Asparagus, Cilantro, and Lettuce. I offered bunches of Cilantro on my local Buy Nothing group thinking they might want them for Cinco de Mayo - -so far, no takers!

Pictured at right are the Blackberries that are forming. I checked on the Strawberries and they are settling in.

The intern's Kale and Lettuce plants are doing fine and should be ready to harvest next week. 

The Dill seedlings (shown above) need thinning and I did a bit of weeding, but need to do much more.

I still see no sign of the Dahlia plants, so fear they did not make it through the harsh winter. 

In the pollinator strip, I found Borage and Brazilian Verbena seedlings. I will likely seed in some Marigolds and Zinnias there too.

Tomorrow we have a table at the Greenbelt-Beltsville Gardeb Club Plant Sale -- please come by and see us there!

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).
