This week we finally had a decent rain and once again escaped the threat of frost/freeze. So I continued to pick Peppers, Tomatoes, Basil, Cowpeas, and Cilantro.
A gardener from one of my garden clubs came by to collect orange flowers from me for her Day of the Dead display tomorrow. We pulled a bunch of Marigolds (still in okay shape) out of the shared compost pile and I cut several orange Dahlias as well for her. I cannot wait to see pictures of how that turned out.
The Radishes, Lettuce mix, Cauliflower, and Cover Crops are all under cover cloths now and are growing well. Can you believe I have more Blackberries developing also? We'll see if any of those ripens before the frost.
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).
