This past week, we planted a bunch of spider lillies in our bulb garden donated by Shirley Pierce from her garden and we have about 50 left to share. Thanks Shirley! We also planted some more onion sets in the strawberry bed donated by Robin Council. Thanks Robin! With the little bit of rain we had, everything in the garden is looking so fresh and pretty. Come check out the pea trellises that we have worked on (Thanks Cindy and Gretchen!)..too cool! There are some really big berries developing in the strawberry bed. The perennial herbs are incredible. The potatoes, brocolli, cauliflower, and brussels are all gaining speed. Radishes ready soon.
Preview for next week: Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes!
Saturday, April 24th in the garden…
What we are harvesting:
Herbs (Oregano, Parsley, Thyme, Sage)
Lettuce Mix
Collard/Mustard Mix
Note: Instead of individually picking leaves like we did last year,
we are harvesting this time by using scissors and cutting
bunches at a time. We might have cut too low on Wednesday
so cut a bit higher.
What we are working on:
Finish adding compost to Bed#13.
Add compost to Bed #14.
Complete trellis on teepee by tying vertical pieces of twine on
bottom two horizontal strands in same pattern as above.
Work on planting trees where placed. Backfill dirt with added compost.
Spot cover open areas where grass has popped thru by pulling up and pulling over cardboard and straw. Add additional cardboard or newspaper with straw if needed.
**Extra Spider Lily bulbs (around 50) available to share in garage (Thanks Shirley Pierce!!)
