This summer has been very dry, to the point of stage 3 water restrictions being imposed in the city; so we haven’t planted any more during this season. Â Our garden also experienced a bit of thievery when someone came in and stole most of our beets. Â They did leave a few behind, though.
Today we had a busy day in the garden. We were harvesting, planting, watering, trimming, and weeding. We harvested the rest of our radishes and spinach as well as some lettuce, mesclun, and green onions. We planted some more lettuce, mesclun, and basil. We saw our first tomato today, not sure which variety it is though. I guess we’ll know soon enough. We can also see a bunch of strawberries and raspberries as well.
Today we planted a bunch of stuff in the garden. Planting potatoes, garlic, multiplier onions, radishes, basil, green leaf lettuce, spinach, mesclun.
The cherry tomatoes in our garden are finally coming out, they’re a little behind the ones on our deck. Also, we’ve had a few beans recently, the purple ones seem to be the only beans that grew, even though we planted three kinds. The basil is doing ok, but it looks like an insect or two has taken a liking to its leaves. In one of the vacant garden plots, the garden community decided to plant pumpkins. Hopefully we’ll get some this year. The mural next to our community garden has been repainted, and it looks fantastic.
