Community tomatoes
We transplanted a few tomato plants to the community garden box, which is available to the public.
poppies
Bees abound and ripening berries
Several bees were visiting our flowers today. Â And a few of our strawberries are ripening.
New pathways
On the weekend, the gardeners gathered to place paving stones to create walking paths in the garden. Â More poppies are blooming and the rest of the garden is doing well.
Poppies are poppin’
More poppies are staring to bloom and a couple of the sunflowers are getting bigger. Â By the looks of things, our strawberry patch will be producing a bunch of berries this year. Â The transplanted lettuce seem to be doing well.
Garden varieties
We’ve moved a few of our tomato plants and lettuce to our garden this week. Â The strawberry plants continue to blossom and berries are starting to show. Â Some of the poppies are blooming and potato plants have been hilled up.
Strawberry fields
The strawberry plants in the garden continue to get more flowers, and we have some mint amongst the strawberries. Â The potato plants are getting bigger as well. Â The poppy flowers are starting too, with a few of our newly planted sunflowers sprouting next to them. Inside, we have a bushel of tomato plants and some lettuce too.
Summer drought and pilfered beets
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.
Lotsa lettuce
We returned from our trip to find our garden with an abundance of lettuce along with our new poppies and further growth in our potato and strawberry plants
