We pulled up the last of our spring planted beets tonight. These were all bulls blood variety with beautiful dark leaves and deep red roots.

Candy onions are easy to grow with their strong root system and disease resistance. These were planted on April 12th 101 days ago. They are ready to harvest in 90-100 days.

Disappointment is when you find out the poblano seeds you grew are now producing shish*tos! We have the longest row of shish*tos! We do not need this many shish*tos! I specifically planted 12 shish*to pepper plants because I know how prolific they can be. We also picked up extra California Wonder peppers at a nursery that have turned out to be jalapeños. 😩😩😩😩

We can’t wait to host our first 2025 u-pick flowers this Saturday. All ten reservations are filled. If you are unable to attend, please let us know.

We will be community gardening that day, so we would like you to park on the street or over by the senior center please. Our parking area gets crowded and we have young children in the area.

Thinking about the first average frost date: October 14th (could be earlier or later). This means we have about 12 weeks left in our growing season. 84 days give or take.
That is still plenty of time to plant seeds and grow more. Right now we are filling holes.

We’ve added in melon plants where the garlic had been, summer squash where the green cabbage was planted. Yesterday we planted out bok choy plants where the purple cabbage had been. We still have other rows and holes to fill. Lots of choices but we think we will plant green beans, slobolt lettuce, radishes, summer squash and carrots to fill the empty spaces. We might be oulling out some aphid infested kale and replanting as well.

It’s also time to plant cilantro again. It will be ready in time to make salsa once the tomatoes start coming on. The slowbolt variety helps.

Today our Lil’ Gardeners put together a few broomstick scarecrows for the garden. Meet Harry and Fashionella Pearl. The children named them. They are perfect!
Our younger gardeners help with planting, harvesting and squash bugging. We have a special classes twice each month where they learn about something connected to gardening and pollinators. They read the book, The Not So Scary Scarecrow. Today’s lesson was on how being kind is a great strength and brings us all together! This is important as we work together in community at the garden.

More color is coming into the garden… we are still holding out for a large tomato harvest in the future. Today we removed the remaining cabbages, started pulling up carrots, and harvested basil, beets, cucumbers, eggplants, jalapenos, onions, a few peppers, shallots, and summer squash.
