While this year's garden is more fallow than not in anticipation of its move, we do have some exciting things happening. Mini pumpkins are one of the prolific producers in the garden. This is one of the plants started by and planted by last year's 5th graders. The bed the pumpkin resides in had plenty of manure added in the spring, which seems to have this pumpkin very happy.
We have plenty of basil, peppers and tomatoes. The tomatoes are just starting to flower now, so we expect more fruit in August and September. The strawberries are producing a few small, but tasty strawberries. The pollinator garden has been host to a wide variety of pollinators, stop by and see how many you can see.
The most annoying invasive this year has been tear-a-thumb. With gloves it has been easy to remove, but remains persistent. There are other weeds, that are more annoying than troublesome and the pollinators seems to enjoy them so we are keeping those minimally in check. We have kale, cabbage and flowering broccoli (and those pesky white flies).
We are very excited about the new garden and look forward to planting our fall and over-wintering crops.
