What’s Growing?
Most of the garden is still sleeping. The garlic is up in the bed on the far left as you look up the hill. It will be ready to harvest in July. The peas were planted in the fourth bed on March 16 and are ready for eating. The strawberries in the next bed are eaten as quickly as they appear.
Most of the beds have been planted. The strawberries and blueberries are blooming. Seeds of beets, radishes, lettuce, kale, spinach, bunching onions, turnips and carrots have been planted and many have sprouted. Tomato, pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, and eggplant seedlings have been planted. There are also potatoes and sweet potatoes in the ground.
If you are looking for edible flowers or herbs we will have those too. Look for calendula, alyssum, gem marigolds, nasturtiums, german chamomile, rosemary, cilantro, oregano, dill, thyme, chives, sage, and lemon grass.
Our next official work day will be in July, but feel free to pull some weeds anytime.
The adirondack chairs are being painted and will be on the lawn in the near future.
Our garden was begun with a grant from the Northern Rhode Island Conservation District, Rhode Island State conservation Committee and the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Services.
If you enjoy the garden and would like to make a monetary donation, you can use our paypal link.
