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 if you look under the dead leaves of the strawberries in the next bed, you’ll see new growth.
Most of the beds have been planted. The strawberries and blueberries are blooming. Seed 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.
If you are looking for edible flowers or herbs we will have those too. Look for calendula, gem marigolds, nasturtiums, german chamomile, rosemary, cilantro, oregano, dill, thyme, chives, sage, and lemon grass.
The first work day will be Sunday, June 1 following the worship service when we will finish planting seeds.
We hope to have some adirondack chairs 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.
