While at the Leesburg Flower and Garden Fest last weekend, I bought some new asparagus starts ('Martha Washington' from Harvesting-History) to re-do that bed entirely as it is a weedy mess and the asparagus harvests I get right now are rather paltry. I'll also have to pull out the strawberries and yarrow that are interplanted there and find better spots for them. I hope to stay better on top of that bed in the future and not let it get quite so wild.
What are you growing in your edible garden this season?
About Fenton Friday: Every Friday during the growing season, I'll be giving you an update on my community garden plot at the Fenton Street Community Garden just across the street from my house in zone 7 Mid-Atlantic MD/DC border. I'm plot #16. It is a 10 ft x 20 ft space and this is our 12th year in the garden. (It opened in May 2011.) See past posts about our edible garden by putting "Fenton" into the Search box above (at the top, left on this blog).
