How does our garden grow
May. 22nd, 2016 07:23 amBetween keeping weird hours and rain, this is only the second time I've been out to our garden plot this year.
fayanora's strawberries are trying to take over. and this time there are lots of ripe ones. I texted here so if she has time before she takes off for her usual Sunday stuff, she may harvest some. If not I'm going to grab them later today, weather permitting.
What I did grab were some of the "unplanned harvest". That is, edible "weeds".
I got the huge dandelion I was after but also grabbed a fair sized plantain (the herb, not the fruit).
Cooking up some of those now as part of breakfast. May try making a salad later today. I've got lettuce, and with the dandelion leaves and some cheese it'd do.
Gotta see about removing the leftover stalks and stuff from last year, and the non-edible weeds. Also need to find out what Fay wants to do with the excess strawberry plants. My vote is to offer them to other folks for their plots.
I also need to find out what the neal is with the raised planters (basicly stock tanks full of dirt). They're intended for the folks who don't bend over so well, and I definitely qualify. If we can get assigned one, I'll plant the carrot and radish seeds in there, and then we'll see what we can get at the nursery to but in the plot.
Also need to find out who is taking over Marty's plot since she moved out. I'd like to transplant some of her rhubarb.
