Virtual Tour of DIGS June 7th

Dear Gardeners,

For a close up view of what's going on in each bed of the garden, have a good look on our virtual tour.
Here's the full screen slideshow.(click to embiggen)

And just so you don't trip over any hoses or gardening hoes, here's a map of everthing that's planted so far, followed by collage photos of the whole garden!



For the slower, more languid Virtual Tour there are some collages below. The viewer is starting at the right side of the garden, where you start to look at beds 1-3 where some chrysanthemums have been potted up from slips and are waiting for the next plant sale. If you click on this collage, it will be big enough for taking a closer look at everything in the photo: (use back button to come back here.)



Next, in the center right of the community beds (just near the potato tower) are beds 4-6:



Next, in the center left of the garden, as you have your back to the road, the community garden beds 7-8: Click to embiggen, use back button to return here.



And the very very exciting beds 9 and 10 (lettuce ready for tasting in bed 11):


Now I'm not sure what we call those little half-beds that are just under the left hand trellis with its lovely climbing rose and clematis, but for today, let's call them 12a and b. Here they are along with some other main features that you may like to see:



And I always admire the fabulous diversity of the family allotments.
So interesting!! The greenhouse is also shown; full of peppers. Yum. Peppers. :>)



Other news this week:

Time to plant seeds for crops that will go in July-August for cool fall and winter brassicas and greens.

Baby transplants that bolt, may have been root-bound in cell-pack. Next year we may have to be planting more transplants per Sunday so to keep transplants from root-bound-dom.

Seeding through mulch or top dressing may cause uneven germination. So on heavily lasagned or mulched beds, best to move mulch aside to set in transplants only.

Come have a look at the REAL garden when it stops raining.
It will take your tiny breath away!

Best, Jen
