Dear Garden Lovers,
After the plantsale comes the plantings! Here is what is planted at the moment (shown in colour). Updated again on May 22nd so it's truly up to date.
Items in gray are soon to be planted. (cukes, tomatoes, squash, beans etc.)
Go have a self tour. Everything is looking great. Those folk who work on Saturday morning workparties are welcome to take the largest spinach leaves from the outside of each plant as well as some lettuce leaves from bed 7. Other lettuce is being planted all over the shady front of the garden including in pots, so soon we'll have a bounteous supply of "outer leaves" to pick. New lettuce will be seeded in June.
And for those interested in new tasty items, you maybe aren't yet familiar with the "Ground Cherry". It was new to me. It is a yellow "cherry" that tastes a bit of pineapple, that can be used for pies and crumbles, just like sour cherries. You just treat it like raspberries or other fruit. A fantastic fruit to have in your freezer! So we've planted eight of them. See recipes here: Ground cherry recipes
More updates on the DIGS plantsale to follow.
Best, Jen
