Plot 63, Roseville Community Garden on Sunday, May 26, 2013<\/strong> (Click photo for larger image.)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Memorial Day weekend, five full weeks since Plot #63 at Roseville Community Garden<\/a> was planted, and the garden’s progress is way ahead of last year<\/a>. Part of that is due to the fact that I got things in early, and part due to keeping ahead of the weeds this year and making more frequent visits to the garden.<\/p>\n

The tomatoes \u2013 having survived the killing freeze<\/a> that took a toll on others in the garden \u2013 are approaching two-feet in height and contain dozens of blooms. ‘Maters by the Fourth of July?!?! Another frost alert tonight has me planning for a late evening visit to ‘cover up’ again, with fingers crossed that the weather guys are wrong.<\/p>\n

The first radish harvest of the 2013 garden season…and there are many more to come in the next weeks.<\/strong> (Click photo for larger image.)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Everything else \u2013 especially the beets, carrots, chard and radishes \u2013 are progressing marvelously, as the image of the entire garden above shows. In fact I brought home the first small harvest of radishes today, and my Mom’s trip to visit from Minnesota was deemed complete…she got her first fresh radish sandwich of the year!<\/p>\n

I’m happy because the potato salad for tomorrow’s Memorial Day block picnic will have some tasty radish garnish! It’s starting to ‘taste like summer’ despite the cool, damp & dreary weather. Let’s hope the frost hold’s off tonight and the gardens stay safe.<\/p>\n
