In light of\u00a0 the damage done<\/a> to Plot 63 at Roseville Community Garden<\/a> by the July 18th hail-storm<\/a>, I replanted about half the area of the garden on the afternoon of Sunday, July 22. A chance to “reboot” the plot, take advantage of some of the things I learned already this year, and salvage the remainder of the growing season. I was up for the challenge, and with 3-hours prep & planting, Garden 2.0 emerged.<\/p>\n

With no live plants left at any local or chain garden shops, I was relegated to planting from seeds (and some, ugh, are …Martha Stewart Living<\/em> seeds, although most were Ferry-Morse<\/a>). And I wanted to be sure that what I planted had time to mature in the last half of the season. Given the success I had with the\u00a0Cherry Belle Radishes<\/a>, I planted about 10-feet (2 – 5-ft rows) of them, as well as 10-feet of\u00a0 Sparkler Radishes<\/a>. Also about 15-feet of Detroit Dark Red Morse’s Strain Beets<\/a>, 6-feet of Ruby Red Swiss Chard<\/a> (a new favorite recipe of mine to follow in another post this week)<\/em>, and one new hill of each of Cucumbers<\/a>, Black Beauty Summer Squash<\/a>, and Early Prolific Straightneck Squash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I’m writing this on the evening of July 23, we’re experiencing our second wave of massive thunderstorms of the day. Hopefully, the heavy rains won’t wash out the newly planted seeds (a case of deja-vu to what happened earlier<\/a> this year?) and get them off to a happy, healthy start. Time will tell. So below is the new baseline “Garden 2.0” picture taken Sunday, July 22, 2012.<\/p>\n
