Alissa Dahlgaard (a 2016 Children's Farm Garden Guide) has started her new Farmer in the Dell microgreen business. She was at the Palos Heights Farmers' Market doing a brisk business on this debut day for her new business! Hooray Alissa!
Just like last year. Something eats the first head of lettuce. Rabbits I suppose?? But this yer didn't get too much!
I started digging out the comfrey from behind the compost bin where we hang the tools. Huge woody roots. I finished in 2 days, but doubt that I got it all. I think I'll plant sunflowers there. Wait a year or two before planting another perennial there, since it will be easier to see the comfrey I missed.
Corn plants look wonderful We are way ahead of the knee high by the 4th of July standard! Garlic and onions looking about ready to pull.
Kale, cabbage, broocoli in bed 5 (far right). Potatoes in bed 6 (middle). Tomatoes in bed 7.
Cucumbers growing fast!
Squashes growing fast too.
Herb garden looking great! Pink are Bergamot. Tall purple spikes on left are licorice mint. Both great for tea. Yellow and a few orange Calendula line the inside path of the garden. Eible petals to add color to salad, salsa, etc.
