Today was the hottest day
yet in the garden — over 90F! But that didn’t keep us from getting to work. We
took stock of what changed in the garden since last week, including the fact
that the peach tree has been losing fruit. We’re not sure why, but hopefully
we’ll still have some peaches to pick later this summer. We also found that the
chamomile on the side of the building was covered in a powdery coating, so we
dug it all up to prevent it from spreading to the rest of the garden. There was
more lettuce and radishes to harvest, which were delivered to the Bridge’s
kitchen. We also tended to the beans, which are already producing pods, and
spread out some kale and beets that were growing too clos together.
The other big project was
digging up all of the plants in one bed that the squirrels had gotten to. Once
the bed was clean, we planted zucchini. We also dug up several tomato plants
that were growing around the garden from last year and put them in their own
bed.
After all that work in the
heat, we ended the day inside and made fruit smoothies!
