Hogan garden, 19th & Mississippi
The gardens are all producing good, clean, fresh produce that needs to be picked! At the same time, some "first crops" are now done and we are replanting with other veggies that will be ready in fall.
At all gardens you should find greens, especially chards and kale, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Summer squash can be found at Aptiv and City Hall (pick the round "8-Ball" zucchinis when they're about as big as a large soft ball). Peppers and eggplants are coming in now, too. At Aptiv and City Hall, we have herbs as well.
There are still potatoes at Hogan and Aptiv. Most have been dug at City Hall, though we did find a few escapees when we were replanting the potato bed recently. If a spot looks blank, it's probably got, or will get soon, seeds for turnips, beets, lettuce, spinach, and other vegetables that should be ready in late September. It's always a gamble, but worth a try!
If you pick your own, take what you need for a meal, but, if you can, leave some for the next person.
If you need help knowing what to pick when, come to a group garden time or contact us and we can meet you at a garden to answer questions. As always, we welcome more volunteers at our group garden times.
