Dill

It's always a surprise and a delight when the seeds we plant in April and May grow into vegetables we can eat in summer and fall. The peas are ready at the Aptiv and City Hall gardens. The lettuce, kale, cauliflower, and cabbages are ready. At Aptiv, we also have beets!

Some potatoes might be found, too. Look for a plant whose flowers have fallen off and gently feel around just under the soil near the base. This year, we didn't have all the seed potatoes labeled, so early and late varieties are mixed together and it's a bit harder to know when they are ready by the calendar.

Some things are simply gifts from the past. A cloud of dill, sprouted from last year's batch, covers part of the City Hall garden, along with many volunteer marigolds. We are pulling some of the dill to give this year's summer squash space and light to grow, but it can also be harvested by snipping the feathery leaves and leaving the rest of the plant to grow more

If you go to City Hall, take some dill will with you!

Now, we're scrambling to replace the harvested  veggies with new seeds or seedlings for harvest in September while we also try to keep the beds and paths free of weeds. 

If you want to garden with us or get an overview if what's where so you can garden on your own, come to a group gardening session or contact us and we can meet up with you!
